Default Found a bunch of TTUAC cards....

in the coupon bin at the pregnancy center. I took them all.

On one side it has a blurb about TTUAC with a picture of a husband and wife With their arms around each other looking longingly into each others eyes. Their tween dd is touching her mom's back, their YT son is hugging dad's legs, and their LE dd is reaching up with her arms to be picked up. And then it has their website.

On the back it has info about Created to be his Helpmeet. With a website.

There's 10 of them. I was going to just throw them away, but am thinking maybe I want to burn them.

I don't have a shredder. I'll probably just rip them up and put them in different trash cans in the house, so they are thrown away separately.

If they are the size of playing or baseball cards, you can clothes pin them to your kids' bikes and they sound like motorcycles. The problem we ran into with the cards is they wear out and then you have to get more. I think that might be a very fitting use for them.

Ni fire place, and it feels like spring weather here. They are the size of business cards. My grandparents burn all their paper type trash that can't be recycled. I'll just go throw them in there.

I'm kind of happy I found them, that way no one else will.

Lest they reassemble in the night and go a-hunting the one who so desecrated them, of course.

Zombie TTUAC cards. It's a legitimate fear.

Uh..yeah You can never be too careful with this stuff!

Dh is making a fire in the fireplace right now, so of course that's my thought/recommendation as well.

I have some ezzo info cards from Dr momma. I like that site but its not Christian. I think it would be awesome to have some GCM cards too - does anyone know if such a thing exists already?

Nice job removing them. I also vote burn and then chat with the center about them.
