(38,206 posts)My mother is. What does she do with her overflow? Sends it down to my house. Then, at any time later when she wants it, I had better still be storing it for her. It just kills me. When I was a kid, my closet was not really mine. It was full of her stuff. Now, my trailer/hovel (everyone I know calls my little trailer a hovel, so I do too now, but I love this place, it has potential, as I see it) is full of my mother's stuff. I'm saving up to build a largish shed in the backyard to store all her crap, while her huge metal building at her house sits empty except for her van. It just kills me.
I do have a small collection of rocks and Japanese stuff, but if this place had only my stuff, it would fit nicely with no problems. It would actually look really nice if I could actually put it up on the wall in shadow boxes. As of nowadays, I don't really collect any more stuff, at least not physical stuff.
The computer helps a lot with the accumulation of stuff nowadays. Now, my hard drive and how quickly I can fill a hard drive is another story. I'm a full on hoarder when it comes to files. Hell, I even make computer art and leave it the highest quality and the size to make into wallpaper. I can't help it. There is a whole world of fun inside this little machine. I love it!
