  1. And I'm also cringing at the fact they think something that they've wrecked by having it under stuff and stepped on it etc is so valuable. Like Arthurs crinkled, dirty audiotape.

  2. It's probably leveled to have a drainage with drop so water runs away. If it would be in an area with regular winters with heavy snow one could have a warming cable along it (similar as we attatch in the insulation to waterpipes here in Sweden)

  3. I was thinking the same?

  4. Or the reverse, that she grew up in a completely dysfunctional family and hence not "houstrained" to the degree she doesn't react to the bugs?

  5. Yes, thought the same, beautiful items, tend to "disappear" when there's too many of them.

  6. He would likely have less blemishes in his face if the house was cleaner. Changing pillowcovers and towels often makes a difference, and less dust and dirt around as well.

  7. I would have advised her to keep the vitrine cabinet and replace the broken glass. Large, yes, yet still it's a terrific storage and replacing it with a couple of smaller pieces could have the room feel less spacious.

  8. Such a weird habit! Some hoarders at least seem to have some idea, even if distorted, of all things hoarded being useful or stylish etc.

  9. Ihave such bins for paters and plastic waste that is to go to recycling. It's practical, Ihave two cats that otherwise would be tempted to pull it out from bags, especially packaging that may have som smell of food that's left after rinsing them.

  10.  @deborahtanner354  Though Vince did not have the same behaviour as Hayley, it was the constant negativity from Hayley that became a burden to the others who had it about as tough as her. She became offended if they tried in various ways to get her to cheer up.

  11.  @annie_xo  Yeah, doing anything against her will could actually be viewed as criminal. She does not even seem bothered by her hoard but rather needsto do it to be able to have chemotherapy (a treatment that increases the risk of having infections).

  12.  @bigb853  I don't get why she got so defensive. What is there to be proud of that the house is grossly messy and stink so they can't invite people over? Well, even if they are recluses with no desire for socializing it's still not much to be proud of. Moreover, I couldn' t figure why the parents seemed to think it was cute when the little girl had a talent for creating mess. There's something wrong when a kid has urges to pull out everything from closets and drawers regardless of whether she was to wear it/play with it, they showed a clip where she was tearing out clothes too big for her, i. e. somebody elses clothes, from a closet and just littered the floor with them, not playing or masquerading or anything, wtf?

  13. Agree wholeheartedly. It's beautiful and original.

  14. Oh I felt such sympathy for Tina, surely her parents would not like her putting her life on pause to have things that may be of emotional significance but not having purpose today.

  15. Has he moved and not in the same house any longer?

  16.  @dani8shawn  I suspect it may take a great toll on ligaments with so much weight.

  17.  @awaywiththetheories1833  Only wearing them isn't presumably problematic, but walking long distances, which she normally doesn't maybe cause discomfort. I recall in my teens I was at treatment for drug abuse and we were on a march for a week in the swedish mountains and one of the guys stubbornly thought he could pull it off in jeans. After a couple of hours he was waddling like a wide legged penguin and the following two days he was in his knickers to air his chafing 😂

  18.  @vanessarodriguez9958  Exactly, that is a limitation in socializing abilities due to the child has been allowed to decide something they aren't capable (making an informed decision on what food they like).

  19.  @safepethaven  Lol, he såoke fast and mumbling which is probably because shyness and not the teeth. It may make sense for some to wait until the oxelteeth comes out at 18 - 20 years age because those often tend to push the teeth when they grow anyway.

  20. He is in a documentary though about his face tattoos that he got several years after they got married. If his family is asked if they like them Ithink it's fair they're allowed to state their honest opinion. I think a lot of people would also be uneasy about participating in a tv show that concerns specifically their partners' looks (compared to cope with a difficult illness or something positive as some distinguished talent). So they might not nag about it constantly though, but their opinion was asked for in the documentary.

  21. I think also it is a matter of persistance. For obese people they can often lose quite lot initially over a short time and she also says, several months into her new regimen, that she realize it's not a diet but another lifestyle choices. I guess that is an insight one may have to work some time to internalize with your mindset on a deeper level.

  22. Same with the thought of cooking creating a mess. While it's nice being able to show a well kept home, it's not going to get respect of others if you have a child in it that suffers of anemia, rotten teeth, rickitis and scurvy.
    2
  23. ​ @llddau  Same with the kid having some disorder. I saw an episode of "freaky eaters" and there was a older teenager who just eat Yorkshirepudding. He had autism and the consultant pointed out that children on that spectrum could be incredible stubborn and picky about their food

  24.  @Ethan-zq5ry  That sounds little, unless you're small built. Try having three or four pints of water.

  25. No, it's a dresser when there's a mirror attached to the storage drawer/table.

  26. A lot of animals drive away the previous years cubs, claves etc. from the herd.

  27. Some part of the weight problems are perhaps because the cortisol of stress, which can slow metabolism?

  28. I thought the same, it's an anomaly to clutter up the house with Buddha figures of all things collectible.

  29.  @lushpapaya9932  She seemed to use her kids as an excuse to eating unhealthy, not excercising and being isolated. And then she was bullied in school, which presumably most in the group have been. But I found her pretty unlikeable for going on how she's been sitting home, not eating well and no excercise because she has two kids.

  30. Charity shops and as Esther said, things collected for free. When me and my sister cleared out our mom's apartment after she had passed we put thingsjust outside on the side of the entrance a day before we hired a trailer to drive to charity shop and junkyard. It was considerably less to ship away because people picked up as well as householditems and furniture.

  31. I was thinking he may have moved partly because the old house was too big and maybe filled with too much memories?

  32. They could probably get some at Ebay for instance though they seem to be much of a procastrinating personalities.

  33. Though going out in the tiger suit surely brightened some other peoples' day.

  34. ​​ @StKissa Though depression seem to go hand on hand with the obesity epidemic. And there seem to be a correlation with depressive disorder and a consumption that is high in processed carbs. I recall one article pointing out fried potatoes (french fries), so the problem can be partly the high processed vegetable oils that are difficult for us to metabolise.

  35. ​​​ @nattie911 Yeah, if you punch in excessive calories you will have a high chance of becoming obese. That notion of people wrecking their metabolism by calorie restriction is something of an exaggeration and delusion. What may have some impact is likely different gut bacteria. People seem to have different bloodsugar spikes to the same type of food. But extreme diets doesn't really do much of a change in the metabolic rate. What happens is that when going off the diet they often don't make sufficient lifestyle change. Reasonably people would have yo-yoed for several hundred of years. They feasted on their main foods in midwinter to consume it before it became rancid and inedible, then they started to eat more grain while physical activities were less during the darker and cold winter period. I think the statistic in USA today have a higher rate of obesity related deaths that are way higher than alcoholism and narcotics together. But yes, I have seen that suggestion by some dieticians even, that attempts of restriction could be causing dangerous trauma somehow (and some are subsided by fast food companies).

  36. Though activating muscles improves metabolism.

  37. Yes, occasionally you ser people on the show who have things stuffedonto boxes even if stacked to the roof andnot really seriously dirty even if dusty though there is high risk of mold problems when a room is overstuffed so ventilation doesn't work as intended. The previous hoard of Nigel's was somewhat organised in boxes but the cats had used the boxes with neatly packed collectible items as litterboxes.

  38. Though she didn't store them to be viewed, it was in bags stacked here and there, as if trash. There's the difference between hoarding versus collecting or saving.

  39. Yes, she seems nice now, butshe's seriously ill. We don't know if the sons tried to help her clean out thingsmany times before and been rejected.

  40.  @FacelessJanus  I would guesstimate that they can chose which charity they donate to. Traditionally in Sweden for instance a lot of chairities have their fundings partially trough second hand shops, be it The Red Cross, some of the churches or animal shelters. It's quite popular to shop in them, not only for youngsters just moved to their first housing but also for people looking for vintage stuff from a specific time period.
    1
  41. Agree.
    1
  42.  @beckypetersen2680  Yes, esp. if they have the patience and time for it. They often go to adealer who needs to factor in his/her own share of the potential pricethat can be asked of a customer. If the lady in the shop offered 30 for both brooches then she naturally expected to get 40 - 60 for them.

  43. And for god's sake say NO when people want to give clothes and furniture you suspect are not to being used or have the space for.
    1
  44.  @LittleRedToyota  Yes, I reflected on that. He has a lot of junk around the floors, as if he just drop things where he happens to stand, but not piles of furniture, stuffed shelves. It looks as if he's moving out of the place, removed most furniture and left the junk that is to be showed into bins before the "move clean"?

  45. I wonder if it could be because they startwith the mental project some time before?

  46. Do you really believe the crew planted 'roaches and flies in their house? I believe it is real, there' s something weird about the mom in the family, it's something agressive about her carelessness and constant smiling.

  47. That is with proper antiques maybe (i. e. items 100yrs or older). But a kitchen cupboard should also be fairly easy to keep clean and chipped or flaking paint or laquer is somewhat beyond shabby chic I'd say.

  48. ited healways wanted to stay in the guesthouse and he didn't like if it was too much stuff in there).

  49. Idk, he seem like a quite sympathetic but he spent a fair deal of money to distance himself from the society he have/want to live in, and that while tigers are on the brink of becoming exctinct. More King trait would have been to put those money to charities that protects his soulanimals in various ways.

  50. I think so as well, that there are ofter underlying coping issues that cause them to overeat, or having an distorted way of putting themselves down, like the kid who seemed to have decided on a negative expectation of himself, that he can't do this or that.
