Top comment-getting post is the one about how "Mongoloid" isn't as archaic as it oughta be, and my personal pick for comment of the week is this one, left by commenter Chris G in response to a post on hoarding: "My son's hoarding isn't quite as severe as others, but he can't get rid of anything willingly-I always do it when he's not around and I save much more stuff than I would like. I often put stuff in a holding area in the basement or attic, then if he's forgotten about it I pitch it, but he sometimes remembers years later. My standard answer: "I'm sure it will turn up sooner or later." And here's a funny story: he is now obsessed with real estate magazines. They are all over the house and my in-laws were babysitting and got nervous because they thought we were planning to move!"
