Four months???

Okay, this one wins hands down for most macabre story of the day.

Another reason to digitize all your stuff. Aside from Tron-like accidents, you're unlikely to be physically buried in data.

Hey, I just did that! I bought a "5-cup digital coffee maker!"

Funny, it takes up just as much space as the old analog one.

Jeeze. That's awful. And while my stuff seems like an overwhelming load when I contemplate moving it, it's a little reassuring to know that it's nowhere near that level of madness.

Oh dear.

Unfortunately, the description of the house in this story fits Jeff and Carrie's place.

Oh dear, indeed. Surely not QUITE that bad? I mean, if one of the family members went missing could you imagine it taking 4 months to find them? While actually living in the same house?

It's not quite that bad, however if one of the cats went missing....

And it's a Feline Luekemia factory.

Ew.

And especially ew on how they're framing the woman as the hoarder; the husband just lived there, I suppose, and had nothing to do with it and no responsibility for or towards either her or the mess.

There was a similar incident in Des Moines several years ago. It took several weeks to notice the absence of the family member and find the body. I helped clean out the house. It was... unpleasant.
