That was sooo funny although I can’t understand how she didn’t know what a Bar Mitzvah is…all in all, i know it’s hard finding the right card….

Michael — I have lately begun buying $.99 cards. It’s silly to spend the extra dough for paper, when I’d much rather put the difference toward a gift instead. The dollar cards are just as nice and they get thrown out anyway. You’re right about the gift cards being not very thoughtful. But, boy, are they easier!

erek what you said about "The fact that a store requires me to keep a gift card with a credit balance of $1.63 because they have a policy not to refund cash is insane." IS SO TRUE AND I'M SICK OF IT! Basically they know now one will spend exactly $25 or $50, so basically to get the full value of the gift card, you have to spend $30 or $60... another way to almost force you to spend more. I think birthday cards are pointless unless they're unique or extremely humorous. Otherwise what's what point of spending the $5 for a piece of paper that goes in the trash? The other thing that really gets me is gift cards because they aren't very thoughtful. What's the point of you giving me a $25 gift card and me giving you a $25 gift card for Christmas or something? There's really no point. We might as well keep the money and buy from the stores we actually like. Michael's last blog post..No I.D. required for credit card transactions?

Lin — That’s a brilliant idea! I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about that program. It’s genius!

LOL that hasn’t happened to me before. I actually have the Hallmark Greeting Card software on my computer that I use for cards. It makes getting cards for all occasions much easier, and I don’t even have to leave my house.

ann of the shampoo bag — Clicking the Purchase button was so exhausting. Maybe next time I’ll try to mentally send you a gift. Even less work!

I have to say, e-cards are the way to go. Kathy sent me one for my birthday (on time), I ordered 3 books from Amazon, and they got delivered to my door! How’s that for a perfect gift, plus she didn’t even have to leave the house! My philosophy, in action.

Corrina — I bet they would have hit the mother lode of baptism cards at a Hallmark’s. I think they were lucky to even get a christening card. I only recall the one.

cardiogirl — I realized immediately how funny that sounded coming out. And then I almost said grace

JD “The Supplicant” — Congratulations on your recent nuptials! Glad you stopped by for a visit, and thanks for the compliment. If everything goes well enough, I’ll have a post for Midnight Wanderers by Thursday, hopefully sooner. Talk to you soon!

Theresa — Ya do what ya gotta do! I hope the babies’ parents liked what they (we) picked out.

Mike — Talk about unifying religions. Yep. That’d do it.

Can’t they just make a card that says:

“happy holiday that your particular invisible sky faerie is hosting”

That would save a lot of cards.

Right?

Lol! How hard can it be to buy a card? Why are there so many lame people out there? But you, you are a sweet person to be so helpful.

Hi Kathy After being away for awhile (getting married) I am now back. This was another great post Kathy. You are truly a gifted writer. This was an excellent story and an excellent laugh. You have to be a nice person to have put up with the whole scenario. I detest card shopping and can't imagine willingly helping someone else pick a card. Well done. ~JD :The Supplicant JD "The Supplicant"'s last blog post..A hint of sadness

Favorite lines must be: "Nevermind. It’s not a baptism card. You don’t want that.” And: "It has God in it. God is good.” Yes, Kathy, God is good (said in deep announcer's voice.) cardiogirl's last blog post..Even a 7-year-old questioned this one
