And February's a short month, too.If you send a $25 gift certificate to Walmart or Costco, you're just a cheap bastard.If you pass along a few cookies your wife managed to bake, all they're thinking about is that their sweat, blood, and tears went to fund her free time potting around in the kitchen, having the perfect Christmas while they were sweating through doubles at the plant.Maybe you think that if you cut them a $50 or $100 break on the rent, that would be nice.
