Fellowes P-12C Paper Shredder Does It Right The First Time: A Review and Giveaway!

These days it is more important then ever to safeguard your privacy.  How many times have you heard about stolen identities and the problems that you face when it happens? 

That's why having a good paper shredder is critical to keep your personal information out of the hands of those who can use it against you.

I recently received the Fellowes P-12C Shredder for review.  I turned to my boyfriend to put it to the test in his office, where safeguarding sensitive documents is of the utmost importance.  This is what he had to say:

" I was impressed with this shredder right out of the box!  It had a sleek design and really complimented my office decor.  It was a breeze to set-up and I was able to use it right away. 

I fed it a few sheets to see if it would jam ( like the old non-Fellowes shredder I had been using) and the sheets went through easily.  I then tried a thicker stack of sheets and guess what..NO JAMMING!  What a pleasure to use! 

I thought for sure if i put in some stapled items that it would surely jam but no..the Fellowes P-12C handled that with ease as well!

I am entirely confident in the protection I now have for sensitive documents being shredded the Fellowes way!"

Help Stop Buzzed Driving!!!!!!



Did you know that in 2008, just over the Labor Day holiday weekend, 194 people were killed in crashes involving an impaired driver? That is 194 people too many!  What a waste of 194 lives!


This Labor Day, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ad Council are trying to remind people to plan ahead and designate a sober driver for any Labor Day celebration because "Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving."

We need your help to spread this message during the Labor Day weekend to help keep impaired drivers off the road, even if they have had just one drink.

Here are some things YOU can do to save lives!

-Plan ahead: Whenever you plan on consuming alcohol, designate your sober driver before going out and give that person your keys;


-If you’re impaired, call a taxi, use mass transit or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely;

-Promptly report drunk drivers you see on the roadways to law enforcement;

-And remember, Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk. If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.

-If you're throwing a party, make sure to offer up non-alcoholic drinks for the sober drivers in your group. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Drunk Driving Prevention Facebook Fan page has compiled a Facebook tab with 50 non-alcoholic party drink recipes right here.   There's something here for every taste and every type of get-together!

-Check out the Alternative Ride Locator -  a Facebook tab with a nationwide list of alternative ride programs. Share this page with the people that you love!

-Tell your friends about Buzzed Driving , a drunk driving website.  Here readers can sign a pledge not to drink and drive, play "Spot the Difference," an interactive game that simulates the effects of buzzed driving , and watch a real-life video about how buzzed driving changed one woman's life.  It is a very good way to demonstrate the dangers of Buzzed Driving.


Thank you in advance for your help! This Labor Day, let's work together to put an end to buzzed driving. Don't ruin your summer with a drunk driving arrest. Designate a sober driver before you begin celebrating. Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.
