Never thought I could do this

Someone out there might be considering the idea of shredding correspondence and at least they will see that someone else has reached that point. It took me two years of gradual reduction of contact to reach this point.

Yes, and I just want to say THANKS. It's good to see that you were able to reach that point, and there's no lightning. Externally or internally. I doubt very much I could do that yet - but hearing how you dealt with your N's letters makes me think - "Hey! That's a POSSIBILITY! Yay!!"

Having a shredder sounds great though... I have a feeling I'd have so much fun with a shredder, I'd shred things I didn't need to: take out menus, newspaper, my tax return...  :wink:

Flower, I like that idea of shredding miserable or unwanted thoughts.  Wish there was something we could buy to do that!

As for physical things, I bought a replacement shredder recently for home office use that not only shreds 25 pages of paper at a time, it also shreds credit cards and CD's/DVD's.

Shredding is a good idea for thos unwanted bank checks and credit card offers that come in the mail, lots of fraud done that way.

Speaking of fraud, I had a $1811 charge show up on one of my credit card statements this month, from a store in florida I had never heard of (a wallpaper store).  I live in NJ.  This card was in my possession, in fact, both cards were in my safe where I keep cards I am not using, I have been paying this one off in order to cancel it.  Well, immediately we cancelled the card (there was still some credit available on it) and have sent in the dispute form after calling the company.  Some sort of fraud was done, probably from an old receipt or on line transaction I did quite awhile back.  Will be interested to see if they find out who did it.  My N son lives in Florida, and I used this card two years ago when I visited him before a cruise.  Wonder if he somehow got a hold of a receipt.  I have no idea where he is in Florida, it could be just a coincidence.  And what a weird thing to buy on fraud, walllpaper.

--- Quote from: flower ---Thanks everyone for all the responses.   :D Liked those shredding ideas.  :lol:

I think I'll get a  shredder as soon as I can and have a little fun. Might have a few old N cards or letters around the house.


I want to say that I think MM is one of a few posters that first inspired me that I could someday dispose of N letters before reading. Thanks MM.


What else can we shred..hmm..
I think I'll envision  mental and emotional shredders  to take care of the stray unrealistic thoughts and emotions about my parents that might sneak up on me. heh heh

Hi Flower,

I'm glad the shredding (or burning in your case) worked. I just love my shredder!! And you're welcome.

Fortunately, I won't be responsible for the charge, especially since I had the cards in my possession.  That is why we must always guard our receipts and check our bills carefully each month.  You only have 60 to 90 days (depending on the company) to dispute a charge.

Have fun mentally shredding.

This situation sounds like the pits. Wallpaper... that is weird. That's too bad about your son. We keep having weird circumstances where we can't figure out who did what too. I guess that is just life with an N and life in general. Going to shred the perplexity upset emotion here on the latest strange circumstance a couple days ago...Ieee![/quote]
