Moms can be such pushovers. Sometimes all it takes are a few well-chosen words, like "I respect you," to make her day. So if you forgot to send a Mother's Day gift, don't despair: there's still time to send an ecard! Better yet, send one for a good cause.

The Respect Campaign, devoted to the prevention of family violence, has an easy-to-send ecard that gives you plenty of space to tell your mom - or anyone, for that matter - why you look up to her. So throw together a few elegant lines about what she taught you about respecting yourself and make your mom's day.

You've Got Mail (and an STI)

DearSugar — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:00:00 -0800

There may be nothing as awkward as informing a previous sexual partner that you've exposed him or her to an STI, but it's also one of the best things that you can do. Unfortunately, many people think that shame outweighs doing what's right, and thus, STIs continue to thrive. Now InSpot.org, a site based in San Francisco, assists people in anonymously notifying their partners about possible exposure to an STI through email. According to Reuters:

InSpot.org uses the E-Card model to send messages like "I'm So Sorry" to notify people that they may have been exposed to a disease. It also offers information about getting tested and treatment.

The goal of the site is to reduce the prevalence of diseases like syphilis through more timely treatment and awareness. Okay, I know the e-card model does seem kind of tacky, and yes, we'd all rather have the person just tell us directly, but I think an anonymous email is better than no email at all. Do you agree? Would you use this if the circumstances were right?

Is a Relationship Resume a Good Idea?

DearSugar — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:00:00 -0800

Wouldn't it be nice if instead of a guy handing you his number, he handed you his resume? His relationship resume that is! The folks at Resumes For Relationships seem to think so. According to their website, for a fee you can store your entire dating history in their database and then shoot it over to your crush in an e-card.

I wouldn't recommend sending your history of your relationships to anyone, but I kind of like the concept. It could be like an online dating profile, but condensed, portable, and with personal references! Okay, now I'm just being silly, but in all seriousness, what do you think of this concept? Is this a smart idea? Would you feel comfortable giving yours out?

If Kenyan roses aren't your style, here's one more option for your civic-minded sweetheart: a valentine e-card from your friends at the Republican National Committee.

Here's another classic if you read more.
