yoy should bring long tim in someday

One thing that has come of all the cleaning out and getting rid of stuff around here is full disclosure of the depths of our packrattery. Jonathan thinks it sounds like I’m bragging when I say this, but we are lucky enough to have really great closets in our apartment. Add to that the fact that we have not moved in over 7 yrs and you wind up with yesterday’s discovery: a box* for a phone that we no longer own, having upgraded to a new model who knows how many years ago (but less than 7).
* Are we the only freaks who keep all the packaging from computers, phones, appliances, stereo components, etc.? Mostly this is a holdover from all the moving we used to do, though sometimes it comes in handy if we want to eBay old stuff.
Also, the things we can shred! So many things. So many old documents, why do we still have them, why? Our poor shredder has seen much action recently. Shredding is a seriously boring time suck. I was wishing we could get Gus to do it, I know he’d love to shred. But I’m pretty sure that it’s illegal to make your 5 yr old use the shredder. What we need around here is a Kevin.

NO! That is so sad! I have this feeling that lightning can’t get us because the electrical lines are underground (though some phone lines aren’t) and plus it would have to go through our whole apartment building. But I may just be deluding myself. Jonathan’s stepdad once had his computer’s modem fried by lightning! Dang.
Also fried: internal modum for the blue iMac, and I think a phone and lightbulb. That’s what we get for living in the middle of a corn/cotton/peanut field!
Dag, that sucks! Well, except for the lightbulb, that’s merely annoying.
Our shredder was struck by lightning. Now it makes a handy wastebasket.
