Do you recognize me?
I think this is especially for Jana, to have a good laugh on my account.
Farid brought his sun signs book (the US MC bible) and so I read what it says about Libras. Hehe, I guess the book is quite right...
The author offers the idea of one man and 12 women discussing the subject of calling cards. Should people use them today, is it old-fashioned, and what should they look like? So the 12 women, each being born in different zodiac sing, answer to this question. And guess who is Libra!? :o)
Actually, I will not indicate any sign, so you (women) can as well try to find which answer fits you the most and then find out if the answer really applies to your zodiac sign or not :o).
# Do not need them. I use the telephone.
# It is rare that I go calling. People visit me.
# Calling cards! Who has time for calling cards?
# Well, if they were really wild, and impressive looking...
# I will have to check Emily Post and see exactly what she says.
# My gawd! You mean people still take time for that junk?
# If they are not home, they miss me. It is their loss, not mine.
# I wonder if it is raining outside? I thought I heard thunder.
# Cards are so impersonal. I would rather write a note.
# I always sense when people are not there, and I only call on them when I get a subliminal message they want to see me.
# The custom is perfectly proper. But there is no point in discussing the design. If it is not engraved, it is not a calling card.
# Well, it all depends. If you want to do the correct thing, you should have them. It is a charming gesture. On the other hand, using them might seem pretentious today, and the modern woman is too busy to bother with them. Of couse, you have to consider the reason behind the custom. Then again, there are people who cannot afford calling cards. If it is a strain on the budget, they are not really necessary. Looking at the other side of it, however, I cannot help feeling the beauty and grace of yesterday is missing in today's frantic pace, so it might be money well spent. I suppose they should be engraved. Yet, it is true that something different would reflect the individual personality. A creative person might be misunderstood by very social people, you know? I mean, the Rockefellers would think it was gauche. On reflection, who calls on the Rockefellers? Your own friends would love your being original, but plain engraving is probably more acceptable. At least I think it should be. But still, well...
And, please, do not say it is obvious and that it did take you some time to find out which is the Libra answer. On the other hand, if you find out straight away, it means you know me quite well. Then again, I do not really mind you guessing right away. I mean, it is kinda nice, right? But still, well... you know... ;o)
