I love the "stage 1" hoarders designation. I am definitely that in my sewing room!

And Kwiltykahy, I believe you are correct that it was Erma Bombeck who said that about get well cards. I have most of her books and loved reading her column in the paper for many years!

Messy is different then filthy. I'm talking about used tampons on the bathroom floor, rotting compost buckets uncovered in the kitchen, litter boxes that are overflowing, pet accidents left on area rugs, I've seen this and more at other's homes. Yes I catalog it in my mine to never return.
