Survey #201 Response from Squirtle
| Pronouns | They/them |

| Describe an experience in which clutter—yours or someone else’s—had a negative impact on a relationship. The relationship in question may be one of yours or someone else’s that you’ve observed. | My aunt and uncle’s house growing up had towers of stacked and loose piles of laundry on it so we often sat on the floor instead. They joked it was their laundry station. When I went to stay at my friend’s house, we cleared a section of her room to put down a bed on the floor for me to sleep on. When we cleared the clothes and items from the floor, live insects were crawling in the carpet. We vacuumed up the insects… it gives me the oobie joobies thinking about it! |
| Describe an item that evokes a strong association or memories of a person you love, whether that person is still living or gone. This may be something you still own, something you’ve let go, or just an object of which you have a vivid memory. | I have a necklace that was my great great grandmother’s. I think it’s from the 1900-1920s time period, Edwardian/Art Deco decorative filigree with a larger gem. I’m told it’s “costume jewelry” and has no value when I took it to a jewelers asking for help repairing it, but to me it’s sentimental and I remember liking it seeing it in my grandmother’s jewelry collection growing up. The jeweler wouldn’t help repair it since it “had no value”. 😑 100+ year old costume jewelry looks very bougie and cool! |
| How might reducing your clutter or making your home more organized affect your most important relationships, for better or for worse? If you live alone and/or don’t feel that your stuff affects any of your relationships, you may answer this question instead: How might reducing your clutter or making your home more organized affect your health, happiness, wellbeing, attitude, or mood? | Less tripping on items! More room space and less “storage” of items along the walls. |
| Choose the option that best describes your feelings about Valentine’s Day: | It’s a magical day for me to acknowledge the love I feel for my special someone. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). | Beading: how did you learn how to bead? Did other people in your family or friend group bead? Best resources on how to learn how to bead? |
| Future topics | Best organizing products Best kinds of repurposed boxes to use for organizing — like do you prefer the cereal box for certain things or the pasta box. So far I found the Cheerios family sized cereal box works well to organize marinara jars. I wasn’t sure if you had any pointers on other boxes Eco friendly ways to organize like re-purposing boxes or plastic containers from packaging. Pointers on systems that work well that use repurposed boxes |
