more bang for my buck

I lit the fuse of a little firecracker. and sent it on it's way. I hoped to hear the little "pop" but nothing happened. I only light them because I like to hear the bang! What's the use of lighting firecrackers if there is no pop or bang!

I sent out 4 cards, handmade ones, last week while I was on bedrest with a back injury. No pops, no bangs, no emails of receipt.....maybe I don't like snailmail! Maybe cards aren't firecrackers. Or maybe you have to light lots of firecrackers at once to hear them pop. Maybe they were too far away to hear the pop. Maybe I'll try again.
