| Dispose of Prescription Bottles Safely
|
|
Be especially safe with your old prescription bottles. Be sure and mark through the name of person and drug name with a marker before putting in trash as some people would try to get it filled, especially if it is for a pain pill.

| Protecting Yourself from Identity Theft

| Address Labels Can Get Stuck In Shredder
|
|
Beware of shredding those free address labels you get in the mail. I had a shredder that previously handled (quite nicely) the address labels - and then it didn't. I'll have to replace the unit.
