Re: hoarding - "My Mother's Garden" is an amazing, amazing film about the illness. [link] It's truly an eye-opener as to the depth of illness that goes with/causes the behavior.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Mostly lurking...
We have a hoarder in our neighborhood. It really is so sad. I've actually had to threaten to call the police if she steps on our property again to go through the trash. Their back yard is just a mess. And I've heard her in screaming fights with her daughter. It just makes me so sad.
Timelies, all!
Happy Birthday, Matilda!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Matilda!
I think if you're in any kind of artistic pursuit, you have a seasonal albatross to bear. In band it was Sousa marches. Feh. The only one I could cope with was "Liberty Bell" because I could at least envision Monty Python skits.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday Matilda!
