February 15: Whitman's chocolates sampler, picture frame, Snoopy holographic pin and ceramic dish

Given to Dave from Mary.

A nuke, though, is a strong deterrent

The only way a chocolate sampler is any good is if there's a legend that comes with the package. I like the coconut, peanut butter, and nut combinations, giving a slight nod for dark chocolate coatings. But, the ones with the neon-colored fruit fillings...oh man! I'd take toenail clipping fillings rather than those. Cherry cordials are kind of in that in-between stage. There's a real piece of fruit in there, but the syrup can get all over if you are going for just a half-bite. I think the reason that people go for the half-bites is because they don't want to get one of those nasty fruit filled ones. Let's hope Dave's yum-yum likes them all.

Feb. 16 is "Do a Grouch a Favor" Day

-You went from engineer to online greeting card seller. How does that happen?: I started out in software training, then web design. I learned how to market products well, and from there, got into the internet marketing business.

-Is there a holiday that could use a card?: Yes, National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day [May 15]

-Sweetest Day is a fabricated holiday, created by a greeting card company, which is celebrated on the third Saturday in October in the Great Lakes region. Since you work with online cards, tell me a holiday your company will create: The Universal Fasting Day. People can have tea or water, but no food. A purely American invention. And the card designs will feature vast landscapes of barren desert.
