Of course to baby G, shredding probably means something else entirely -- something about half pipes, maybe?

Thanks for the visit - keep on writing!

. . . me a shredder several years ago and it gets a lot of use.

Now if we could just get Baby G married off so that we had a good use for all this confetti that we have been generating.

:-)

Nice posting.

As promised to ed_, I went home and shredded a buncha checks -- every check written in 1992 to be precise (a stack about five inches thick). It takes a while, mind you, but I had no problems - no jams, no nothin'.

Beats the heck outa doin' it by hand!

Thanks for the visit -- nice to see you around again.

No more "ouches" with this shredder. I'm tired of cutting papers by hand or sometimes soaking them in water to get the print off.

Thanks for your review. I'm getting myself a paper shredder...this one to be exact.

It's therapeutic, all right, but sounds like your super (stupor?) needs a different kind of therapy... Yeah, I gotta go home tonight and shred all the checks dated June 4, 1995. Ho, hum.

Thanks for the visit, ed_!

but my building manager is so freaked out about having his identity stolen, he bought one of these things and now he even shreds his magazines and newspapers after he reads them. The trash bins (paper only, naturally) are filled with his shreds. I think that's carrying things a bit too far.

As for my self, I sit there and watch the boob tube and rip up stuff that's seven years old.
