I came across a show on A&E called Hoarders and another called
Hoarders, Buried Alive. A link to one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmlcen0vf8s People keep buying stuff until they need a trail to get trough the house. Cockroaches and mice keep them company in some cases. |

I've seen that. Hard to imagine they exist. If you ever watch American Pickers you see some of that and they just can't bear to sell some of it. |

Another link he https://www.aetv.com/shows/hoarders It's a very common mental illness. The TV shows tend to sensationalize the worst cases. for TV ratings doncha know .. Years ago, I thought it might be related to people who grew up in poverty or through bad times - .. apparently not. John T. |

A friend's neighbor is a hoarder. Calls himself a "collector"but the basement is packed with newspapers and magazines. Last spring he had a frozen drain back up and fill the basement a foot deep in water. He got spme shopping containers and emptied out the basement - salvaging every piece that didn't get wet - and when the basement was all cleaned out and dried it all went back in. A year later and apparently you would never know any had been lost - - -. Said you had to walk sideways to get from the back door to the stairs. The rest of the house is no better but the stuff their MIGHT actually have had some value at one point. |

A link to one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmlcen0vf8s People keep buying stuff until they need a trail to get trough the house. Cockroaches and mice keep them company in some cases. There were no cockroaches or mice in the case that follows, but I knew a girl who saved every piece of mail, including junk mail and unread magazines, that she got. I was over there for some reason and like you say there was a narrow path trough the (small fwiw) living room to the dining room. There was a cabinet her sister had bought her to get her to organize her stuff, but it was still in the box, unassembled. So she's dating someone and they want to get married but his condition is that she clean up her house before then. But she didn't, and they married anyhow. They were never going to live there, becuase it was a small cheap house, all she could afford, but together they could afford better. And I suppose she could sell her house with all the junk mail filling the living room, but what if there is important mail mixed in. Probably was. Anyhow, this girl was a sex counseler at some college, believe it or not, and her goal was iiuc to keep students from getting pregnant, and they/she more likely would frequently tell her that she only had sex once and that's when they got pregant, and my friend never believed them. But she and her brand new husband only had sex without birth control once, on their wedding night, and she got pregnant. Just like those girls told her. Now the house they had bought together was 60+ years old and needed some remodellng, and she couldn't live there while they were making all that dust, because of the baby, so for the first several months of their marriage, she lived in her old clutttered house and he lived in the new one, and they only saw each other at dates at the hardware store. --the end-- |

The rest of the house is no better but the stuff their MIGHT actually have had some value at one point. In college I had a '50 Olds, and I saw another on the street with back-up lights, and with a lot of nerve, I put a note on the window asking to buy the lights. He didn't want to do that but we became friends. He actually had two of them, one a fastback. He had another place where he lived, but he also owned an old townhouse that I visited and and it had scorse, hundreds or wooden open boxes that contained electronic and auto parts. He gave me a bunch, most of which I still have, I'm sure, though I don't remember which is which. There was no furniture on the ground floor, just boxes, with a narrow lane for walking. I don't know what was upstairs. I hated to do it but when I left chicago, I hadn't been able to sell the Olds, so I gave it to him. It might have been more of a burden than a treat (My brotther had given me his '65 Catalina, and as much as Iliked the Olds (it had a better readio, even though, or because, it was tubes, not transistors) I liked the Pontiac more because it was a convertible. |

With the daughter who tried talking to him together with the psychiatrists and she no longer invites him to her house to see her granddaughter nor do they obviously visit him. Two guys entered the home and loved things around in the bedroom and roaches scattered everywhere. I felt itchy just watching it. |

Also, Antiques Roadshow. Going into some of these old farmyards is a neat experience for an old farm kid. Some of those guys must never have traded a piece of farm equipment. They'd apparently either bought all new or picked up stuff at farm sales. |
