As to shredding personal papers, we have a shredder that’s probably 10 years old. A friend of ours showed us their new one that not only shreds, but kind of grinds paper up into really small pieces. It’s pretty neat. Maybe I should put that on my Christmas list.

It's called a cross-cut shredder. Very handy. They can get persnickety though - don't ever shred the maximum it says you can shred at a time. If it's a 10-page shredder, only shred 5-8 pages at a time, max. If it's a 12-page shredded, 8-10 max. Also, if you're shredding a lot of documents in a single sitting, stop every 3 minutes and pause for around 30 seconds before starting back up again. They are prone to overheating. Lastly, oil them once a month, even if you don't use them that month. To oil - use either 4-6 drops of machinist's oil right through the shred slit and shred a single piece of paper immediately after, or get the pre-saturated shredder oiling sheets, and shred one sheet monthly. Following all these steps will add another 1-4 years to the life of the shredder.

Thank you Happinow for the heads up. Light blue pick up? That sounds local.
But All of us.....don't forget that crime here will see an uptick until end of April. Crooks love to come to where it is warm for the winter. And gypsies should be arriving soon and professional beggars looking for a handout. Lock your cars, don't leave golfclubs unattended in public parking lots. Just be a little more aware of everyone and strangers who look out of place parked in your neighborhood. If you are not sure, call Villages Watch. That is what they do.

Another warning
I just returned from swimming at Colony sports pool. While I was there, a gentleman discovered his bag missing that contained his wallet and keys. He had left it in the locker room. Then a woman reported that her high end flip flops were stolen off the pool deck!

Thefts of wallets and electronics occur in gyms all over the country. This is nothing new, and this is not an issue that The Villages has a patent on. I never take my wallet into a gym, even to put it in a locker.

Not sure I understand why someone would leave their stuff unsecured in a locker room, out of sight.

I agree. However, it’s more troubling IMO to think that a theft would occur from the pool deck! There is no where to lock up even your keys and ID card while you swim much less other possessions. You can’t swim with your keys! |

Your response is echoed in the youtube clip I just posted under Isolation is the Dream Killer.

Writing checks leaves you so vulnerable... putting your checking account number out there for any businessman or their employees to see. "Washing" is easy. I might write one a year. Banks are not so quick to refund your money due to fraud as credit card companies are.
There are more secure ways to pay bills, in my opinion.

Cause ripping off people requires little manual labor and the hours are better than banker hours

Be glad you’re not some of the most horrific crimes were done in Kansas and of course other states as well.
