It's gotten to the point where I say unpleasant things, out loud, to the hoarders on the screen. ("It's got _mice_ in it, for bleep's sake! Throw it out!") This is probably a sign that I should stop watching. :)Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-5887401016696151202010-02-12T10:35:50.292-08:002010-02-12T10:35:50.292-08:00I'm a hoarder w/certain things (art supplies, ...I'm a hoarder w/certain things (art supplies, yarn, knitting needles and now perfume) - but I watch "Hoarders" occassionally so I don't let myself go crazy! ;)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394558427981331885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-54118864713239065952010-02-12T10:28:45.437-08:002010-02-12T10:28:45.437-08:00Hey, flittersniffer and LCN!

Is the perfume-freakery a way to give that tendency an outlet in a controlled way? <br /><br />Perfume's small, and the bottles are lovely objects, and you can do a lot of thrashing and churning for each purchase, and you use it without using it up ... it gives the acquisition and Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713094656031780936.post-63236209118083578442010-02-11T05:26:23.596-08:002010-02-11T05:26:23.596-08:00I smell a post coming on: "Ho" or "...I smell a post coming on: "Ho" or "Hoarder"? <br /><br />I am super selective about bottle buying, but samplers-- I'll buy/sniff just about anything. I've never been a collector of <i>anything</i>. I'm the opposite of a "stuff" person. But I have hoarding in my family, and I notice my unwillingness to part with all but the most distasteful samples.

I suffer from the hoarding gene as well...at the end, my father lived entombed by books, books, more books, the last 20 years of The Church Times, holiday brochures stretching back to the dawn of package holidays, old mail order catalogues and even some editions of Life and Picture Post that may be worth a bob or two.

On the other hand, having identified a few scents that I really, really love - I'm less inclined to buy bottles of something similar to the beloveds.

It's great to smell lovely - and different - all the time. I couldn't stand the idea of finding the 'best' scent and wearing it for the next twenty years.
