    Wife's a little bit of a hoarder but as much of a issue is the fact we haven't moved in 30 years, that helps alot with getting rid of shit. I'll get in a mood once in a while to start throwing stuff out. Doing that now in the shop since it's slow, sorting thru all the stuff I saved because I might need it and 20 years later it's still there covered with dust. Got alot of parts I've got stuck with too over the years.

    My mom died suddenly, a hoarder in a 2 bdr. dondo. She had a few thin paths to get around. LOTS of stuff/trash mostly.
    My Brother, sister and I had to fly to Dallas to clean out her condo- which was in a bad part of town, and basically workthless.
    She had every Barbie ever made I think, and 2-3 of many or them.
    She has lots of Beany babies too.
    We had all the stuff cleaned out by a big crew in 1 day, errything.
    We put the Barbies and beannies boxes and got a storage- that was about 3 years ago.
    Not sure what happened to them. A depressing time.

    Studio Apartment? Ah. I understand. You live in your moms basement too. That's cool.

    It was the beer, not the sausage.

    My father's wife can't throw anything away. They pay ninety dollars monthly to rent a storage unit full of crap that wouldn't bring five dollars in total at a yard sale.

    I have a few 48 ft. refrigerated trailers. One of them, the engine was flooded, so we parked it, intending to fix later. Brother and his wife wanted to "store a few items" until their house was built...................well, the house was built..............they lived there 3 years........................then they sold it...........................moved to another house....................and their shit is still fills up a 48 ft. trailer. They haven't opened the doors in years. There is furniture, clothing, photo albums, you name it, all in an non-conditioned aluminum box.

    Told them last year I was going to chunk the shit and sell the trailer. You should have heard the screams...NOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT'S THE RUSH ASSHOLE?!!!!

    My parents are downsizing homes and I’m glad I don’t have to dig through all their shit when they die, they’re taking care of all that as I type this. They are getting ready to sell their main homestead, and are going to semi-live in my home for the next year as they get a smaller home built. I’m in the oilfield, so it’s not much of a bother as I rarely spend more than a night or two there a month, but my mom’s always been a snooper ever since I was a little kid. I hope I have all my porn out of the house, or my mom will question how my tastes in porn have evolved since the busted-with-Playboys days of yore. :D

    It’s a bit weird, though, them trying to give me their valuables. It’s not an entirely good feeling. It makes me a bit more sensitive to their still being here, and how little of importance tangible things really are. I really love those weirdos.

    That reminds me, I've got half a dozen little plastic cabinets and then of course a dozen coffee cans and other assorted holders - semi sorted but really need to get everything into one cabinet/tray whatever. Wish I'd thought about it during the holiday sales.
