Moderators dtel Posted February 13, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 13, 2014 Found it's easier to just not give any, they know what to expect, if I were to give them they would be very suspicious or think I'm dieing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtel, is there anything that you are not able to justify??...... All of it really, although my wife and family says I'm just like my dad was, with an opinion on everything but really don't give a grap in the long run. I have given a few cards in my life only to my wife but not many, should be a lot more considering she put up with me for well over 30 years.

You right, but I never forget if I was heading to the bathroom and sure hope I don't get old enough to forget that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungkiman Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 A few years ago, I missed my father's birthday. When I called 3 days later to apologize, he suggested that forgotten birthdays wouldn't bother him until he couldn't remember his own. My favorite is when other people ask me what THEY forgot!

BigStewMan Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 A few years ago, I missed my father's birthday. When I called 3 days later to apologize, he suggested that forgotten birthdays wouldn't bother him until he couldn't remember his own. My favorite is when other people ask me what THEY forgot! I ask my wife to remind me of stuff sometimes, that's about as effective as peeing in the wind. i wasn't sure if my doctor's appointment was at 2:00 or 3:00--so i showed up at 2:00. while i was checking in, i told the receptionist that i couldn't remember what time the appointment was--she said, "it was 3:00." i thanked her for taking me in early and she said, "it was at 3:00 YESTERDAY." They are kind to me there. I have profound hearing loss and pre-hearing aids, I was in the waiting room and the nurse called a name--nobody got up so i figured it must be me that she called. While she's taking my blood pressure, i'm looking at the chart and i ask, "why does the chart have the name George?" She said, "I stood at the waiting room door and called out for George (can't recall the last name) and you came." I wonder if Old George was getting any good meds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I am so opposed to the concept of greeting cards. Why spend 5 bucks on a piece of paper with a message and image created by someone else and then just sign it. Somehow that has become a social norm for some reason, $&ing Hallmark! I have made my own personal cards (photoshoped) for very close family members for the past 6 years, the rest get a text and or a gift on major events. To me selecting and texting internet meme is just as meaningful and usually funnier. Sorry what where we talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
