I guess the line between stockpiling and hoarding is when you won't
toss food that has obviously gone bad and/or you can't even walk
around your home because you've accumulated so much ... and you're
looking for an opportunity to buy more.

I like buying extra when it's on sale. Most people do, I don't think
it's anything close to hoarding.

When my parents bought their last house in 1968,
it had a room full of shelves of home-canned food,
like peaches. I don't remember eating any of it,
so I assume it was all thrown out.

Blimey again. I usually have one each bag of whole wheat, bread, and all
purpose flour in canisters for ready use and another bag of each in the
freezer. Living in a warm climate I learned early on to freeze grains
for a week and then sift the weevils out. They get into the flour at the
factory or the market but I don't want bread, rolls, or biscuits with
little black specks in it. <G>

That last part of it is IT. But then how far does one extend the
list of staple?

That reminds me, Friday I'm going to an Asian store to stock up, I'm putting
pork belly on my shopping list...

This will be after a bunch of us goes to a local Chicago Chinese BBQ joint,
Sun Wah, where we always get the most succulent skin - on roast pork,
Chinese BBQ, etc...

Pork ain't no good without a healthy dose of fat, otherwise what's the
point...???

One of my friends parents were total pack-rats. The old mad died and
left the widow with an amazing mess. And she was, like you say
"looking for more." She'd spend hours and hours clipping freebie
coupons and making a shopping itinerary. If something could be had
for free she was going to get it even if she new damn well she'd
never use it. She had shelves in the basement filled with her
"treasures." You couldn't hardly walk through the maze of crap there
but the shelves were all perfectly organized and faced just like a
store would have them. Things like 100's of canned soups and boxed
mixes. I remember there was like 10 bottles of glass cleaner and
probably a 100 other miscellaneous cleaning products. Funny thing is
she didn't cook much and the house wasn't all that clean. She just
needed to collect. If a promotional item was given out she'd get in
line 10 times to get her's and then take them home to store them. She
had enough toilet paper to last a family with 4 girls a few years.

The old man was a weekend warrior homeowner and had every tool you can
imagine. He was also a big ham radio buff. When he croaked she would
have no part of getting rid of his stuff, including the 80ft.
telescoping tower sunk in six foot concrete piers in the backyard.
Who knows if all the guns he had stashed were ever found.

There was a 1 1/2 car garage that had just enough room to get her car
in. On the other side there was a 4 car garage packed to the ceiling.
There was a little path though it to a door to the backyard. They had
a 2 story storage shed that was as big as the city code would allow.
Also packed with crap. There were several of the old 6-8 foot
satellite dishes back there. None of which were hooked up to
anything.

When it came time for the old lady to go to assisted living the mess
overwhelmed all involved. The city they lived in had a yearly "take
everything" spring clean-up day. 5 people spent 2 full days dragging
stuff to the curb. They got the area between the sidewalk and the
curb. It was a double corner lot so they had about 1500 sq.ft. of junk
stacked as high as they could stack it. Needless to say one garbage
truck couldn't take it all. Even though they do like a 25 to 1
compaction. From that point on they had to order dumpsters and pay by
the pound. IIRC the weight added up to 18 tons. All carried in piece
by piece of two old nutjobs.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm, you obviously went to a different Penang than I did.

Penang is part of Malaysia, yes, as for being the cleanest place you've
ever seen..... I'd hate to see your house if that's what you call clean!!

And as for throwing you in jail for littering...... you've got your
countries arse about.

Malaysia is dirty, Penang is dirty.

Singapore is clean, and they'll fine you SD$500 for dropping a piece of
litter in the street...... such as a cigarette butt (wish they'd do that
over here!!).

They'll throw you in jail and give you lashes of the Rotan for
graffitiing.

Did you even *go* to Penang?? Or Singapore??

Can you imagine?? I wonder, was one of them a hoarder and the other

Know the owner of a 220 suite block, they had a older woman (who was a resident
for 20 yrs) pass on in the night a few months ago. Because she had no family,
she left everything to the wife of the owner. When they went to clean out the
apartment, they found stuff piled to the ceiling throughout the two bedroom
apartment. They had Value Village, the Salvation Army, and many other
organizations take whatever they'd like. But it still took almost four weeks to
empty the apartment, and another six weeks to clean, repair and repaint it.
Ten weeks to make it habitable again, three months of rent lost and thousands
of dollars to make liveable again.
I actually was in the apartment as they were emptying it, I had no idea that
you could pack so much junk in to an apartment.

Just a few days ago there was a fire locally in a two story home, there was so
much junk in the home that the firefighters couldn't get to the owners in time
to save them. Once the fire got going they couldn't put it out as it seems
there was three tons of newspapers in the house stacked everywhere.

Because they titled the article "How Britian Got The Hots For Curry"
THIS is why they lost the Revolutionary War?!?! Are you able to think

I don't get the impression you've done much traveling at all in your
life. Are you recalling a brief side trip as a young child during your

We know a woman who comes from a family of pack rats. She lives in
another city and comes back here for weekends and stays in her mother's
house. He mother died about 6 years ago and the mother was a collector
of paper.... books, magazines, newspapers, newspaper clippings,
advertising flyers etc. This woman suffers from a bit of depression and
never gets around to doing anything. She was supposed to start clearing
stuff out when she moved in but, not only has she not made any headway
in cleaning out the papers, they have continued to pile up. A few
months ago she had to clear out a path into rooms and through hallways
for the insurance inspector.

Her lawn is covered with stuff. There are two utility trailers and two
old camper trailers in the driveway that have not moved in years. Last
summer a big branch fell off a tree and landed on top of the camper
trailers.Luckily, it also flattened the car that she had just taken off
the road and still had insurance on. There piles of bricks, various
pieces of lawn mis matched lawn furniture, lumber etc, You name it,
there is a sample of it on the lawn.

The house still belongs to the mother's estate and the family is holding
onto it so that she can live there (1-2 days per week). She has hinted
that she would like my wife come over and help her clean it up. She has
a brother in town and three sons. My wife has allergies and would likely
have a bad reaction to the dust and molds. I am not inspired to go to
all that work when the rest of the family won't bother, and I don't
think that I would have the patience for it. So the mess continues to grow.

Why in the world would she expect you to clear it up? Are you a beneficiary
of the will?

What about Singapore, they do not allow anyone to chew gum in their

Probably because she doesn't know many other people around here anymore.

I am certainly not interested in helping. I was equally interested in
helping her (and her family) repair the roof. I would not even recommend
a friend to do the job. I had recommended that she take her car to a
friends' shop for repairs when her battery died. She was upset that the
new battery that he sold her died within a week. She thought he had
shafted her and I agreed to go and talk to the guy. Apparently he had
told her that she needed a new alternator and explained that the reason
the old battery had died was that the alternator was shot and not
charging. She would not have it replaced. As a result, the nice new
battery quickly ran down and died, just as anyone else would have
expected. She won't take her car back to him. I am not about to send her
to any other friends. They don't need the grief.

I bet they inspect their rental property periodically now.

That brought back a memory from where I grew up. There was a
big house where two elderly sisters died in a fire and it was
because of what you say, the house was packed with newspapers.

I didn't realize how common that was.

If she did it in Penang (highly unlikely as it is!!) they wouldn't have
given her a second look.

If she did it in Singapore, that'd be a different story.

I seriously doubt that JillyMac has been to either country, as if she had
done so recently, she'd know the bloody difference (as far as
litter/cleanliness goes) between the two is *HUGE*.

It's one reason why my SO doesn't want to go back to Malaysia, but is
quite happy to go back to Singapore.

Think a bit guilty of both
Hoard spare parts ,equipment, nuts and bolts bits of steel etc
Generator sets windmil bits & so forth
Hammer the clearing sales and auctions (hence so many freezers &
fridges)

Often at Auctions we see PALLETS of tinned food from various
sources
Quick whip around the neighbours ( there is x amount of ABC etc
here at Y $ how many/much do you want? )
Neighbours do the same for us

Often similar auctions /clearing sales are happening at the same time
and a few different folks grab a b road range of food or gear
once every three months the community pools excess
and has an auction and proceeds are split 50/50 into the next
auction combined kitty
and into a banck account for charity and or community benefit (example
sun shades to cover the pool and playground areas
buy new gear for the volunteer ambulance and firefighters etc )

Example on Tuesday pallets of soft drinks in 1.25 litre bottles came
up
(almost time expired)
worked out 3 cents a bottle ! 1440 bottles though :(
So they half went to the salvation Army for their xmas hampers

What nearly made me weep though was on way back we pulled into a mango
farm
and recent weather had badly marked the fruits

So for local currency spoke to one of the truckies who was taking an
near empty semi back
(local currency is "a slab" = carton of beer
So a few slabs later 5 bulker crates of Mangos and the CWA
(Country womans association)
from a community half way back are now busy making Mango chutneys
( We donated the chillis)

These get sold throughout the year at fairs and town stalls etc

The folks that grew the mangos wanted nothing for them as they were
just going to get pulped /dumped
at the local chook sheds (chickens it appears like mango )
So those in the vehicle all chipped in $50.00 ($200)
and bought what we call scratchies Sort of lottery tickets
We received emails saying quiet a few were winners from $2.00 up to
$250.00
The Vietnamese growers have invited us back for a visit next time we
are up that way
Heck its only 2400 KM away :)

Why are we telling you all this ?
Because it saves us money keeps the money churning within the local
communities
where the big food chains $ go who knows and the food is FRESH

But sick of mangos at the moment and only place to eat them is in the
spa :)
SWMBO & I (along with others ) are now sick of mangos
The skins are happily composting away ( makes excellent mulch )
But from what was going to get dumped has helped many facets of a
number of communities .
Also gives the oldies something to do :)

SAY WHAT!!!
Why would you give such blatent incorrect advice ?
If Penang is the cleanest place you have ever seen then I feel very
sorry for you .
Its a sink hole, dirty, locals spitting every where and now full of
Arabs holidaying (with the males wearing next to nothing on the
beaches while the wives look like -*cousin it*- from the Adams Family
all rugged up in Blue or black and brown
Penang Island has some nice spots for sure but no way is it as
pristine as you describe .
Have you ever been there ?

I visit there more than a few times during the year and three weeks
ago on a flying visit to Singapore
we ducked up there for a conferance its still an untidy (if
notalmost a putrid place)
Even the locals have the Irits with the new type of visitors as well
as many of the Mat salehs (us white folks)

On the other Hand Singapore also an Island off Malaysia (albeit
connected by a causeway )
Apart from being hot sticky and humid is damn near an operating
theatre in cleanliness compared to Penang or Langkawi
I will be in those places again in a couple of weeks
would you like me to take comparison photos ? :)

Heck I could eamil you privately so you can later disclose to all and
sundry via this medium
like you did about a deceased person recently .

Penang CLEAN? - I say your either confused or horribly geographicly
challenged or just telling bullshit .

I don't chew gum. Let's see where I've lived and visited, then you can tell
me if I've travelled... CA, NJ, VA, NC, PA, OH, TN, SC... Thailand (2
years). Laos. Maylasia (Penang is absolutely beautiful, BTW), the
Phillipines, Bombay, Tel Aviv. Back on this continent Niagara Falls where I
ate outstanding fish & chips with malt vinegar. No, you're right. I guess
I've never actually been anywhere ;)

it appears Jill does not like others opinions one little bit and
will attempt to step back when faced with the facts

Penang in some parts is lovely
other parts is a cess pool
Bit like many other places really
But to say its the cleanest place she has ever been then she better
get out and away more
before lecturing others

That's what she knows and that's what she remembers. She didn't tour
every nook and cranny. Most people do a hit and run visits. For
instance, my opinion of Egypt is based on Cairo (ugh), but I hear
there is a pristine area where Europeans vacation. If I had been
there, my opinion of Egypt would be different. As it is Egypt (for
me) is BTDT, not in any hurry to return.
