Tell us your story. In this video I was in a desperate search for my lost  lost lost Moon Monster.

EEEEK!!! I FOUND IT!!!

[Count_Zirock]

That's nothing! There's a closet in my bedroom I haven't been able to get to in three years. The mountain of stuff between it and me is only 4 feet deep, but almost five feet tall. It's all balanced so precariously, I keep waiting for a passing truck to go by just a little too fast and, "TIMBER!"

I try not to think about the hundreds of brown recluse spiders possibly nesting in there, either.

I dig the KISS Destroyer poster. NO comment on video. Lol.

After watching Eddie's video and reading Count_Zirock's post, I feel a whole lot better about myself! Not that they hoard any worse than I do, just good to see that I am not alone.

I can so identify.  Just recently moved and I get one extra room to help organize.  I am going through boxes and finding stuff I forgot I had.  I'm even going through boxes and finding I have two of something because I forgot I bought it the first time.  I'm finding stuff and wondering why did I get that?

Yea, that's like my wife. She comes at me from a different angle......."If we weren't here anymore (in-other-words dead) who would know what to do with all this stuff!?"  She thinks the basement is full....period. If I buy anything I literally have to sneak it into the basement. I try this argument on her......" If I find an item for sale at an estate sale or auction for $10, and I KNOW it is worth $500, how can I pass that up?".  That logic doen't work. She replies, " No one item should come in unless 2 items leave". What's with that? I've been at this collecting thing so long that I don't drag home anything that couldn't be sold for a big-time profit. And we HAVE sold plenty on E-bay already. Good thing I'm 6'7" tall and she is 5'6" tall......but she still is scary at times.  Buddy

I had a similar argument with my wife about 10 years ago. As it turned out, she left and took her stuff with her...then I had plenty of room...but I've been here 10 years and I just keep accumulating stuff until now I'm going to have to downsize or get a bigger place.

S.P.

Women can be so full of contradictions...last December I pointed out something I would like for Christmas.......the wife replied, "Well, you better buy if for yourself cause I won't". I asked what she meant. Her statement, "You shouldn't get what you want for Christmas".  Both my daughter and I were stunned.......we had no reply to that. Guess that clears up why I seldom get anything for Christmas that I really enjoy. But still, the season is great!    Buddy

Well, I have to hand it to my wife- she puts up with me and my eccentricities beyond the call, and for what she lacks in taste (as far as old horror movies go), she makes up for in looks. Fair trade, I think. (Love ya, honey...)

[Scary Terry]

Bud -- does your wife know mine?  Every Christmas and birthday she asks what I want -- and I tell her every time that I have an amazon.com wish list as long as my arm -- ANY item from that would make me happy.  Has she ever bought me anything from that list?  Nope.  Has to be something practical. 

Snore....!

She's a wonderful woman, and I love her to pieces -- but she doesn't "get" my collecting thing.

[Scatter]

My wife is actually WORSE than I am with collecting. Loves horror/Hollywood as much as I do. I'm in LOVE. 

[charp13]

Go Nancy! Go Nancy! Yay!!  Scatter, your wife is an awesome lady!  I sooooo wish we lived near each other! I love her decorating sense and her super-fun attitude!   
I guess I qualify as a wife- dealio! I love my horror/monster/Disney stuff and I try to keep everything semi-organized.  I've been married for nearly 32 years, and thankfully my husband has never been hit on the head by falling collectibles from the top of a closet!  But I have.........

[bigbud]

Carp13! Are you on the other side of the fence? A woman whose husband isn't into, but tolerates your taste in movies/collecting? Or is he right in there with you on it all?

     Here's a true Wife Horror Tale!........I never let the wife forget this comment she made about 2 years ago......"I don't care if I ever watch another movie.....ever!" .......unforgivable!    Buddy

Sorry man, but your wife is wrong.  If it's related to either monsters or superheroes, it is NOT hording.  It's then PRICELESS WORKS OF ART.
