With this talk of hoarding, makes me think of my grandmother. She wasn't a hoarder really, but grew up during the depression and unlike our throw away society of today, they had to save and reuse everything just to get by. She saved egg cartons, bread wrappers, pieces of used aluminum foil, etc. When you have so little, what little you have has to go as far as it can...My grandfather got a job for the DPW and earned $.50 a day working roadsides!...and there was a line of fellows that would take the job if they could get it.
