70 Cards and Envelopes
FOUND by Paul Garmon in Boston, Massachusetts
Just a little note that brightened my day when I found it while moving our office. I have no idea who wrote it or to whom it was addressed (or even what it was about!).

sounds like christmas is coming...

I'm ultra-psyched to get you card in my envelope, so to speak.

I have a filthy, filthy mind.

Is Louis one of those rare guys who is helping write thank you notes from his recent wedding to the ultra-psyched Christine? If so, she'll show her appreciation...and it won't be in writing. wink

Okay, okay, okay... can't Christine be ultra-psyched without the bum-chicka-bow-wow porn music starting up?

I think she's psyched about sending out invitations to their weeding, looking forward to the day with family and friends, and, well... bum-chicka-bow-wow!

Feeling in coherent
I think she's ultra-psyched to unload this envelope stuffing job onto someone else.

I think LOUIS (as it says) is thrilled to be getting these cards and envelopes. Maybe they're for an invite to a party, or thank-you letters? (Saves him the $ and the run-around)
And CHRISTINE is just ultra-psyched to be seeing her LOUIS...and to be able to help him out, as well.

HMMMMM...maybe she just wants to be invited to the *shin-dig*?

"shin-dig"

That always sounds so painful...

She's got me dizzy
She sees me through to the end
She's got me in her hands
And there's no use in pretending

@ GLORIA- LOL! Never thought of it that way...and that's a very painful thought!!! OUCH....

@ PUCKHOG- Are those lyrics from a song, sung by KISS?

@Gloria, if you invite someone to your weeding, you will surely have a shin-dig! But what could be more fun than a weeding shin-dig with friends and family!

My father is turning 83 soon and he has a community garden with corn as high as an elephant's eye. He wants to have his party there, so I guess we'll be having a weeding shin-dig in a couple of weeks!

I don't think Christine and Louis are together at all. She's had an office-crush on him for a long time, but he's marrying someone else.

The offer of 70 cards & envelopes is her last-ditch effort: Notice me! Notice me!

And every time I look at it, I think it says "ultra-psychic". She just KNEW he needed those cards, man.

Me too, I thought ultra-psychic!

I can always use approximately 70 cards and envelopes.

I figure Christine doesn't need to send cards to people anymore since she is becoming Ultra-Psychic. Louis obviously has no such abilities. I thought she said "I'm glad your EAR use them." Which made no sense to me, but I only have 5 senses... none of that extra-sensory stuff here.

I think the "see you soon" shows that Christine and Louis don't live near one another, which means they aren't in a relationship together. Also, if it were for their wedding it would say "I'm glad WE can use them."

I think Loius is getting married to somebody else or is graduating. Those are the only two occasions I can think of that would call for 70+ cards to be sent out as announcements. Smaller things like Christenings or 40th birthday parties might apply too- if he knows that many people.

I think the "see you soon" shows that Christine knows what the cards will be used for b/c she will be invited and make it to the event.

sticking my nose in where it does not belong
Louis and Christine are siblings and they're planning their Mom and Dad's 50th wedding anniversary party. Louis is in charge of the guest list, and Christine has these leftover generic invites from another occasion.

What they don't know is that Mom and Dad are planning a divorce in celebration of fifty years together. ...<william wallace>Ffffffrreeeeeedommm!!</william wallace>

All in the family
Louis and Chirstine are brother and sister. Christine married a couple of years back and bought way too many Thank You cards. Louis just announced that he and long time girlfriend Marie will be marrying soon. Christine, who always got along well with Louis and Marie, happily shares the excess Thank You cards and looks forward to the upcoming nuptuals.

All in the family -- it's a rerun
Oops.

Yeah, what Christina in Illinois said.

@ PUCKHOG- COOL! I saw KISS in London, Ontario in 1979.
I was so in love with Paul Stanley...those were the days!

Puckhog in sane at an early age
I saw KISS in 1976 in Erie Pa when I was in 6th grade.
The next day my mom took me to the emergency room because I cut my frenum with a pair of scissors so I could stick my tongue out like Gene Simmons.
(It REALLY hurt but it paid off later as an adult.)

Well, *ovCOARSE* you do... Christine wrote it, and it was addressed to Louis!... silly.
