Today is my birthday and although I have a lot of people in my life that I consider to be good friends, only my family remembers my birthday any more. I am not complaining. Just stating a fact. I have childhood and school friends, and old work friends, and new friends and they are all separate. People seldom purchase cards these days (and who can blame them with the high cost of Carlton and Hallmark cards). There are the lower cost cards available through the Dollar Store chains, but am I alone in worrying that I am buying the same ones each year, not realizing it? There was a company in Canada called Regal that sold affordable and high quality cards, but they have recently gone into receivership after 75 years, I believe.
With e-cards taking over, many of us are sending and receiving them instead.
By the way, I am going to check my e-mail to see if anyone (my sister perhaps?) who has sent me an e-card. I got to eat all the food I wanted today. I told my mom, "no calorie counting today!"
