I don't exactly hoard but have difficult time throwing things away some time because "might need it."

Hoarding
A few years back, a widow in our town died and shocked the neighbors with what the estate sellers found. They went to inventory the contents of the house and found THOUSANDS of kitchen items hoarded in every room, nook and cranny in the house, as well as -- this is true, seriously -- buried shallowly in the yard in and behind bushes, the garage, near the house, etc. They were everywhere! Old pyrex dishes. Baked bean crocks. And the silverware! Thousands of pieces! They made a pretty penny at the estate sale. Sweet, quiet, but kooky old lady. May she rest in peace.
