<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kountryken, post: 8221983, member: 89798&quot;]I disagree with you sir, with the utmost respect and friendship! I don&#039;t, for even a second, think you are a hoarder. From what little I&#039;ve seen about hoarders (and, I confess, that&#039;s very little), a &quot;true hoarder&quot; won&#039;t get rid of anything, for any reason. From my reading your posts, from the few &quot;conversations&quot; we&#039;ve shared with each other, you don&#039;t fit that description, not even &quot;borderline&quot;! Do you find some amazing things in your dealings with others, yes. Do you add some of them to your &quot;collections&quot;, again, yes. But, I&#039;ve seen your kindness to others, and your generosity, and that just doesn&#039;t fit with my understanding of what a hoarder is? Maybe I&#039;m wrong in my definition, but I don&#039;t think so. I&#039;ve accumulated lots of &quot;stuff&quot; through my years on this earth. If I see any &quot;value&quot; to it, I won&#039;t throw it away. But, I will give it away, if someone has a need. I saved a bed frame in case I needed a piece of angle iron. I found out a lady was sleeping on a mattress on the floor. I got the old bed frame, cleaned and painted it, and gave it to her. A friend asked me if I had some barbed wire. I had a piece of a roll that I&#039;ve had for over 30 years, and gave it to him. So, my friend, I don&#039;t see us as &quot;hoarders&quot;! I&#039;m the &quot;keeper of the stuff&quot;, until myself or someone else needs it. No, I&#039;m not perfect, sometimes I have to stop and have a &quot;shop and backyard cleaning&quot;, but I like &quot;repurposing&quot; and sharing. This Hoosier Cabinet was set out for trash pick up. It was in several pieces. My wife decided that it would make a great coffee cabinet. We were remodeling the kitchen, so we actually designed the space around it, so it fit in, lol. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1444267[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
