Skip, it seems you misunderstand the circumstances around my birthday gift - if I have referred to it in previous posts.
The quality of the
birthday card or
"if you referred to it" are not really central to my message.
The point was that he is a card giver (some men aren't) and that card giving is not extraordinary. We were discussing your
"dilemma as to whether or not to send a one line email thanking him for its return or whether to maintain no contact." My apologies if my comments weren't helpful.
