10 hours of searching. holy moly.
quote:Shelton Police Chief Terry Davenport said the home was so cluttered that police officers' heads touched the ceiling as they climbed over the clutter.

That is sad really. This is actually one of the reasons why my ex-wife and I broke up. She simply refused to throw away things that were usless junk.

And I thought my wife was a pack rat. The policemans heads were actually touching the celing? Not to sound mean but why did he not pick anything up and thow it away before it got to that point assumeing he was liveing there. My wife has a similar problem about not being able to throw things away. I am the main cleaner at our house. If I were to keel over today I gaurentee our house would be a mess within two weeks.
Ever notice how we always fall in love? We never climb gently in to love, or step lightly in to love. If love is such a good thing than why is it described as a fall. Posts: 918 | From: La Salle Illinois USA | Registered: Sep 2003
