[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 492744, member: 7083"] My dad is a hoarder. He will buy *anything* if it's a good deal, just because it's a good deal. It doesn't matter if he's ever going to use it. Most of it he doesn't. The last time I was at his house was 12 years ago, and I told him that he might want to go through all of his koi before he dies because I wasn't going to do it. I meant it. When I was 11 or 12, he was in love with this store in town that sold items marked "Irregular". That's where all of my Christmas presents came from that year. I only specifically remember 2 of them: one was a long-sleeved tee kind of thing with a hood, with "Illinois" (some kind of team thing) written on the sleeve. Except it was written backwards. The other was a pair of sweatpants where one leg hit mid-calf and the other hung below my foot. When I was pregnant with difficult child, he had moved and that town had a store where people dropped off clothes (like Goodwill, but not Goodwill). Those clothes went into bins and you could buy anything there for a quarter. His new favorite store. Guess where my Christmas stuff came from that year? I was 7 months pregnant with difficult child, but I never hit 140 pounds with her. I was back in my regular clothes 2 weeks after she was born. So, the size XXXL nightgown with penguins all over it? Nope. The stuff was so bad, I didn't even take it to Goodwill. I pitched it. [/QUOTE]
