Is that $20,0000 or $20,000? Either way, keeping old crap in the hopes that it will be worth something someday will get you a starring spot on the next "Hoarders" episode.

In the 1950's we had different expectations of travel. Bullet trains would be nice though, as traveling by airplane sucks big donkey balls.
We have folks in our little town trying to turn it into the big city they came from by attempting to eliminate automobile traffic and force people to hide their cars and walk everywhere. Many of us feel they are ruining this place and wish they would go back to the big city and swim in that big pond instead of our little one. |
In my opinion, Sandpoint is one of those beautiful small towns that need to be left just the way it is. If those people want to live in a big city, LA has many empty houses on the cheap. |

Collecting and Hoarding are two different beasts. I collect things, whereas, my grandmother hoards shit. The stuff she hoards is LITERALLY garbage.

So what is it when you aren't really collecting or hoarding and the stuff just piles up? Around here it seems to collect faster then I can get rid of it!
