Another thing to think of is your trash is a good source of info on you. Not just for phone numbers, but for other paths to I.D. theft. We all need to get into the habit of shredding anything that has your name, address, and maybe phone number and especially Social Security # on it. As an example, every envelope, letter, bill header, and the like that we get gets that info torn off before going to the recycle bin. Those portions with info get shred. Don't forget about catalogs too, especially the order form inside that often has your info pre-printed. As an example of the phone number, it's often on your bill that gets tossed after payment. Also, as happened to me yesterday, my number was printed on the shipping label on the package I got from Speedway.

Some may think of this as paranoia, but it's a brave new world.

Bob, we put a shredder in the garage so we dont even bring the stuff in the house. I found that, if I shred the electric bill, the gas bill, etc., the expenses go down dramatically at home. I am thinking of putting a shredder inside our mailbox so it goes even quicker....

I use a cheese shredder. Pic. of my knuckles to follow.


Yer' right Bob. We shred everything. In the winter, some of it goes up the chimney as a fire starter.

One clown even seemed to dyne that I was gifted with magic powers and would start asking me when he was going to get married. Like I said, weird calls.

I should have told him "Never, because if you call here again you're going to die" But by this point I'd lost any ounce of sanity I had left. And as Bob knows I didn't have much to start with.

Duane, I still believe that you have the potential for a major home business...your number has been published somewhere.....
(1) set up a VISA account at the bank
(2) figure out how much you will charge per minute
(3) get someone to answer and take the VISA info, etc. and then they can connect the customer with the "guru" (that's you)
(4) you give them some vague advice that generally applies to their question and then add an equally vague quote like "a wet bird never flies at night"
(5) spend the money on car parts

This operation is kinda like the phone sex industry in it's operation (I dont know first hand but Uncle Bob told me how it works).
