Do you 'hoard' anything?

I am sure - since many of you are knitters - hoard yarn to a certain extent right? =) Do you hoard anything else? Is it obvious what you DO hoard, or is it all tucked away somewhere and out of peoples' site for the most part?

I looked up the definition of hoarding by the way - yeah, cuz I am a nerd like that lol There are 2 types of hoarding - regular hoarding is characterized kinda like a squirrel gathering nuts for the winter (where you might perceive outages of the item in the near future). The other is called compulsive hoarding - where there stuff acquired by the person is not necessary. Wiki describes the latter as items that are worthless, hazardous or unsanitary lol

Honestly tho, in the instance of yarn, is it really considered a worthless item if you will use it sooner or later? =) Any craftey thing *could* be considered useful at SOME point.

Anywhooo......I digress.... lol

What do you all 'hoard'? Do you think you are a compulsive hoarder?

I know a guy who hoards a certain kind of car and car parts. He can probably build several cars with all the parts he has hoarded. He has been out of control for a very long time :o)
