I need this card! When it comes to writing cards or letters I SUCK at it. If your birthday is coming up, expect a card that says "happy birthday! May all your dreams come true" or a slightly changed variation of it

Me too - that's why I only give funny and/or insulting cards. I'd much rather make people chuckle or gasp than tear up over some cheesy b******t.

    I don't understand why you think people's one-on-one jokes about their specific situation should take your personal feelings into account. My friend's mom passed away, but she doesn't get upset about my making jokes to others about my own mother. Some emotional self-control is very necessary to survive in this diverse world.
