Hoarding!

Phil,

I loved your column on hoarding that ran today in the Richmond County Daily Journal.

I just recently admitted to myself that I might be a hoarder. I have always told myself that I was just prudent, frugal, and thrifty. I saved books and newspapers and magazines, etc. But, I also saved nuts,bolts washers, and anything else I thought that the Japanese could possibly recycle. I figure if they could make something out of it I could too!

See how long I have been 'saving' ?

 I have thousands of books including two in the backseat of the car. There might be one in the van but I would have to dig through other stuff to find it.

I don't think it's an illness at all. Just prudence. Who knows when we might need another plastic cup. I don't mean to be judgemental though, but I do think the hoarders on the TV show really are sick.

Best wishes for 2013,

Jay Hudson
