Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's talk about this. Let's getting a lot of chat online.
Do you save birthday cards or Valentine's Day cards or
any cards that you get if now I'm talking about
the Hallmark cards. Yeah, the card card that has a
printed saying and maybe a little note or signature. Are
sure do you save those?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Cyan, there's a ceremonial part where like I get birthday
cards and I put them like on my mantle for
like the week of my birthday and probably like two
weeks after, and.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Then I save a few, Tania, I'm guessing you save everything.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
I save nothing? Really yeah, really, I say the ceremonial
like the if there's like really sweet ones, so I
do save if they're like very thoughtful and sweet. But
the generic ones that I get, I'll read them so
sweet and then I toss.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
But there's no system to my madness, Like I don't
know where these cards are, Like they're tucked into like
random drawers, nightstands somewhere in my office. Like it's they're saved,
but I just don't have like a system for them.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
I I I I have saved before I have saved,
so I don't know save or not saved. That is
the question if.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
You save from a significant other and then the relationship
betons you do have to get rid of those.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
What about pictures like.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Printed pictures, framed pictures. I feel like if you can't
have those up in your house when your new girlfriend.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
Arrives on your phone, Oh that's so hard to do.

Speaker 3 (01:24):

just so. But maybe your Instagram for sure.
