Re: Nada Keeping Every Piece of Mail, Magazine, etc.

[Guest guest]

My nada keeps all mail, too. There are piles of paper all over the

house, on every horizontal space. She won't throw out newspapers,

advertisements, cards. There are old Xmas cards all over the house.

She won't throw away the envelopes, claiming she needs them for

addresses. She has several address books. A few years ago, I

offered to go thru and compile all the info into a new address book,

and she refused and became angry.

out old magazines because she claimed to not have read them yet and

would not cancel subscriptions when it was obvious she couldn't keep

up with it. And her attitude about saving cards (which we didn't

think about since it was all we knew) was as if such behavior was

expected.
