On a personal note, my mother told me she sent a box of thank-you notes, to my grown daughters because they didn't send Christmas Thank-you cards YET. I sent them a text and my eldest called and said "Gramma is like a Thank-you Nazi" and laughed because I was gullible to think she actually DID send self-addressed thank-you cards to me 20 years ago.
"Did you get that box of thank-you's I sent you?" she asked me back then.
"No Mom, I didn't." I laughed.
"Well, how would I know?" she said, "You didn't send me a thank-you card!" I almost explained the obvious, i.e. I can't thank her for something I didn't get. And I never got them!
Wait, she did it again and both Stephanie and Jessica say she's crazy. "Yeah, crazy like a fox." She has me blogging about it! The joy is in giving. Give your parents the joy of receiving thank-you cards! Then send them to my web-site?
On the professional side, nothing works better than a hand-written note. This internet stuff isn't the same as a few lines of thanks for getting a listing, selling a house, etc.
