Gently remind them about the colonoscopy

I like novelty e-cards as much as the next guy. They are, in fact, my preferred method of communicating with my creditors. Health group Regence offers a whole bunch. The point is to send them to friends and family to remind them, in a gentle, e-card-y way, that it's time for a checkup. There's quite an assortment: "How's the cholesterol?" "It's colonoscopy time," "Quit smoking support," "Shape up puffy." Now, I'll admit that I've let myself go. I subsist mainly on jelly donuts and discount lattes. But did I really need all of these e-cards, sent to me repeatedly, and in such rapid succession that my inbox crawled inside the hard-drive looking for a place to die? I suspect it was Fred, the guy who works in the cube next to mine, who sent them. He's been chuckling all day. I'd send him an Health eCard suggesting a lobotomy, but that's not one of the choices. TIME FOR A LOBOTOMY, FRED! Oh wait, I just typed that in all caps, like I was yelling—but I didn't really yell, so he couldn't have heard me. It's going to be one of those days.
