I gotta disagree with HP on this one. It's not like the inventory is sitting in the middle of the living room floor and they're tripping over it.

Lou, I think getting rid of the inventory is not going to fill BB's love tank IMHO. Simply getting rid of this stuff that you can sell and realize a profit on goes against your value system.

I don't equate it with HP stretching herself to have spiritual convos with her H. A closer parallel might be if HP's hubby insisted that she keep her car cleaned out, a car that only she drives and that he rarely sees the inside of.

It's not that BB wants more quality time with Lou and that the inventory is preventing this. If BB said, "From now on, I want us to spend two evenings a week together, and maybe you can find time to putter with your gadgets at another time so it doesn't interfere with our 'together time,'" that would be a different matter... but I think if it weren't the 'stuff' it would be something else.

I just had another thought... maybe BB is projecting. She UNCONSCIOUSLY condemns herself for accumulating so much junk, so she sees in Lou the fault she CANNOT see in herself... and condemns HIM for it.

Anyway... IMHO this ISN'T about the stuff... Frankly, I don't know what WOULD fill BB's love tank...
