I just got a paper shredder.


More or less like this one, but nothing special. $29.95 at Office Depot.


Mind your beeswax, A$$KKKROFT!

Oh wait, he quit. :(

Does the new Nazi have an easy to ridicule name? :evilgrin:

2. All joking aside,
it's a good idea to have one. Identity theft is a growing problem these days.

9. Identity theft
I just finshed my first victim statement as re my ID theft. And I've shredded since '85. Can't stress the importance of shredding enough.

5. LOL.
They have already made it "snow" with the shreds.
Lotsa fun cleaning up little bitty papers....:mad:


(It cuts into diamond shapes rather than long strips.)

6. I was going to suggest

that you change your name to Arthur Anderson. Too bad you got the super-duper, diamond shredder. The strip shredder creates great packing material. Diamonds don't work too well.

On edit: you could put them in plastic garbage bags, seal them and use for packing. It's actually what I do with the strips.

7. Shred a practice constitution
and someday you, too, could be Attorney General. Or maybe even prsident. Or maybe run a country as vice-president.

13. I have a paper shredder too
but I've read to be careful with them unless they shred very finely.
Mine does not shred finely, so if some nut wants to sit at the garbage dump and try to piece the shredding they could do this.
I also need to be careful how I shred. Watch when you first shred to be sure any ID cannot be detected. Just a warning to be very careful.
