This is what I'm scared of
http://news.ca.msn.com/world/cp-article.aspx?cp-documentid=25370722
I don't know why I'm so petrified of hoarding, I have never known anyone who has this condition, but this literally scares the heck out of me. I know that this is why I'm compulsive about cleaning and organizing my own home. I absolutely abhor knick knacks and any little items that can collect dust. It can feel like our house is pretty barren actually, because there is literally not one thing sitting out. For example, in our tv room, besides the furniture (couch, loveseat, chair, coffee table, lamp/sidetable, end table, tv stand and big screen) the ONLY things in the room are three remote controls on the coffee table, a picture of HH and I in a frame on the lamp-table, and a candle and two picture frames on the end table. There are two pieces of art on the walls. And it's a big room.
I watch the show "Hoarders" in a weird kind of morbid fascination, and then immediately need to throw more things out. Not a day goes by that I don't throw things away. But can you even imagine living like the poor lady and her husband in this article? It just brings tears to my eyes!
Re: This is what I'm scared of
Ummm... That's buh-sgusting! I can't imagine that the house would smell so bad that no one would notice the scent of a 4 MONTH OLD DECOMPOSING CORPSE! I mean... seriously. Ew.
I'm going to go vomit now... Thanks J.
This may sound bad, but I love watching the show Hoarders. It makes me feel icky enough to where I get up and start scrubbing down the house. I mean, I totally feel bad for the people on the show because most of them don't realize that they have a problem, but come on... you leave a pumpkin rotting on your floor because "it was just too pretty to throw away"???? REEEEEALLLLLY?????
