Yes it's true. We bought a new Cross-Cut Shredder that cost a nearly $100 delivered and it's been the been the best deal we've gotten in quite a while. Decided to get a heavy duty home unit that didn't just turn your private documents into 1/4 inch strips that anyone with time on their hands could easily reconstruct. This one turns your paper into confetti and it's been invaluable to our clean-up-our-life program. We're getting our cool stuff under control as we haven't driven by many yard or estate sales without indulging our penchant for acquiring same cool stuff. A big part of this process is dealing with a mountain of old paperwork that goes back for over a decade. We've saved every bill and receipt over that time period and it was time to turn that paper into something useful so we just ordered a Newspaper Briquette Maker to help fuel our woodstove. All in all we're having a great time working our way through our old crap. Our record collection is now on a spreadsheet (nearly 600 albums) and our CD collection is next (600+) after we finish the big shred. We'll be tackling the Purple room next where several walls of books and VHS tapes face an elimination event aimed at returning it to useful status. First editions only when it comes to the books. I have read a ton of fantasy and science fiction paperbacks that I'm soon to be returning to the public sphere. We're accepting any ideas for where their new home might be. Who would have thought that a shredder could bring so much fun into one's life? Not I. Just sayin'.
