Emerald Movers.
http://emerald-moving.com/My niece called in a panic. She had to move her stuff out of storage. Now. And it was the start of school. All the movers were booked. We lucked out, though.

He and I started a conversation and didn’t get to complete it because dinner was served… so after dinner was over, he asked me to write him a note — since he’d heard I…

Another idiot.
I stopped using the word “idiot” many years ago, because I realized nobody likes being called one. But this card was too funny to pass up — and since my brother’s in the placement business, I knew he was the right demographic to appreciate it. * Please Share
