Yeah! Its wild isn't it! Did you see the episode where the lady had no power, or running water, and her goat at a hole in the side of her house? Its very sad! And people look down on them. They say its a disease. How sad...

This one is about a lady that, her boyfriend died right in front of her while lifting weights..... and ever since then she started to get this sickness...
How sad...

never seen it but have coworkers addicted to it and they give me the lowdown on it. Too crazy how low some people will live, I think it is an illness.

I know..i cant stand clutter either..it makes me feel closed in and nervous..
I saw where this poor older lady used to save all the neighborhood cats and her house was just awful..well..when they went in to clean her out..they found TWO dead cats under all the junk in her house.(and they had been there for a LONG time..)... People were gagging..trying not to vomit...

I've watched it for 30 something years....every time I go to my grandma's house. I actually talked her into letting me haul off 2 TRUCKloads of stuff once....not even a dent. Couldn't tell I had done anything. It is SOOOOOOOOO sad to see firsthand!

I can imagine! It really is a sickness..they like NEED to hold on to the stuff..for whatever reason...
Usually some loss or trauma happend to them..i think....So by having all their "stuff" they feel safe with it...its security to them...
