I’m already dreading going through my dad’s stuff after he dies and I’m only in college. He is such a packrat.

We subscribe to the Washington Post and our local paper and I don’t think it’s really clutter as long as you read it that day and then put it in recycling. However, my dad doesn’t have time to read the paper on a daily basis so he insists on keeping certain sections of the paper until he can go through them and cut out articles that might one day be useful in his class (poli sci prof). Now that is clutter, especially because he probably can’t find any specific article in all the boxes.

The Towel-matic is one of the funniest things I have seen in a LONG time. The video was priceless.
