Along with the onset of autumn, I've noticed a little change in my thought processes. I'm spending more time in daydreams, spacing off, and thinking about anything and everything. Nothing frantic, just a constant lull where I spend the majority of my time just thinking. And nothing too deep either. I spent a chunk of time today thinking about why people buy greeting cards. It was borderline stupid.
i need to watch more tv and kill off some of these brain cells.

Greeting cards started out as simple slips of papyrus, that were exchanged by both the Egyptians and Chinese as messages of goodwill. As the concept of greeting cards evolved, Europeans began to send them to one another for holidays such as Valentine's Day – and this occurred as early as the 1400's. Of course, these cards were handmade and expensive so not everyone could afford to send greeting cards for their holiday well-wishes.
Greeting cards really hit the mainstream in the 1850's, when commercial printing as well as the invention of the postage stamp started to allow people all over the world to send greeting cards to their loved ones. So I guess people buy them because they can...
Vin is just a wealth of information...
