Is this one of those if the shoe fits ....? I don't think Gracie was talking about you entirely. I think it was a more generalization that if people become too obsessed with certain things, especially as we age, we might need some help.

Personally, I fit one of her categories -- I can't bear to throw things away. I try, will look at it and remember the meaning behind it and it stays. Definitely not healthy given I have one room stuffed with boxes of things I don't need. So, I guess she's assassinating my character as well. Good thing I don't take it personally, eh?
