The things that make the news. . .



A dog employed to guard this collection of teddy bears tears up dozens. Including Elvis's teddy bear, Mabel, which some fool paid $75,000 for. $75,000!!! For a teddy bear??!!

Ironically:
The collection was so valuable that the insurance company insisted the exhibitors guard it with dogs.
Bet they think twice about that next time!

. . .Story. . .

Article in the newspaper this morning about Identity Theft/Fraud in the US.

Shredders are popular, 69% of the households have one.

(Do you all have one?)

Proffessional Shredding is becoming big business.

Shredder, definitely, and make sure it is a cross-cut.

And my second sometimes shredder that does an even better job than the cross-cut, my cat.

Dog = check (ankle biter)
Shredder = Check (2)


I shred and then burn everything with personal info on it.

A shredder is a must have today. With all the identity thief going around. Also, make sure it is Cross cut or the one that makes it into confetti.

Great for old checks, credit card statements, old credit cards, old payment stubs, etc.
