Q: “Everyone in my family brings their old stuff to the cottage. Basically any used item they don’t need gets sent up to the lake. They think they are making contributions, but I feel like I’m the only one who sees this stuff piling up. Who needs three hot-air popcorn poppers? My sister just dragged in a child-sized ceramic garden gnome because it has ‘kitsch factor.’ How can I stop this madness?”
