looking at the stack of papers

Among all the other fun of this holiday season, the switch in our shredder that gets triggered when you insert paper broke. So now I'm looking for a new one. It needs to be fairly powerful because we expect to have to do a lot of shredding when it's time to handle the in-laws estate.

This one is a Fellows, which is supposed to be a good brand. That's a fairly weak looking piece of plastic for that switch, though.

I bought a Fellowes in probably 2016. It has been dropped I don’t know how many times and moved three times, over REALLY bumpy roads in some places, and it just keeps right on going. I don’t know how much I paid for it, probably under $100, but I’ll hate to part with it when it finally bites the dust.

You should contact Fellowes and tell them of the problem. They may replace the whole thing for free.

Well, each day represents a word, so there have been 909 words used so far. I don’t know how many 5-letter words there are in the English language (Hold that thought!) — “171,476 words in current use (and 47,156 obsolete words).”

So we have quite a few to barrel through!
