Our firm sends out email holiday wishes with a nice message and design by our graphic artist. We send it to a few hundred people every year. I get a handful of similar emails from other firms and companies at the end of the year.

What is your opinion of such “cards?”

  • Nice gesture, good to hear from you. Thanks.
  • I’ll give it a few seconds of thought, and move on.
  • Really? You’re wasting your time and mine
  • I delete before opening if I can tell what it is
  • Makes me very angry.

How’s your gift wrapping game?

  • I’m great with boxes but odd shapes just go in a gift bag. I’m average overall I guess.
  • I’m not very good at it. But I at least have wrapping paper and clear tape.
  • I’m terrible at gift wrapping. The gifts wrapped in newspaper held together with duct tape are mine.
  • I’m so bad at it I don’t even bother.
  • I just don’t wrap gifts.

I’ve long hated the couch I inherited from my parents and, though reluctant to buy a replacement because I would like to move and someday have room for a full-size couch, last week I finally caved replaced it with one that I (and Linden and Poe) like much better. With my brother’s help, old-couch was moved to the side of the road on Thursday and had a free sign stuck to it. And it sat there and sat there…

…but it was gone when I got home tonight, yay!!!

This got me to thinking, though, what if the new owners hate it so much they bring it back?

That doesn’t really happen, though right? Right?? Surely it’ss more trouble to return something than regift it where they live. I would hope…

Have you ever left a large piece of furniture outside marked “free” and have someone bring it back to where they’d took it from?

  • I’ve had a claimed free item returned to where I’d left it outside
  • Someone I know said they had a large free item returned to where it had been left outside
  • I’ve returned a large piece of furniture to the roadside of the original owner
  • I’ve never heard of a large piece of furniture making it’s way back home
