- Go to Am I Shrinking? Damn! Just Before I Thought I Couldn’t Get Any Smaller!
Justsouno, thanks for the head's up on your new blog!
You can be sure I will check it out. But, how do we know what's fiction and what's true? Is that the challenge? Oh, and I'm not so sure I like that title. Doesn't seem quite fitting IMO.

JJ,
Actually, my feet (toes) do touch the pedals (yes, I have pedals) in my car but I have to have the seat pulled way up forward. As far as working on my laptop in the pool, it's not plugged in and I have good balance.

Spiffy,
Brouhaha is the deal. It's important to overdo everything with great splendor, decorum, and ceremonial ostentation. Some call it Panache or Verve. I tend to lean a bit toward Verve. It's a newly rediscovered word of mine. Anyway, how impressed would you be by Julius Caeser if he walked onto the steps of the Parthenon and instead of ''et tu Brute'' and a dramatic dying scene with trumpets and flags, he said ''Brutus, you Motherfucking Asshole Sonofabitch'' and dropped dead? No sign of even a Caeser Salad. Close, Niñita Mía, but no cigar.
What was I talking about? OH!! The giant card. Well, it was a touch of Panache, but you aren't forgetting it, are you? You even did a post about it. And don't worry about shrinking until your feet don't touch the car pedals. (Your car does have pedals, doesn't it? I sure hope you don't have a gas powered one.)
And you loll in the pool with your laptop? Mama Mia. What happens when that goes for a dip?
You a fool, or a Jivin' Mama? Lordy. I better turn off my mouth. Foot gettin' a little too close.
....................

That's one hell of a "thank you" card! You must have done something really great!

Symph,
I have started to throw out some cards that aren't too "personal" cause I realized I was accumulating boxes of them!
I have enough crap around.

Just FYI
I watched Mr. Rodgers when I was little and one thing I did learn was..."You can never go down, never go down, never go down the drain!"

I got one of those huge cards the other week --
it was a thank you for something or other, and it featured this huge, disturbed looking bunny wearing shades. What the hell is this? The implications are endless.
I'm with you, Young Miss, when you get something like that, if you're remotely paranoid, you start to ask yourself the damndest questions.
And whoever said the mailman remembers those things is right, too. I know the nosey flog thought it was some kinda "plain brown wrapper" package that people order out of the backs of magazines they had to order out of the backs of other magazines. Make ya feel like Boo Radley, or something.

I send them to embarrass my friends!
You just
know that a huge card is going to stick out in a mail carrier's mind!

I've noticed that movie titles get abbreviated now too. Like Independence Day was ID4 or something...

Aww, OBP, I'm glad I can make ya laugh!
I'll be sure that me or M puts the drain in the sink. I am flattered to know that you'd miss me if I slipped into the land of the kitchen sink drain. That would actually be pretty scary. All those icky rotten food particals and miscellaneous body parts I, er, um, uh, never mind. Uh, yeeeaaahhh, it would be gross. Yeah, that's all I meant.

HolyG,
Most definitely! KFC, "Micky D's", BK, just to name a few food chains. So why is it that food chains and companies abreviate more to be "less" words and our "stuff" just seems to become BIGGER?

That's gotta be a lotta extra postage and even if given in person, kinda embarrassing to walk out with a poster-sized card!

I love the kitchen sink line! I've noticed that food and objects - things - are getting larger, but words are getting smaller. Have you noticed how everything is an abbreviation or acronym these days? I think it all started when Kentucky Fried Chicken became just
KFC.
