Wow! She’s even cheaper than you are, Leroy.

Is today “Ground-Hog’s Day”, . . . any one see Bill Murry

An advantage of have geezer relatives.

Very thrifty. Frugal, one might even say.

With the same illustration of American GI’s at Anzio!!

But it still reads: “Happy 18th Birthday!”

It’s either sentimental, or cheap.

I’ve kept several that my wife has given me over the years. One of my favorites is a Garfield-like cat in a Smoky Bear hat walking up to a car. The caption is “Do you have any idea how fast you were going over that hill?”

If only I could get away with that. Cards are such a @#$#!! waste of money.

I knew a woman who didn’t seal the envelope or sign the card so it could be regifted.

After a while, they’re all the same anyway….

Same present, too?

When you have to remind someone that it’s their birthday, it’s lost its meaning.

A million years ago Mad Magazine had a little “kit” on a page where you could cut out and paste the words “from” and “to” over “to” and “from” so a card could be resent. There were probably more on the page, but that one I remember seeing. As far as I am concerned, in most cases the card is just to identify who is getting a gift and who gave it.

One year after Christmas, I bought a box of 50 Christmas cards for about one or two dollars. Since I generally only send out five or six Christmas cards, and only to those, I have received a card from, I had almost 10 years of Christmas cards left. Also, some charities will send you a dozen or so Christmas cards or get well cards or happy birthday cards in hopes that you would send them a donation!

It’s the thought that counts…. Right?

She is cheap when it comes to Leroy but likes to spend on herself

Clever in a way.

Haha! (＾▽＾)
