Did he know she would never divorce him- ? I was thinking she has to take what she gets looking like that and if it is a hoarder, it's a hoarder. Then you could tell right away at the beginning that the old lady was hopeless. When she was still whining about how someone YEARS ago threw out some "valuable collectibles" you could tell she was a lost cause.

A new assisted living place would be ideal for her. Now that fat ass bitch who was more of a hoarder than her husband - OMG. The thing that I couldn't stop thinking about...how could they have sex in such a nasty bedroom???

How do people live with someone like that? Aside from the total filth and repulsive physical appearance, her personality was really grating. I felt sorry for the guy! I think MMMadcow's right, that dude's gonna end up living in that van. The "old" lady -- who was only 64 for Christ's sake! -- was hopeless. Had that blank look in her eyes.

I think it finally clicked with her when she discovered about 500 boxes of Electra-sol stashed around the house that she admitted she bought. Fuck, she couldn't even get to the dishwasher in the kitchen to use that shit. They got a lot of it cleaned up & the hubby did great. Her, not so much. They still never got to the kid's room but said they would before his birthday. And the van his dad died in was still in the yard. The old lady finally came around & they were able to fix her heat & shore up the support beams in the basement. Her living room was clean at the end. She looked happy. But damned if she didn't give the doc grief. I love feisty old ladies. That'll be me in a couple of years minus the houseful of crap. But then I don't know. I saw a bunch of her stuff & wanted it. She had Billy Beer for gawd's sake! And a roasting pan I'd fight over. Does that mean I'm an old lady hoarder in training? Oh fuck!

There were times when her right eye wouldn't close or open all the way and she had that tremor when she spoke. Liked Warren- his heinous cow of a wife was far more of a problem. I can see saving like a few special baby outfits. I framed the coming home from the hospital shirt/hat/bracelet and I have a little dress that I just love too much to part with at the moment. But I am not saving four thousand spit upon onesies till the end of time. Donate them or better yet sell them to those kids consignment stores. I don't get back the original investment but I make a little back and other kids get to use them. Win-Win.

She was really pretty and stylish too, something bad much have happened to her mentally to let herself go in such a way. Poor Warren, he looks like a really good guy, but he seems a little heckpecked and a bit passive ... and it seems like the wife - who was a fatty when they married - took advantage of it. My guess is that when they were having sex Warren was covering her up with the hoard so as not to see her naked. Even fatty wife's sister knew Warren was half the problem (and in Warren's defense I can see where his hoard would have more value than her's) ... can't knock him for wanting to keep the van, but at least he could fix it up so it isn't a eyesore like his wife.

I'll put one of my mother's dresses on it ..who the hell has a mannequin in their house? and the hot pants from the 70s agree she'll die in that mess. the fat pig who sat there and watched her baby trying to clean his room. If that alone didn't click with her and say OMG, what have we done? and very interesting when it's revealed that she is as much a hoarder as he is.

I'm going to try and work in her hoarding into the meeting somehow even though I'm supposed to be helping her find a job. My curiosity over whether she is a regular hoarder or a filthy disgusting one is too big to ignore.

My husband has these tendencies and I have to beat him to within an inch of his life every couple years to get him to clear out the clutter. I'm not a total neat freak, but he hangs on to so many things. For instance, bits and pieces of every computer he's owned since 1994, every cellphone for the last 20 yrs, magazines, books, clothes he can't wear in public, etc. If I were to die suddenly, I'm pretty sure he'd be on this show in less than 5 yrs.

OMG! The gleam in that old bitches eyes when the therapist asked her if she thought other people kept so many things from their childhood and she said "Yes" .. that woman was out and out lying, knew she was lying to someone there to help her, and got a thrill out of it. She's fucking evil.

I see it with people in my family. grew up not having a lot and hence, hang on to it ALL. (none are "i have no running water and use adult diapers instead and then SAVE them" bad) I have to be careful about it too. i mean, you NEVER know when you're going to need that old cell phone from '99. but i'm getting better. i bet, as the economy worsens instead of gets better, this show could run for another 30 years.

You'd never know it by being a guest in my house, but the moment you open closet doors or cabinets, you get a glimpse of it. For me, it's a problem of organization. I simply have no idea what to do with every gizmo, cord/charger, appliance manual, etc., so they simply pile up. Although moving helped me to realize my problem more, and get rid of most of it, it's creeping back up on me, especially since Christmas. One of my kitchen cabinets is gettting scarily close to overflowing. While most sensible people would think "Hey, let me organize that", I have never learned how to organize, and so my brain just "stops" when I go to do it, and I simply close the door and walk away. I'm guessing I just need to buy some baskets or something to put it all in. If anyone has suggestions of organizational tools I can buy to help, I'm very open to that! I just use big Rubbermaid containers. I have a crapload of lotions and stuff (I actually use them all), but they were piling up, so I got some big containers and slid them under my bed, and I just keep a basket by my bed so when I get up in the morning I pick out my scent for the day and take my stuff downstairs with me. I have no organizational skills either, so that works for me. My uses them for her kitchen stuff (hand mixers, blender, food processor, etc...) too, since we don't use them even close to every day.

Remove this ad So I just met with my hoarder client and managed to get the following information out of her: Her kids refuse to visit her because of the mess She seems to be a regular hoarder and not one of the gross disgusting ones She cleared a small workspace on her dining room table to set up a computer and that took a lot of effort And she has one cat (I was scared to ask if she had any buried in the garbage for fear of the answer) Before she left she took two diet coke cans and one old newspaper out of my recycle bin. Oh and her purse tipped over at one point and all sorts of paper fell out.
