This morning, as is my custom, I was reading a few websites I visit every morning. My local newspaper for one, a couple other regional and national (I skim the front pages and on those who have it, the most emailed section) and then Salon.com I have been reading Salon for years and am a premium member, which should express how much I like it.
Anyway, Salon.com has a daily advice column,Since You Asked by Cary Tennis and today's letter is interesing. The letter writer is complaining about his wife being a compulsive hoarder and the damage this is doing to their marriage. Tennis gives his advice and then you can read other reader's comments on both the letter and the advice. While reading the comments I came across reference to a website called Squalor Survivors
Wow, what a website. I am just awestruck. And greatful. No matter how cluttered I think my house is, it isn't that bad! I can't tell you how good I feel about that. Okay, my little moment of superiority a side, there are mega tips and ideas on that site and I always look at things for what I can use.
If you are a hoarder, please accept any apologies if it seems I am making light or fun of this. It is a serious problem and I am thankful that I don't have it. At best I am a mild pack rat and have learned to pretty much control that.
Will be posting more later today.
