I’m watching an episode of “Hoarders, Buried Alive” on TLC and thinking random thoughts:
There are some really sad people out there.
And I thought my house was messy!
If I emptied all of my stuff and Studly’s stuff into the middle of our living room would we still be able to find floor to walk on? Should I try it?
If one has tons of books is she considered a hoarder or a bibliophile?
Why is it that many hoarders’ homes appear fairly normal from the outside
I think I should become a hoarding counselor. Or a princess.
Here are some scenes from the series:

Oh dear, where did these people sleep?

Some of them have created little nests within the stuff they’ve hoarded. One man was living in a tent outside of his home. It’s a disease. A terribly debilitating disease.

I have never been much of a housekeeper, but an hour watching this show has me feeling like a domestic goddess.

Lord help these folks!! That is wild and makes me feel a lot better about my place! I put things off sometimes but never to that extent!! I think I’m a weirdo because I get a strange satisfaction from having a clean house! I’ve been told it is from being a Virgo…..although if you could see my closet you would just shake your head!! LOL

It really is sad! Most of these folks have had a major trauma in their lives–death of a child, early death of a spouse. Somehow their collections make them feel better.
