Its Jimmie, he has owned NASCAR since they implemented the chase. He is still the favorite in my opinion.
Guys, I'm sorry. I just realized my wife is part of the problem as to why greeting cards cost so dang much. Her coworker put her cat down, and my wife wanted to get her a card. She mentioned having trouble finding one, mentioning that one store didn't even have one card...not one...not that they had some, but they were dumb, they didn't even have one. I was confused as to why the store wouldn't have one sympathy card, but whatevs...
So this morning I decided that I shouldn't be coughing all over a whole bunch of people in close proximity in church, so we decided that I'd run to Target (where it's easier to avoid coughing on people) for some things, and I'd look for a card. So I'm like...you need a sympathy card. She says "no, a PET sympathy card." OK, a PET sympathy card, got it. She says "well, her cat died, so make sure it's not a dog one or something.
So now I realize that she's been running around town expecting that every store should stock "sorry your cat died" cards at all times. I should have realized it, every time she needs a birthday card, she insists that it be a Grandma birthday card, or a Nephew birthday card. Really, I should just count my blessings that we don't have any blended families in our immediate families, imagine her frustration at trying to find a "Ex-Step-Sister-in-law" birthday card.
I think I'm gonna have to sit her down for a talk tonight, or whenever she gets back from her search. When I texted her that I didn't find one at target, she trucked on down the road to continue the search herself.

Excuse me, but when you are talking on the phone and Im trying to watch tv, could you please go to your fiances room and do it so I can listen to the tv in peace? Thank you.
When I was in college, I used to buy the cheapest one, cross out whatever it said and write on there what it was for. I often gave birthday cards as graduation cards. People thought it was funny and I saved. Win-win.
But now, I've just realized how stupid cards are. You spend 4 bucks on them, they read it then throw it away. How dumb is that?
when I would be at DH's place in college, I rarely left his room because I didn't want to bug his roommates if they were watching tv/cooking whatever.
my MIL does that. I get daughter-in-law birthday cards. I wish there were a way to nicely tell her to just get a regular birthday card if she wants to give me a card. The DIL ones skive me out because that's what my ***** grandma would send to my mom on the birthdays she deemed worthy. And there were always passive aggressive little comments written inside.
Google cat sympathy card, than download or copy something and get it over with. Actually, have your wife do the google, not sure guys can handle the results. Just a quick look and I think I'll have to go back and retest for my man card because I think it might have been automatically revoked.
Edit: I did go briefly into anaphylactic shock but gave myself an epinephrine injection and am feeling better. Going to a vintage car show in Wayzata to complete my recovery. Cars!

She can personalize it and everything. I used to buy cards for everything, but they are so expensive now. I have have kids who can draw cards. Saves money and the grandparents eat that sentimental stuff up.
She wanted it to take to work tomorrow, and I will not give her that site, she'll be on there alla dang time.
Apparently, one of the Hy-Vee's had one. Whew!
I had texted her to go to the Hallmark store and mentioned the 'sorry you lost your cat' card, she came home and said that she didn't understand my text. I said "I didn't know you wanted a dead cat card when you said you were having trouble finding one." She said "I wasn't, I just wanted a pet loss card that didn't have a dog on it". At that point, I gave up.
So I'm doing a simulation for a person finance class right now where I have to fast forward a whole year. I walk away for a little bit to watch football and came back 20 minutes later to see if it was done yet. It simulated 2 whole days. Ugh. This is going to take a while
KC, just in case you didn't read it in the other thread, I thought I should notify you:
