When I opened our stationery cupboard today and dozens and dozens and dozens of greeting cards cascaded to the floor, covering my feet up to my knees - well, almost, I decided something had to be done.
Along with enough labels to send out a mass mailing to everyone in the United States with our return address (some with our names misspelled) attached, we are also the recipients of Christmas wrapping paper, with dubious charm, and 2008 calendars (I still have a pile of leftover 2007), of which we can at best use only two - and which financial prudence prevents me from buying one I would really like........
......and all this because we contribute - I can hardly use the word "support" since our donations are, unfortunately, not that impressive - to various needy causes.
This in turn, makes us both feel guilty, and also wonder at the cost-profit-ratio statistics of these organizations. It really looks as if they spend more than they get from us.
So, my question to each and every one of the administrators of these noble causes is "Just how much do we have to send you in order for you pan>
Maybe I should set up a garage sale, put all this stuff out, and alert Hallmark? I mean this is serious competition for them and they might just want to make a deal with all these good causes and everyone would come out ahead.
I'd be sure to give all my card business to Hallmark - it's the least I could do.
