I would like feedback on how to tell my boyfriend about my father's hoarding problem. He keeps asking when I'll introduce him to my parents, who live 6 hours away. I can barely tolerate the mess and I dread bringing someone to it. Any advice is appreciated!

"What's the secret to success?" I asked. "Two words", he said. "Right Decisions." "How do you make right decisions?" "One word," he said. "Experience." "And how do you get experience?" "Two words," he answered. "Wrong decisions."

Of the exhibition's 28 photographs, most priced between $1,000 and $1,800, six depict workers somewhat dramatically uniformed in gloves
and respirators (and, of course, t-shirts that say "Disaster Masters Crisis Management: 1-800-THE-PLAN" ). They haul threadbare bedding,
broken lamps, dead plants and boxes and bags of random detritus out of apartments that appear uniformly mired in filth and neglect. ...

Anthropomorphism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics and qualities to non-human beings, objects, natural, or supernatural phenomena. A form of personification (applying human or animal qualities to inanimate objects), anthropomorphism is similar to prosopopoeia (adopting the persona of another person). Animals, the forces of nature, and unseen or unknown authors of chance are frequent subjects of anthropomorphosis.
The term comes from two Greek words, άνθρωπος (anthrōpos), meaning "human", and μορφή (morphē), meaning "shape" or "form." The suffix '-ism' originates from the morpheme '-isma' in the Greek language.

Hoarders' items in display
ANYONE who has ever tried to clear a house will know how many things we collect over the course of a lifetime. Now a new exhibition at the University of Northampton's Avenue Gallery will celebrate the quirky and treasured 'stuff' that fills our lives – and the organisers are looking for local people to share their hoarding stories.
Wendy Osgerby, senior lecturer in art history at the university, would like to hear from anyone who has a story to tell about the things they surround themselves with. Or maybe you live with a compulsive hoarder. Does their collecting habit drive you mad?
Wendy explained: "In this exhibition we are more interested in the kind of quirky or everyday things that we all accumulate over the years, and that we value for sentimental or personal reasons."
Collections on show will range from historic posters from the university's own collection – donated by stage designer Thomas Osborne Robinson to inspire students of art and design – to much-loved children's toys, Spitfire memorabilia, cocktail stirrers, and even kitchen and sewing implements.
Write with your own private collecting obsessions, copies of photographs, or reminiscences of other collectors to Wendy Osgerby at the University of Northampton, St. George's Avenue, Northampton NN2 6JD. The letters may be displayed for the duration of the exhibition and will then form part of an archive.
Stuff: Collections and Accumulations will be at the Avenue Gallery in the School of the Arts in St George's Avenue, Northampton, from today to October 12, opening Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm. Admission is free. For more information call Northampton 893046.

Please take our New Survey on the left side of the page...does the Hoarder in your life SEE the piles and their loss of functional living space or do they not even realize they are there? (Could Hoarding be similar to Body Dismorphic Disorder where they don't even SEE?)
