I Am Anticipating HOARDERS The New Series On A&E!

He lives abt 60-70 miles north of me, actually, but I will be in that area tomorrow & may swing through if they are still filming.

For some fucked up reason I've been watching this show on Netflix and it's making me just as angry, especially people who cannot give a fuck about how badly they are hurting others, especially when those others are kids.

Like, spouses that are saying, "I can't live like this. I want to die" and the hoarding person is just like, "DON'T THROW OUT MY RAT URINE SOAKED PILE OF NEWSPAPERS." ARG.

I binge on this show a few episodes at a time and then don't watch it again for 10 or 12 months. I realize the compulsion to hoard is an illness, but about half the time on this show the hoarder in question is just a mean-ass person.

oof yeah there was one yesterday with a mom who got angry and screamed and threw knives at her daughters when she got angry, which was pretty much any time the daughters didn't do what she wanted. I was definitely advocating that her daughters got on with their own lives and let their mean ass mom live and die in her hoard.

There's one on now with a cat hoarder, and all of his cats are sick as fuck, and they keep finding dried up flat dead kittens in the layers of garbage in his house, and this dude I feel a lot of serious anger towards this poor, ill man.

So much so I can't formulate fully coherent sentences.

i watched one recently where the mom just sat on this trash throne all day drinking huge cups of soda and next to her throne were like 50 million empty soda bottles and i kinda thought that one would make a good one act play off-broadway. she never left that seat and her kids just tried to crawl through the wreckage. they could barely move inside the house. her daughter managed to cook in a kitchen that was knee deep in garbage.

I've started to realize that I have a little of this problem, but only in my pantry and freezer. With other accumulated stuff, we're not so bad — we sold/gave away half of our books this past weekend.

blehhh, I only posted that because I thought they found a cat but it wasn't in that clip.
back when I watched one season of that show :/
