Shred Your Bad Memories of 2007


NEW YORK (AP) -- In the spirit of starting anew, a business group and the city's sanitation department are inviting New Yorkers to shred their bad memories of 2007.

Everything from photos of ex-lovers to lousy report cards will be fair game when the Times Square Alliance and the New York Department of Sanitation set up shredders in the Times Square Visitors Center for an hour on Dec. 28.

Recycling bins will be available for items that can't be shredded, like embarrassing fashion mistakes, annoying CDs and irresistible - and fattening - chocolate chip cookies. The organizers say they'll also provide stationery for passers-by to jot down memories they wish would go away.

A grand prize of $250 will be awarded to the person deemed to be most creative in letting go of old baggage.

Better get there by noon: At 1 p.m., a sanitation truck will pick up the distasteful, the disturbing, the downright depressing - and cart it all away.

Hmm, you sound angry lately. Here's a thought: why dont you actually confront whoever or whatever is upsetting you and get it off of your chest? It might make you feel better than cryptic blog postings and you might resolve the issue in a healthy fashion. Just an opinion.

i also think that i've been exceptionally HAPPY lately. i have so much that is good and right and loving and supportive and healthy in my life right now.
i don't feel any need to be dragged in to any one else's drama. Don't like drama llamas.
