started to clean out the draw-ers and closets in her housewe discovered that she hadaccumulated a large number ofthe same type of things.We would find a dozen

flashlights in a drawer or 80bath towels in the linen closet,or over 150 purses in the closet(many the same style and col-or), not to mention tons ofclothes and costume jewelrythat hadnt been worn in years.I even found seven bottles of

vinegar in the pantry andshe didnt even cook.The house had always been

kept relatively neat and shehad a cleaning lady to help out.So the question is, did she

just enjoy buying things (like ashopaholic) or was she intokeeping things, like a hoarder?Please help me understandher.WonderingDearWondering:My re-

search into this type of behav-ior makes me believe thatyour mother was not a hoard-er but might have had somehoarding tendencies. Shesounds like a compulsiveshopper and CompulsiveBuying Disorder and hoard-ing are both maladies linkedwith mood disorders.Your mother might have had

depression or anxiety that sherelieved through shopping andcollecting. She might havebeen lonely. She also mighthave been suffering with someage-related cognitive changesor a form of dementia where

she would forget that she hadalready purchased something,or collect it because it hadsomemeaning for her or be-cause she had intended to giveit away.One way to establish wheth-

er this behavior was a disor-der (and not just a prefer-ence) is if either the acquisi-tion or disposition of thesethings interfered with her life.So yes, purchasing dozens ofan item becomes a problem ifyou cant afford them. Hold-ing on to clothes or costumejewelry becomes a problem ifyou dont have space on yourbed to sleep.Although there is evidence

that this behavior can run infamilies, Im not sure why youand other family memberswould argue over this be-cause the most importantquestion after your mothersdeath is, Was she loved?

Dear Amy:Whenmy boy-friend and I started datingseven months ago, I loved thatwe went out on fun dates.However, I started wonderingwhere his money was comingfrom. I now know that he stillreceives income from hismother, even though hes 23and out of school.Although hes working a

part-time job, I know its notenough to cover his bills.When I confronted him aboutsearching for more work, hesaid hes waiting to find histrue passion.

He spends money on mealsout, expensive clothes, andacting and writing classes. Ivalue a strong work ethic, andits difficult for me to see himusing his parents money rath-er than trying to make enoughon his own.How do I discuss this with

him? Is it wrong to impose myvalues on him?AnxiousDear Anxious: It might be

wrong for you to impose yourvalues on your boyfriend, butyoumust live according tothem yourself. So if you valuehardwork and self-reliance,you arent going to respectsomeonewho takes and spendssomebody elses money.If the point of a discussion

would be for you to urge himto change, then I dont thinkyou should discuss this withhim. If you are socially bene-fiting from this money your-self, you have a valid reason toask himwhere it comes from.

Dear Amy: I think you gavethe wrong response to Of-fended, who was insulted bythe question, Do you go tochurch? You seem to see thisas a benign question, but I findit incredibly nosy and person-al. Im not a Christian andwouldnt want anyone assum-ing I am.Also OffendedDear Also:Many readers

agree with you. Of course ifyou arent a Christian, or dontgo to church, or simply dontwant to talk about it, you canalways answer by saying, No.

marked, My idea of roughing it isplaying bridge in a roomwith thewindows open.On getting old, he said, You

take little steps, you dont getthere.Maybe thats the key to longevi-

ty. Playing bridge.Famous fictional bridge players

include James Bond (a bridgehand turns up in the Ian Flemingnovel Moonraker), Blondie andDagwood, and Snoopy andWood-stock (bridge played a part incountless Peanuts comic strips).
