| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Complete the following statement: “My home could serve as the Museum of _____.” (You may also substitute “monument” for “museum.”) | Museum of Books (Cookbook Collection & 40 year Travelogue), and Personal Records Museum. |
| Complete the following statement: “My home is a warehouse for _____.” | Plastic bags, empty boxes, storage containers, family heirloom dishes, gifts still waiting to be given. |
| Describe something that you’re keeping because it connects you with a past version of yourself, your family history, a former relationship, etc. | My childhood was complicated. Earliest years in Orphanages (shut down by Gov. for rampant child abuses), followed by years in foster care. Trying to get actual RECORDS kept by state agencies, to finally learn the TRUTH (after being lied to by ALL involved “for my protection” throughout my childhood) has been an on-and-off again CONSUMING PASSION throughout my adult life. I WANT THE FACTS... ALL OF THEM. This is complicated by my not living in the state I grew up in. |
| Describe something that you’re keeping for a future need, whether real or imagined. What is the likelihood that you will use the item in question within the next year? Five years? | Gifts for grandchildren and others. Stored Memories that console me when I’m able to spend time accessing them. But high likelihood I will use them within five or less years. |
| 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). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | How to find someone locally who might be skilled and helpful (and affordable) to slowly walk through my mess with me and assist me in dismantling it, clearing space, organizing what needs to remain for better accessibility. I had a disabling work accident 14 years ago, which has severely complicated my life, and contributed to this problem. |
