I Discovered I Am A Cyberspace Hoarder!!!!!

This evening my daughter, Suzanne, came to visit me in my room. We were searching YouTube because we love Prince Poppycock on America's Got Talent. He has an amazing voice!!! Our search was taking FOREVER because, as Suzanne informed me....I have way too much "stuff" on my computer........The bad news is, I had more "stuff" than Suzanne even imagined......



I had been "found out"!!! I had a black hole of  "stuff" on my computer.........recipes, school papers, down loads for research projects, pictures of wedding dresses, articles about every sort of thing you can imagine. These are just a few of the articles I had saved: "Five Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires, Dangers and Risks of Scientology, Building a Soda Volcano, Calculate the Center of Gravity, Bookworms, Love them as I Love Them.......and the most bizarre article ever...
Anarchism and The History of the Black Flag".



I think I researched the Black Flag as my son, Taylor, was writing a paper on Santa Anna and the "no surrender" flag he flew over the Alamo.

We had been deleting, storing, and organizing for about two hours when, my computer came to an abrupt halt.......My recycle bin was full!! That's right, I had deleted so much "stuff", my recycle bin could not hold any more.......

I was a bit surprised about my reaction. I had seen a couple of television segments about hoarders......This was all I could think of as Suzanne found page after page of homework assignments and random articles that I just had to "SAVE"!!
We actually went through each one. She asked me...."Mom, do you want to delete or move this to another file"?  Delete or Save??? Delete or Save???? Over and Over Again!!!


Some of the articles I had to really think about!! I mean I really might need that article discussing how to become a Fruitarian!!!! It is something I think about.....and often!!

As I was about to have a total anxiety attack, this handsome young man came over for a visit!! Thank you, Andrew, for saving me from the Delete......Save Mania I was in!!!


Suzanne and Andrew left to find some food.....


Suzanne and I will just have to continue our Computer Cleaning another day!!
Thank you, Andrew!!
