That reminds me: what do people do with their pay stubs?
You know you don't have to file tax forms in heaven, right?
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
All of us non-raptured folk have, what, seven years to hang with the Anti-Christ and/or repent for our godless ways.
And to grab some nice cars, homes, etc....
Nice to have the timeline set. Six years, 11 months of godless hedonism, 1 month of deeply sincere repentance, all scheduled in my Outlook calendar.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I kept my paystubs about the same amt of time I'd keep utility bills and such. About 7 years. But I'm trying to mend those ways because I can't afford the sq. footage anymore. I think there were one or two times I had to use them to prove income or something but in general I was probably being overly cautious.

Now I'm bummed that I apparently won't be going there.

Spidra, in your circumstances, where various agencies will ask impertinent questions you need proof for, you might want to be more paranoid about your record keeping.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My sister's on the phone with me talking about how no one's Rapturing out of their cars. She was hoping for a Benz. She says we should go down to Florida and sell Korans that are secretly rigged with fireworks. I never knew my sister was so subversive.

Sounds like my twenties, on repeat.

Heh. Maybe fill them with smoke bombs that produce a sulfur smell.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I had to have paystubs for stuff recently, but cannot remember what. I know I needed them for adoption stuff.

Thanks, Connie. I'm not tossing things out willy-nilly. In fact, I still have the vast majority of my saved papers. I'm trying to scan them in and only then will I throw them out (and some I'll probably still have in paper form just out of paranoia).
ETA: I also have good digital backups on several drives. I have to arrange some "in the cloud" storage though, in case of fire.
