Nicely put, Pete! That's me, too!
The stuff I have is useful, and I can't afford to buy very much, so I really do have to hang on to what I have. But mixing that with ADD, I (strongly) tend to descend into CLUTTER. You give me a flat surface and I can cover it. I have stuff on the kitchen table that I haven't seen for quite a while. It does have the advantage of keeping my most mischievous cat off the table, simply because he's found that it's just too dangerous.

One of my sisters is a clean freak and will discard what she doesn't use to Goodwill.
My other sister discards everyone else's stuff to Goodwill.
