Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Relaxing at the cabin

I watched snippet of a couple of shows. I would say it has elements of both. I may be showing my age - but I care nothing for any of the reality shows - any. My kids like to watch - but I generally leave the room or otherwise occupy myself.

I only watched the first episode. It was about an elderly woman, her husband and about 6 daughters, and a house that held about 22 tons of junk. The denial in the elderly woman that had the hoarding problem was very evident. She would not take any responsibility and blamed her hoarding problem on everyone else, including possible intruders that scattered her stuff, looking for treasure. There was a lot of emotionality and finger pointing between her and her daughters. But the mother was the one who would get angry and violent when someone tried to clean the house. The husband had adbandoned the wife about 13 months prior, but had showed up for the camera and clean-up crew. She wanted him to stay, but he apparently already had enough.

So, it showed the mentally ill problem in this stage of their lives. There was sensationalism also, in viewing their problems, the mess and the clean-up efforts.

Edit: One word about her husband. He was the kind of wishy-washy person that had no back-bone.

Speaking of beautiful cottages. Here's some pictures of a $2.1 million dollar cottage in Bancroft that I rented for my best friends bachelor party (I meant to post them a while ago). It has it's own lake, and is secluded to say the least.

Here's the website (it's for sale if you have the cash ) along with some pictures we took - Slideshow (hope it works) .

I have 50 tabs worth of them, which I read daily.

The stripper in slide 4 of 13 seems pretty flat-chested.

Has a funny hair dress on too...

HEHE. That was solid wood, weighed a ton and was probably worth a bit of coin, Later on in the evening the guys took turns sitting atop of it; it was solid as a tree.

Back at the cabin, enjoying the 4th!

I feel relaxed just seeing those pics
