[QUOTE="donna723, post: 539618, member: 1883"] Lisa, you never know! His "hoarding" may turn out to be a blessing in disguise if some of those things will bring you some good money. My grandmother was a major "packrat" who saved [I]everything[/I]! When she died and her house was cleaned out, they probably threw out [I]thousands[/I] of dollars worth of things going back to the turn of the century because they didn't know what they were worth! I like to watch "Hoarders" because it makes me feel better about my own house! You can always sit back and say, "Well, at least mine isn't that bad!" I can halfway understand these people who have a collection that gets out of hand, or the ones who hang on to things because they think that someone might need them, or the ones who fill the empty spots in their life with "things", or the ones who hang on to every little scrap of paper and receipt for some reason. One of my oldest and dearest friends, a musician, just posted a picture on Facebook of a receipt he unearthed for some equipment he bought in a music store ... back in 1971! But the ones I just CANNOT understand are the ones who look like they haven't taken out the garbage since Eisenhower was in office and they just throw everything on the floor and then walk through it! Or the ones who haven't done the dishes in so long that they can't even find their sink any more! How do those people live like that? Eeeewwwww! [/QUOTE]
