I was watching that show Hoarders the other day and WOW. The condition of those people homes where disgusting. I could not take it.
It got me thinking of a blog I posted on my website titled “Obsessed, Passionate or Addicted???” . Did I leave one out are we Hoarders? Not in the same sense as theses people who hold on to every little piece of whatever or just throw garbage anywhere.
Hoarder: a person who accumulates things and hides them away for future use. This definition as a noun I feel does not pertain to what we do. But as a verb I feel it does pertain to us Hoard•ed, Hoard•ing: To gather or accumulate a hoard.
1. To accumulate a hoard of.
2. To keep hidden or private.
We as reptile collectors do accumulate a hoard of many animals. Some people collect one species while others have a wide variety.
This was just something I was thinking about and decided to share it. So the question is, Do you consider yourself a Hoarder?
