: Mr. Chang, first of all: Why do people have their clothes cleaned but don't pick them up?
Chang
: Good question!

We now store almost 400 items of clothing.

They also often complained of heart problems, joint pain, incompetent politicians, that sort of thing.
In addition, many of her friends have died.
I wanted to cheer her up with my idea.
