[M.D. Holloway]

Everyone's got baggage - some of it is in good shape and often used. I use my Moms death from time to time to get some sympathy!

Others have baggage that is never used and hidden because it is torn or in bad shape. That maybe the case with your wife.

Others have lost baggage that they forgot they have. They only relize it when they see the same bag pop up on baggage claim while waiting. Thats the worst - that could be a girl friend that was abused and she pushed it out to forget.

I think your wife has to put some duct tape on her baggage and use it for once rather than tuck it away. Bad experiences are painful if you make them that way. Use them positively somehow and the ill affect gets negated. It all depends on how you choose to understand it or rationalize it.

Or, shoot a bunny with a pancake on it's head! They make for good eat'n...
