MR. PANDEMONIUM WEIGHS IN ON THE TOPIC OF HOARDING!

Is it pathology,or is it some of the best fun you will ever have in this short life we have?

CASE STUDY

The many hats of my neighborTerry B: Barber Shop, Radio Repair Shop, Sewing Machine Shop, Pancake House Owner, Electrical Engineer, Fisherman, Collector, Traveler,etc…

Terry is a multitasker and no one is going to pick a bone with that; it\'s actually a talent that is encouraged, even venerated, in this materialistic culture. He\'s a little restless too, and has circulated around many career and job choices that usuallyinvolves a shop ofsome kind: Barber Shop, Radio Shop, Sewing Machine Shop, Pancake Shop, etc.

Well, in this mobile society moving from one thing to another has become common andmay be easy for some, especially if you didn\'t like what you were doing or where you were doing it. But, forTerry moving on was a bittersweet process because heloved everything about all of the many hats that he wore. So, when he was ready to move along, he always took with him as muchmemento mori from his travails as he could.

Ultimately, this led to many boxes, tubs, bags, and bins of many varieties of many different kinds of things all associated with the many different hats Terry wore. (And, by the way, he kept all those hats, too!).

Being invited into his home to pick reminded meof that great song from the 80\'s called Memorabilia:

\"Give me a reminder;I collect, I reject,

Memorabilia.....

Little bits of glassware

Ashtrays with inscriptions

Plastic things on pencils

Bits of mass production

Postcards, pretty pictures

Little bits of plastic

Memorabilia (Keychains and snowstorms) castanets, mantilla torremolinos and plastic men..... \"

Double Your Pleasure andA Match Made In Hoard Heaven: Along the way Terry met and met andmarried Sarah who also loved to hold on to things that attracted her. Together they made a demon team and filled a couple of houses, garages, barns, and yards with so much stuff their properties started to look like something had taken them over, or what some would callhoarding. But, what it looked like to me was a lifetime together documented much better than a faded photo album or fuzzy video tape. In essence, the joy of their cluttermost certainly outweighed the clutter of theclutter.

Recently, I have been helping Terry downsize (which is where this and manyother current listings in my shop are from). He and Ihave developed a relationship that is nearly synchronistic: he knows what I like and lets me know when he finds something that will appeal to me. If I agree (which is almost a 100% thing) he puts it \"on the pile\" for my next visit!This is like having what I calla \"Rolling Estate Sale\" with a personal picker and the benefit is mutual.
