Thursday, December 27 11:30pm Dirty Work: A fascinating look inside the lives of hoarders. For these people compulsive collecting is an illness that can sometimes puts them, their families and their neighbors at risk. Imagine a home piled floor to ceiling with newspapers. Or millions of toothpicks. Christmas decorations covering everything from the walls to the couch. Or pile after pile, room after room of garbage -- and the animal and insect infestations that inevitably follow. That's where Cory and Tammy come in -- a dynamic husband and wife team of professional cleaners who go inside the homes of hoarders to clean up the clutter. In this special we'll meet a woman who must confront the shocking mess left after the death of her sister and her sister's pets inside a townhouse. And we'll meet Disco Bonnie, a former party girl desperately searching for tax records buried somewhere in the hundreds of boxes that have taken over her apartment and her life. Source

Gen. Health Hazards: About Cleaning out-from a professional organizer

Organizing Can Be Hazardous To Your Health
7/22/2007

The photo below is from the garage.  I love the irony of the "Shopping is Fun" bag down there in the left corner. Some people look at this and think, "what a mess."  I look at it and think, "what a tremendous amount of buried emotional pain."
