Yes my son has long black hair.

The hardest part to keep the clutter out is the kitchen. We eat a lot of pizza and it seems most of our foods come in containers that take up space so if we miss a trash pick up for a week or two the kitchen can really get out of hand. We've found it works best if we team clean the kitchen together.

I wish they would do follow up shows. It would be interesting. I continued seeing the T for a year after and that helped with the motivation to clear the clutter.

The T that they hired had been a therapist for a long time but he had never worked with a hoarder so when they asked him to do the show he asked TLC if they could refer him to another T who had experience with hoarding so he could do a better job. He talked to that T by phone before he even met me. Unlike the organizer who had never worked with a hoarder but didn't feel that she needed to learn anything from anyone else's experience because she knows everything already.

I'm a star? Like the Titanic maybe. Oh my, I don't think I want that to be my fifteen minutes of fame. I hear I am on Netflix now. TLC sent me a DVD and I watched it once and that's enough.
