too much stuff

i watched the show 'hoarders' for the first time last night. oh my heavens. i was beyond disgusted. one woman said she loves to collect things and mentioned cats as one of her collection items. cats? not ok. it wasn't until i arrived home and found myself cleaning the corners of my house that i realized how much the show affected me. i had trouble falling asleep. i'm still grossed out just thinking about it.


many of the relatives of the hoarders said they were afraid to clean out the person's house because they thought the hoarder would freak out on them. let them freak out and get over it. they need professional help. i am so opposite of a pack rat, i can't even deal with clutter. so much of those 'collections' could go to goodwill and help people who don't have enough. yikes.
