sure we've had our share of rock soup and squirrel tails

I am admittedly a hoarder. But I think that some of the things that I obsessively hoard are things that I could never find around my house growing up. With six 'helpers' cleaning, lots of things get misplaced. For the purpose of this post, I have narrowed my hoarding items to just three: tweezers, towels and blankets. I have at least 5 pairs of tweezers strategically placed around my house (there is nothing worse than realizing you need to pluck your eyebrows and being without the means to do so) I have PILES of towels (those were hard to keep around because most of us needed two a day, one for swim, and one for home) and I have more blankets folded in a basket in my living room than I could ever need. So, just in case you wanted to know that. Do any of you people hoard specific things?

Hummm... I'm not a big hoarder. My mom is so it's made me the opposite.

But Scott is- he hoards Magic Cards (maybe that's called collecting but I call it HORDING) & old computer parts, old t-shirts he never wears.

I could be accused of hoarding cake plates and bobbypins.

well i would have to say that i am an accomplished hoarder of shoes, up until about a year ago i had a pair of shoes from middle school believe it or not! I have like 50 pairs, and I wear about 10 pair regularly, the rest sit in the closet waiting patiently to be loved by their owner. And yoga pants, I don't know why but i love my yoga pants (plural).

I definatley hoard bobbypins, a typical dancer, you learn to use and love bobby pins when you are REQUIRED to have at least 25 every friday night football game, i used to keep them in a tooth pick holder, then I was at walmart and saw a sewing pin magnet thing, and had an AHHAA moment and now my pins are on a magnet thing!!

I also have and wear like a million cotton black tshirts that are from random things that I've been in or bought a shirt for.
