You don't need to be explicit. Just let them know you care. :)

Of course if this were a joke question I'd have a thousand answers. ;)

Or this.

It really doesn't matter if what you write kind of repeats what is printed. What is printed serves to tell the person what kind of card it is. What you write tells them you care.

If you know them well, you could write a little more, like a letter. People (older people especially) like to hear news and reminiscences, just as long as it doesn't make the card "me me me". or you could enclose a note.

Definitely don't dwell on the amputation/mention it at all. if you do that, you haven't a leg to stand on.

What?

For Hebe to triumph in the 100 breast stroke at State Championships. See -it wan't my place to want it.

Anyhoo she didn't triumph but she did OK.... but then she did take bronze in the 200 when getting to finals looked hit and miss...... and unexpectedly placed in the 200 fly, -where getting to finals was a given non-occurrence...... so I feel ok about wanting it now. kinda

Let's say you got a "get well" card for somebody who has just had their leg amputated. And the printing on the card already says "you're in my thoughts and prayers.". How do you sign the card? "Get better soon" doesn't work. "Sorry for your loss" sounds like a joke. There must be some appropriate signature line. What is it?

This person is like 80 years old, if that makes any difference.

"Congratulations on your weight loss!"

I'd agree with this.

glatt 03-19-2012 07:14 AM

Thanks for the good ideas. Simple and to the point is always a good idea and is very much my style.

I had been wandering around in circles, without a leg to stand on, so this gives me a leg up on the situation. Thanks.

Meanwhile, we had pre-addressed the envelope, thinking we would be dropping the card in the mail any moment, and she's moved to a different place in town. Got to find another envelope, or at least a blank label to stick over the thing.

Include a job application for I-Hop.

What? I waited an appropriate amount of time, didn't I?

:lol:

infinite monkey 03-19-2012 07:55 AM

I should get my car back this afternoon. Yay.

I was talking to a cow orker and his premiums are WAY below mine and he only has 100 deductible. How can that be? Why are my premiums so high? I get a good driver discount and some renewal discount. I looked to lowering my deductible and the premium shot way up. Not sure what to do, what to cut or lessen.

Is 600/half a year a lot?

glatt 03-19-2012 08:02 AM

Does this cow orker have multiple policies with the same insurance co?

We have life/auto/home/and umbrella with the same company. The umbrella was basically free because we had the others, and the others are all cheaper because it's all bundled. I don't know what the totals are. $600 sounds a little high, but not outrageous.

infinite monkey 03-19-2012 08:05 AM

He might. I'll ask him.

I didn't think it was that high either but he was all like "REALLY?" so I wondered, me being a total doofus about such things.

HungLikeJesus 03-19-2012 08:27 AM

IM, I think we're also paying about 600 every 6 months.

That covers 5 cars, with two drivers, the newest being a 2012 Audi and the oldest a 1990 Toyota MR2.

infinite monkey 03-19-2012 08:29 AM

WHAT?

I'm one car, one driver, 2006 VW Beetle.

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe I do need an agent.

HungLikeJesus 03-19-2012 08:31 AM

You just need four more cars.

infinite monkey 03-19-2012 08:43 AM

Hahahhahaa!

OK. A Jeep, a Lamborghini, and a BMW Z4, please.

infinite monkey 03-19-2012 08:51 AM

I forgot one!

Ummmm...a Mazda5.
