I have no SO, I through out stuff when I want to, except I don’t touch my daughters stuff. If she has stuff I think is junk in some part of the house, I move it to outside her bedroom. I’m a borderline pack rat, but to me a house needs to be comfortable to be a home. Too cluttered that it’s messy isn’t good, so anally organised that it’s a display piece is just as bad. And just for shits and giggles can we arrange for John T’s wife to visit Typo Negative’s sister? I want to watch. 😃 (John T, I think your missus needs therapy) ---

> [@Mangosteen](#): > > I’m with you all the way here, BUT please don’t say, “men…”. My wife is a class 5 hoarder and if it wasn’t for me, _we’d be living in waist-high piles of paper_. Sorry I was unclear. One of my near-hoarders is female, so I didn’t mean to imply a generalization about either gender.
