Oh gosh. My grandma has four storage buildings in our backyard filled to the brim with stuff she 'might need someday' and all that jazz.

[NikkoGallarado]

My Evil Ed's bothers crap is still here cause he said he would "need it all" some day soon.

[femme gauche]

My grandmothers have both passed on, but neither of them were major packrats. I mean, they had their quirks, but didn't have big piles of thigns they were keeping or anything.

[Reyoki]

The thing about my grandma's stuff is... it's not even her stuff. It's stuff my aunts and uncles left behind when they all moved out and started their own lives.

[NikkoGallarado]

So she is holding on to the past. How interesting.

[Reyoki]

Yeah, and she keeps shoving the present into my room whenever I clean.

[Lioshika]

Reyoki; I know the feeling. My mom stopped cleaning because my grandma would then bring something up to fill whatever we cleaned. But now that she can't walk really, meaning she can't come up here much, mom says we will be cleaning all her shit out of the house so she can make room for our stuff. XD

[NikkoGallarado]

Always good and lovely know that you will have some room. Really Reyo? Both my grandmothers passed already. . . .so I don't worry about I just worrk about Evil Ed's mother and his bother crap.

[Lioshika]

._. I wish my grandma wouldn't keep every little thing.

[NikkoGallarado]

It's a away for them to not forget about the past really to most people.

[femme gauche]

Well, if they left it behind then I think it's understandable to want to keep it, even if it isn't necessary.

[Lioshika]

But my grandma doesn't keep just stuff like that. She reuses tissues. She keeps every envelope in case she needs something to write on. Even aluminum she will reuse five billion times; even when it is clearly time to throw it out. Those one time use pans for turkeys, she has been washing and reusing the same one for years now.

[femme gauche]

That... that stuff actually sounds quite environmentally concscious as long as you don't continue to BUY new ones. (or as long as she doesn't at least). Growing up in a depression will do that.

[Lioshika]

Yeah. It's just disgusting because the use once ones, are really hard to clean and I've found food from the year before still in the little nook and crannies.

[NikkoGallarado]

That. . .sound unyummy and not good.

[Lioshika]

Yeah. . . Hence why I said it's bad that she reuses these.
They're not meant to be and thus are very difficult to clean.
