This is a really well done mini-documentary done by a college student, I believe...

Note: it's about 20 minutes long, but worth it.

My family has some hoarders (and my mother in law is one, not quite this bad though!)... interesting in a geeky-documentary-watcher-kind-of-a-way.

The first one made me think of some of us book people here, only worse. SIX-THOUSAND books?? I have to make a conscious effort in certain parts of my life. Books are one of them. They have to fit nicely on the shelf or I get rid of some.

Edited so it made sense. LOL

I'm scared to look. I know some hoarders. My mother in law is one too Candy! :ph34r:

Wow! I at least can release my books, send them to others, wild release them etc.! :o

My x-boyfriends grandparents were hoarders. It was the saddest thing I had ever seen! They must have had 100's of empty cereal boxes. Their living room was nothing but newspapers everywhere stacked to the ceiling! I was afraid that if their house ever caught fire, they would never get out. I had nightmares about it. Very Scary!

I saw this a few days ago. The first one didn't seem so bad to me! :lol: But the rest made me feel nervous and claustrophobic.

OMG, I'm going to go upstairs and do the FlyLady thing right now!!

Anyone need some books for wild releasing??

I think I live teetering on the edge of that. Just one tragedy could push me over the edge...

Ick - I don't understand it at all..... :blink:

I just removed 25 books from my Mt. TBR and took 20 books out of my PC and made them available! Now, to get them out of the house! :whip:

OMG, just seeing the dust in that last house makes me have an asthama attack. And I don't even have asthma.
