My childhood home reeked of animal feces because no one cleaned the cat box and my mom had 2 snakes and bred feeder mice in addition to the cats all of which poop and pee. I can tell you stories of moldy refrigerators and hairballs the size of golf balls littered in the shower. Moldy half-filled cups of coffee. And then there's the paper. Stacks upon stacks upon stacks of papers, bills, envelopes, memos, lists, coupons...

Zach's best friend's house is like that. They're really nice people, and both people work outside the home so there's just not much time for housekeeping, and they seem to keep *everything*. I keep a lot, but I don't have nearly the amount of stuff they do (of course, they're older and have had more time to collect it). I do feel a little bit better about my own house -- like at least it's not as bad as it *could* be.
