It also seems to be an Engineer thing, as getting mine to get rid of (or even properly unpack and store) ANYTHING involves much negotiation, shouting, pleading, and eventually just doing it myself and dealing with the fallout later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-9127056332291093532016-04-03T07:51:39.629-07:002016-04-03T07:51:39.629-07:00

Then a cousin scanned them all, and another cousin set up a Dropbox so we could all upload scanned photos or video clips of my grandparents. Eventually, a big selection of these came to be uploaded into a digital picture frame that made a little slideshow. Maybe something like this would be good to do for Primo?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243733860598387648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-71446655571252079042016-04-02T20:04:56.406-07:002016-04-02T20:04:56.406-07:00When Mother died I took your approach and sent 50+...When Mother died I took your approach and sent 50+ years' worth of pictures to my cousins, brother and old family friends. They claimed to be thrilled. Got notes and letters from several thanking me. it was a win-win. Maybe by now Primo has been able to do it. hoping for the best for you!webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-83172729347954623552016-04-02T17:20:53.241-07:002016-04-02T17:20:53.241-07:00I like the idea of 30 minutes a day...
Poor Primo,...I like the idea of 30 minutes a day...<br />Poor Primo, if this was November, it was about 5 months since his dad passed? Yeah, that would be hard to make the photo decisions. Maybe in another 5 months...emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831705475681591440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-58974604840867010212016-04-02T14:50:06.452-07:002016-04-02T14:50:06.452-07:00I am (almost) Primo and my husband is you in this ...I am (almost) Primo and my husband is you in this case, and I have at least half a dozen large boxes of family photos to sort through.

Doesn't inefficiency bother Primo?<br /><br />Anyway, I like the idea of sending some (just keeping a few) to the others, so they have the memories, too. Someone else mentioned scanning them, and that's a great idea. There are services that do that for you as well, so then Primo would be able to keep all of the photos in a way and would still be able to send some on. It's no use keeping something you never even look at or through! Jessica (tc)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03564445216028670184noreply@blogger.com
