I know I'm getting old when I look at the back of a hallmark card and ponder WTF? This much for a card?


In my youth I could pick one out in under 2 minutes.
Last time I was there, I spent about 10 minutes, trying to compromise between what was written on the front, inside & if it equated to $4.75
Same . I became the guy who couldn't just write 'happy birthday' in a card and leave it at that. Now I have to come with some whimsical personalized crapolla as proof that I'm not just the grey hair shooing loud kids off the lawn now but can also be some soppy ol geezer too .
