I'm not a rich guy, but even for me it's so easy to put a buck or two or five in the tip jar and get a thank you and whatever I might need in return. I can't believe guys on here spending fortunes on cardboard begrudging these hard working people such a small gesture of thanks. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

But I need those 20s to feed my cardboard addiction...

How about this for old school: My favorite everyday beer is (Hams) from the land of the sky blue water. Also I still get and read the local newspaper every day, have a land line at home. And when I do text I use one finger (which gets me more guff than anything else). And I like cards that are approximately 2x my age.

I made many trips to San Francisco in the 1960s and 70s, and it was always a thrill to be greeted by the beautiful Hamm's sign in action on top of the hilltop brewery.

Don't make me think about beer! Apparently, today marks 1200 days, but who's counting?

(Actually, in all seriousness, it's been fine.)

Do yourself a favor and pick up some good karma and good feelings to go along with your cardboard, you'll be glad you did!
