Happy Easter my Darlings!!

Most if not all of us spent the day celebrating the Resurrection of Our Lord eating too much fatty food and sugary candy, being with relatives we either really like, or merely tolerate, and hiding and then finding brightly colored eggs. I do hope you all had a wonderful day.

Of course, I looked in my e-mail to find something amusing. I did very much enjoy the card I received from one KTDevitt, I also enjoyed the automated letter I received from our friendly neighborhood Hallmark people. Here it is, in all it's glory:

Hello!
someone@something.com has viewed your Hallmark E-Card. You’re very thoughtful for sending one.

There's something special about that E-Card feeling. We invite you to make someone else's day and send another one.

Thanks for spending time with us, we hope to see you again soon.

With best wishes,
Your friends at Hallmark

Ok so...

1. It is quite nice that the Hallmark people tell us we are thoughtful, but is that necessary? Do we need the constant reassurance that we are nice and thoughtful people? And VERY? Isn't that laying it on a bit thick?

2. Did we really spend time with the Hallmark people? Really? Did we sit and chat, have a brisket, share a laugh?

4. Best wishes? Are we getting married?

5. Your friends at Hallmark? Isn't this a bit presumptuous? What If I'm not that fond of the Hallmark people. I may have mixed feelings about them. Or I may indeed not like them at all, and am only using them for their free e-cards. (Which causes a special feeling don't you know)

Well... I suppose....
