Freakin' neatniks.

I'm sure if anyone saw my place they'd vomit. After all, I am my mother's child. Even as an empty nesters, my parents, with four empty bedrooms, had two large storage units. It's only recently that they have been able to park a car (one not two, mind you) in the garage.

Similarly, I have entire rooms stuffed full of excess computer and electronics junk. I even have a "TV corner" in my living room where my excess TVs gather dust, in the off chance that I want to watch several sporting events at once. (some people just go to a sports bar)

Nice piece. Did you clean before the pics, because it doesnt look too messy. Usually having a GF on site helps keep your place from falling into squalor as well, since women have a lower tolerance for all out chaos.

@Curves: tell that to my wife who has spent the past 2 months watching her, our child's and (unfortunately even) my laundry piling up as I've unsuccessfully tried catching up by doing 2 loads a week. Finally I snapped and have been ducking out of work for the past 72 hours keeping our laundry machines running nonstop. I quit counting after 15 loads - and these are super-high capacity appliances. God I can't believe how many clothes my small little family has.

@Fierock: The last time I did laundry, I did about 15 loads... just for me.

At one point, I had gotten into the habit of buying new socks, shirts, underwear, etc. instead of washing them, so I've amassed quite the collection.

@soggy_cheerio: well, I've been continuing through since yesterday and got another 10 loads or so done. I must admit, probably about two entire loads were just my own stuff, another couple loads for linens, many were baby clothes (which are small and represent vast numbers or separate garments) but the majority were my wife's - like you, she just buys more when everything is dirty, so now there is a walk-in closet and two large dressers bursting at the seems and another 4 baskets of clean/folded stuff I have nowhere to put. My point is women are slobs. And they are incapable of not spending every last dime.

@Curves: That was the exact response I was expecting to elicit from you, I'm just surprised you still happened to be reading this thread :)

anyways, until I see it first hand I'll continue to be convinced all women are actually much messier than men.

@Fierock: Someone who works cleaning a public place once told me that the ladies room is 10X worse than the mens room to clean. He also says women* are slobs. *Some women.

I almost always check back on the threads I post to at least once or twice.

@Curves: well that brings up another observation that I wasn't planning to discuss - have you used an outhouse at a public campground that designates separate outhouses for men and women? If so, have you ever noticed how much worse it stinks around the ladies one? It must be due to feminine cyclical issues or something (not that it has anything to due with how messy *some*/*most* women are)

@Fierock: OMG, no, I have not noticed that, but I dont spend a lot of time sniffing outhouses. The only plausible explanation I can come up with is that especially outdoors (camping, etc) women actually use the facilities while men pee on trees.
