why do people still send cards through the post?

<<This is Jack. He’s Captain of the Guards. I’m Mr. HA, the Warden.
You are convicted felons. That’s why they’ve sent you to me.
Rule number one, no blasphemy.
I’ll not have the Lord’s name taken in vain in my game.
The other rules, you’ll figure out as you go along. Any questions?

I guess you could send a girl a picture of flowers instead of the real ones.

why would anybody send flowers through the post, HR? they'd be all dried up & ugly by the time they reached their intended recipient.

You've never heard of FTD or 1800 flowers?

those are not part of canada post or usps, are they?

[2dimes]

FTD is a network of florists. You can go to one FTD location to pay vfor flowers sent from another. Their logo is an image of Mercury. I suspect there is one on your island.

[riskllama]

yeah, that's great. thx...

I like cards but, I never send them. I think it's like Mookie says.

[saxitoxin]

Sending cards is still useful for some occasions.

-----Or you could send Plastic Real looking flowers...
-------I always send or give anyone I see on a daily basis...A Birthday card...when it's their day...But I guess you guys knew that already... ... Happy Birthday Everyone And Merry Christmas and A New Year...After 2020...We might not want to Jinx 2021...Or should we ... Happy New Year!!! ... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

because it's stupid & pointless and more than a little irritating because if you happen to get one, or worse, several... , the implied social contract is that A) you should have already sent one to the sender, or B) are now expected to contact the person & thank them for it. well f*ck that noise - this ancient practice needs to end. now.

Grinch Much?

certainly not, jimbo - it's just cheaper, faster & better to deal w/stuff like this via electronic devices. i don't think anyone here is suggesting to not wish friends & family a merry xmas or a happy birthday - at least i'm not, it's just that there are far better ways of doing it than w/some card w/a generically thought up sentiment that you can sign your name to and fire off via the post office...

80% of the people we get cards from don’t send generic cards.

They send picture cards; usually with their kids, sometimes pets, sometimes themselves.

Most of my cards are from family friends with kids, or nephews/nieces with kids.

It’s a nice way to see these kids growing over time.

We don’t immediately throw out the cards. We tape them up around the trim of our door in the kitchen and they add to the decor of the season.

I like getting them.

Hey, llama. Thought you'd be encouraged to know that my father agrees with you. For your entertainment, I'm sending along the holiday 'greetings' he just sent out.

Some lines have been redacted due to personally-identifying information.

Everything has a good and a bad point. Windsor is locked down as of Sunday midnight Dec 13. I arrived from Prague on Dec 12. So, I was placed in quarantine with a great threat of fine I could not pay if caught outside. ...... No big deal. It is cold, snow or melted snow, and liberal party corruption on the ground. Usually, since 1970 when we canceled all the stupidity called holidays, we were on some nice beach enjoying the sun. I do enjoy the beaches but to a point. I am a terrestrial animal, not a fish. The pool is often warmer and more pleasant.

Because of the quarantine, I could not cross the border until after the holidays.

What are the holidays? Usually, families get together, get drunk, start arguing, and kill each other. We are compelled by the irrational need to support Chinese slave labourers by buying various rubber duckies we neither need or want. We are forced to show appreciation for other such items others give us when cleaning their houses. We caused a living thing to be cut down, take it to our house, hang a lot of ketches on it and again are compelled to admire this stupidity called tradition when visiting others. The living thing pays us back for its murder. First, it sheds a lot of needles we need to clean up later. Later, some catch on fire and burn the house down killing the occupants by the smoke. In a week we un-ceremonially throw it out on the street for the garbage pickup, but the overwhelmed city is slow and the wind picks those dead trees up and causes danger for the motorists. We eat a lot of high-calorie food, drink a lot of alcohol, later work hard for the year to lose what we gained in a couple of weeks. Nevertheless, we claim how much fun we had. We work hard to plug the financial hole this stupidity put us in so the following year we can repeat the stupidity.

I do have a way out for you. Join us next year in a resort at the beach.

This is my Xmas card. No licking stamps and going to post office for us for decades. Sending something to someone should cause some benefit. Information, entertainment. Of course, we wish you all the best, most importantly health, and hope that destruction of America by liberals will not affect you too much. Unfortunately, our children will hate us soon, for a good reason. The suffering we prepared for them the people do not realize, yet. As long as people are as smart as yeast making our beer, they will breed just like yeast until they all die as a result of their metabolic poisons. No matter what that idiot Greca-Breca says, there is no hope for us in foreseeable future. Perhaps you will choose one of the gods of one of the 4200 plus religions in the world and pray hard to that puppet. No, it will not help you but it will make you feel better while dying from the pollution. Our future is not bright enough to need the shades, my hope for you is that you make the best of it and stay happy and amused.

All the best,

[riskllama]

grampa duk for the win.

Didn’t you say something about moving out young and refusing to go back?
