hoardhouse.com/This site was amazing--I haven't checked all of it, so hopefully there is nothing there to cause offense. The part I liked best was hearing the lady from Bergfield's talk about things they've found in the hoardfilled/cluttered homes of their clients. I'm a lady of modest income, and I think someplace in the back of my head I still have this idea that people with more money, better jobs, etc. don't hoard, and don't clutter.

Thank you for that site. I liked the video From Clutterer To Neat Freak under support.

Thanks for that site.
I was really encouraged to see how kind the exterminator guy was with Frederick. It's nice to see people who are able to see beyond your stuff, and see that you are a person with feelings and worries. He didn't act horrified; he didn't condescend or act sugary sweet (like I see on some of those tv shows)... He just did his job, and promised he would take care of things.

I'm a lady of modest income, and I think someplace in the back of my head I still have this idea that people with more money, better jobs, etc. don't hoard, and don't clutter. I have known personally several hoarder-clutterers who were very well off. Sometimes their homes don't look 'too bad' as they can have many thousands of square feet in which to store their stuff. Also, they may have the money to have lots of cleaning help; personal bookkeepers who keep their files-records-tax stuff in good order. And so on.............. I was talking about just this issue with a family friend recently. We commented on the incredible BUYING habits of another pal. We observed: if we want to have some retail therapy, we might buy one or two things, as we don't have a lot of $$$$ to 'waste'. But RICH FRIEND (closet hoarder-clutter) would buy far more things. And has cleaning staff who *toss the wrapping papers; *organize the shop-and-drop bags; *get rid of the smelly garbage; *surreptitiously clean out the rotten food things; *etc interesting site: thankx for the link |

I too was very touched by the cleaning staff and exterminator--none of them said disparaging things about their clients, which moved me to tears. And the professional de-clutterer who said he would have loved to work on a historic squalor cleaning--that blew me away. Truely he is called to do this work.

That's a really great site, y4o. Thanks for sharing it. I'm watching the stories while I sort through papers this afternoon. (There's kind of an irony in this, isn't there?)
