That "collect" term doesn't fool them!

It really doesn't matter how much I try to explain that I collect various items, or even make the claim that I have a tendency to save things. Most people who know me also know that there's hardly anything purposeful about my saving habits - things simply have a way of accumulating around me ... and not getting thrown out. I might add that at a certain point there's logic, if not justification, in not throwing something out. If, for instance, when leafing through a box of accumulated items I can no longer seem to remember why it was that I saved a particular item, I'm at least able to justify my continuing to hold onto it with the explanation that if until now I haven't thrown it out there must have been a good reason. So, even if I no longer know what that reason was, I'll keep holding onto the item. After all, somewhere along the line I just may remember.
