Good choice, my dear!
I AM that GOOD.
Funny, I don't like expensive jewelry any more than I 'like' Teddy Bears. I must really be an oddball among women.
"GREEN is my favorite Valentine color."
RIBBIT! RIBBIT!

What an entertaining piece, PD!
It so happens that for awhile now I've done a similar thing- on the other end- I've answered the phones for 3 days (13th, 14th and 15th)for a couple of florist friends- as they were frantically arranging vases and baskets for delivery.
I took orders from men spending $100-$200 on some roses THAT WILL BE DEAD IN 7 DAYS. Here's what I noticed- for the most part these fellows were humorless, impatient and demanding.
After several hours of hearing the same tone from nearly all the men ordering I had an "Aha" moment. They were forced to do this by Hallmark, FTD and Vermont Teddy Bears. Clearly, for the majority of these men- if their girlriend or wife didn't receive these flowers- there would be hell to pay. Some of them even said as much, and grumbled about the whole ordeal.
You have my admiration and respect PD! It's a helluva culture we live in, eh?
My favorite "complaint" call came this afternoon. I answered the phone- the first words out of the woman's mouth were "Why didn't my boyfriend send me roses"?? Honest. That's what she said. I said..well..if you tell me his name and your name- I'll look in our orders to see if there's one there for you. Her reply? "I'm not giving my name to you- you're in some shop I don't even know".
I thanked her for calling and said good-bye.
Still wondering about her hours later...did she go off her meds- or is she taking too many...
I will never deliver another flower, balloon, stuffed animal, balloon, plant, balloon in my life.
But, I will accept them, of course. (not the balloon)
I take it you WOULD accept the two bottles of Scotch...
Girls there's your cue!
LOL! I was just reading this thread. I sent hubby a dozen red roses at work for Valentines Day.
LOL. I'm telling you, this holiday should be outlawed. Men ARE forced to participate, and many of the women are not grateful but in fact, more suspicious after getting their flowers and stuff. I have come up with a new idea. Next year, if I have a girlfriend, I'm going to buy her a rose bush so she can cut her own damn flowers. If she kills it I am still off the hook.
Unprecedented? You mean it never happened before? You poor son-of-a-gun, how long have you been married?
Just kidding, just kidding
LOL...14 years...and yes, certain reactions become unprecedented after that cumulation of time.
Oh! For a man who makes love to my mind..."
That's a two-way street, isn't it? :-)
Oh yeahhhhhhh. ;o)
GET A ROOM!!!
;-)
LOL Sorry.
Nice...but even above and beyond?:
"Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! For a man who makes love to my mind"?? (I'm sure you'd prefer BOTH ;-)
WITH A CHANDELIER! ;-)
I'm TOO SHY to say anything more.
Of course!!!!
Go play Tommy Lee and Pamela!
