So I am commenting, which means I read this post!
However, I am completely thrilled that you bought a shredder. I’ve used one before, and they are incredibly therapeutic! Guess what? I’m saving all the junk mail and bringing them there next time. So add shredding to the agenda, besides the drinking, of course!

Shredders are fun toys…I can’t wait to get mine. I am sick of having to do all the shredding myself. There is a mountain so high in my dining room I can’t find my table!!

Wachovia did that to me too. Several phone calls later, they informed me that they can’t go completely paperless.
Its my cousin-in-law that gets those bills now. I hope he is having as much fun with his shredder (he has the cool zig-zag types) as you are.

Sampada, Heh. I expected you to. BTW that wasn’t the only thing I got with the card.
JC, our situation isn’t that bad yet.
Niket, I guess the heart’s in the right place but bureaucracy demands otherwise.
sqrl, I knew it that the pleasures of shredding aren’t new. and nope, currently just seeing white shreds makes me clap with joy. Color may follow as seasons change.
