Guilty Pleasure

"I'm Moons and I'm a Hoarders Addict."

"Hi, Moons!"

"I'm addicted to watching a show which is all about people addicted to hoarding 'stuff,' what you or I might refer to as 'garbage.' It's like watching a train wreck; I can't turn away. I will be eternally grateful to the A&E network for broadcasting this trash fest weekly.

"If the people on this show were your neighbors or tenants you'd probably be close to homicide and/or suicide on a daily basis. Their yards are filled with debris, but usually the outside is 99% better than the inside of their homes.

"Oh, man, it's nasty. There was a woman, Jill, who bought mass amounts of food most of which rotted all over her house. Needless to say, her landlord threatened her with eviction. She failed to comprehend the health hazard of keeping decomposing food EVERYWHERE. She was 60, but looked 75, which just shows you that living with rotting vegetables (even though they're organic) doesn't help your beauty regimen. Not to mention the cat crap everywhere.

Yeah, these folks don't throw anything away because everything might possibly be used. Someday. In a galaxy, far, far away called the psych hospital."

*Applause*

Hi Moons, I'm Que!
That sort of thing happens sometimes in New Zealand as well, but I guess we haven't got enough cases to fill a weekly program. (Mainly because there are a lot less people in NZ compared to USA.)

Yes, I imagine you would need a face mask in those places -- at least! Maybe a respirator with special filters. (Of course, I realize you don't need one in your house - it looks clean and tidy from what I can see.)

By the way, thanks for continuing to "show just how crazy the world really is." I don't think you will run out of material any time soon!

Glad you came by, Que, and I appreciate your kind words.

There is no shortage of craziness, that's for sure.
