Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for February 13, 2021

Should a Bat Mitzvah anyway. (I assume the guy’s Bar Mitzvah was some time ago.)

A card doesn’t count as a gift no matter what.

What’s her problem…he thought enough of her to try and con her…

So “It’s the thought that counts” isn’t true?!

Not even if I HANDED it to you?

I used to send Xmas cards without signing them, and a note inserted saying that it was so they could be reused the following year.

“Today, she is a man.”

When the card rack has been assaulted and picked clean you have to take whatever you can find. Happy “Edison’s Day”!

Have another glass of wine, dear.

(Curse that rabbi’s cheap advice.) :)

Just ain’t kosher.

My child often gives me condolence cards for my birthday. Or anything at all. She writes in the expected words, and it was me who started the tradition. We were given a bag of unused cards by someone, and decided to save a lot of money and have more left over for the actual gifts. It’s really a lot of fun. I gave a 35+ year old man a happy two year old birthday card last year. Easter cards might be used for Christmas. One given at the correct time is considered bad form in our family.

But you’ve got wine and chocolates – forget the card!
