Who Suffers from DGB?
by DEANNA DAHLSAD
I have a brother-in-law that I adore. However, as is the case with most brother-in-laws, I never know what to get him. Worse yet, is the selection of a birthday card. This is partially due to the fact that our relationship is based mostly in teasing each other. That, and he's a guy - getting any fella a mushy sentimental card puts you on the 'eeiiiwwww list' for life. If I send him a mushy e-card to his office email, I can be certain that I will forever be referred to as 'Her' in less than flattering terms...
Brother-in-laws aren't the only difficult ones to get birthday cards for. What about that girl you meet a few weeks ago in chat? She mentioned her birthday, but you don't know her that well... but she's so sweet, you don't want to let her special day go by without wishing her well...
There are co-workers, grandparents, aunts, kids, and virtually any man
(I've ever met anyway)...
These are people who suffer from DGB: Difficult to Greet on Birthday-itus.
Those who wish to celebrate their birthdays also suffer. :(
If you are looking for a funny way to send birthday wishes to those people in your life who suffer from DGB, try BirthdaysBlow.com.
Quirky, strange & warped, these cards are funny enough to generate a genuine lol, or at least a smile; without any inappropriate stuff to get you or them in trouble.
It's an experience that will leave you all smiling.
