Hoarding Buried Alive is easier to watch than M$Greedia

[malaise]

cheering on bombs.

WTF is wrong with these hacks?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. It's the age-old rule of media: "If it bleeds, it leads."

Anything that blows up or causes mayhem is interesting and will be the top story. Nothing new about this.

16. Bingo

More eyeballs on the newscasts equals more $$$ for the republican corps that control all the news that is seen in this country.

And hell their kids and their friends kids will not be affected by any war only the poor kids caught up in the economic draft will pay the price.

So damn the torpedoes and let slip the dogs of war says the MSM!

[tavernier]

2. Or reading a good audio book on earphones

while taking a walk next to the ocean.

3. I've been taking the chihuahua on ten mile hikes

Lots of music, lots of podcasts, lots of audiobooks. I read the news multiple times a day, because I've been an addict since 9/11, but the only way to improve cable news is to drive a stake through its black heart. I do kind of miss Maddox, though (but she's got funny tweets!).

Also: the chihuahua is not nearly as impressed with Hoover Dam as I am, but he likes the railroad tunnels very much,

[malaise]

4. LOL

I've been cleaning a wardrobe - the TV is on Hoarding :Chuckle:

[Nevernose]

6. That's my go-to show for cleaning

I'm a hoarder, my mom is. Genetic and definitely part of my craziness. We don't need dumpsters or a TV crew, but occasionally a couple of episodes of Hoarders results in us having a very clean office (or kitchen or garage or whatever).

[Retrograde]

7. I don't even have to watch it

Just mentioning Hoarders makes me want to clean out a closet or make a pass through the garage. Now I'm off to tackle the bookshelves: do I really need a 30-year old listing of French hotels? (My husband, who works for the local Friend of the Library, says old travel guides mostly get tossed into the mixed-paper recycling bin, but at least there they're potentially doing more good than collecting dust.)

[malaise]

13. I'm the opposite

I go through everything several times a year and give away stuff or throw it out.

That said I did start cleaning the wardrobe while watching Hoarding this morning

[HipChick]

5. I'm doing a batch of Fry Fish for Easter

[malaise]

10. Had some this morning

Enjoy!

[MoonRiver]

8. I love that show!

One of my other favs is "My 600 Pound Life!"

[malaise]

11. I can't fathom how people accumulate so much rubbish

I'm the opposite - I like to downsize

[MoonRiver]

14. Me too. Throwing things away is so liberating!

[malaise]

15. Yep

I like not being attached to most things.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. "Hoarders" makes me feel like less of a slob.

I don't hoard stuff - It doesn't bother me to throw stuff away - but I am untidy and disorganized. "Hoarders" makes me want to clean up while also making me feel better about my untidiness.

[MoonRiver]

22. If you walk around in my house everything looks tidy.

But if you open some drawers or closets, watch out!

9. I said to hell with it and went outdoors and started my garden today.

Earlier than usual, but I can't stand lettuce from the grocery store one minute longer than I have to. (As for "Hoarding," I switch over to that every so often as motivation to clean the house. LOL.)

[malaise]

12. That's the best

Nothing like fresh lettuce.
Seriously when I switched to Hoarding, I started cleaning the wardrobe

[Retrograde]

17. Until all the lettuce comes in at once!

we've had a very cool, wet year here in northern California (it rained yeaterday, unusual this late in the season) and the greens are going crazy. Anybody got any recipes fot lettuce soup - or anything else using lettuce besides salads?

[malaise]

19. The key is to transplant in stages

Salads or rabbit feed

[Retrograde]

20. In my climate lettuce

and other greens are winter crops: the dry heat we get the rest of the year makes them bitter - if they haven't bolted already. I didn't overplant, but they just got enormous. And rabbits are not a solution: we don't have wild ones here. And while the racoons will eat cabbages they do not seem interested in other greens - and there's enough wild greens this year that they don't have to resort to raiding gardens.

[malaise]

21. Well then

give it away or put them in your compost pile.
