What's up, you ask me? Lots of things...the ceiling...trees...the sky...airplanes...my blood pressure...the price of almost everything... My Dad was quite the hoarder. And so was his Mom, and her Mom, and I'm not sure how far back it goes, but there are a few tons of papers scattered about the house that I have to sort through to decide what needs kept and what is 'junk'. And the man had FOURTEEN bowling balls. No clue why. I know he really enjoyed bowling all his life, but there was/is no reason to keep that many bowling balls laying around unless it is a bowling alley. And over 50 outdated telephone books (all pre-2005). Why? They have absolutely no value. I guess I am gonna have to work to earn my inheritance. It is going to take me a month or two to sort through all this stuff. But truth be told, I'd rather have Dad back than have an inheritance...

My condolences to you and your family. It is really hard to deal people with this kind of sickness. My mom too is a hoarder. Because she loves crafts so much anythiny that you can basically turn into something she will keep it. Lots of old clothes just so she can make them new by adding like a crochet flower or some buttons, or sew something on it. cans, stones empty plastic wraps, papers, newspapers, magazines, oh my goodness their house is like a junk house already, old tires, vases for her planting but its already a decade 😃.... oh my goodness.... But when I told her that she was a hoarder she won't accept it. She said you just don't know what I can do with them! Good thing, no one from one of her 8 children became a hoarder. I hope you can sort everything in your dad's house.
