In UK we have greetings cards for just about everything, am I
right in saying this is rare elsewhere in Europe?

Can't speak for Europe, but it's certainly true in the U.S.!
(I've even seen one for "Congratulations on your divorce"!)

It's *rarer* here in France. It's hard to find much other than birthday &
new year cards. Others can be found but not much selection. For example, I
had a hard time finding a wedding anniversary card for my wife but I found a
few that were addressed to the couple.
In fact, I'm seriously considering going into the greeting card business.

Germans and Austrians have a lot of greeting cards. You can find them
even in grocery stores. I do particularly appreciate the funeral
greeting cards.

Why do you talk about him even when he's not here?

If I marked read the posts from people who argue with Mixi (Mixi's are already marked
read) I wonder how many posts would be left... I'm going with 30-35/day.

With all the software available, you could even design your
