I am inundated as well. also "saved" stuff to shred later... but ours was just a couple of trash bags shoved away n the office.

Well my new wife came in and cleaned the office. She manhandled those papers the ghetto way, poured bleach all over them and shook the bag like a shake n bake! Nobody would want to steal your information that bad to have to dig through chlorine gas!1


I had to go out of town for a coule days that turned into a week, she handled the garage i'd been avoiding for almost a decade. And bless her heart, she KNOWS what to save that's sentimental, and the rest went away without me having to go through it, and the rat piss, LOL. She's helped me turn this house from a graveyard of my former life to a home we can share

Anyway, I wanted to commisserate, and say it's no small feat.
