[78-L] Does this episode of Hoarders apply to you?

[eugene hayhoe]

For a 'flip side' try American Pickers - haven't seen records, but on AP, people are praised for 'keeping old things around.' Can't say as I've seen even one 'collector' on that show that seems to have 'mental issues,' though some do have age related mobility issues.
