Well, it has a chance to get better, of course. Valentine's Day can better itself to me. The ball's in its court.

[ilovew]

I HATE Valentine's Day. It should be abolished. Nothing reminds me that I still don't have a boyfriend quite like Valentine's.

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

No no no no no no no.

The ball is in YOUR court. You have much to learn, my young Padawan learner.

Valentine's Day is a terrible holiday.

There you go again, P. Don't make me come over there and slap you.

'Sweetest Day' is NOT a holiday.

Finding men to date & share activities with is easy. finding someone to share your life with is more complex. The older I get the more I realize it is much better to be alone than with the wrong person. I am more discriminating & much more open & honest right off the bat if I don't feel chemistry. Not right to lead someone along. But many men I have found are quite happy for the socialization ... and maybe are just as happy they don't have the pressures of commitment etc.

I am trusting God in this. completely.

Now see? HERE'S someone with some good sense. Good perspective.

[Kate of Spice Island]

I am ok...th eson is all married off and such. I have a nasty cold/sinus thing going on and will be glad when that clears up.

ROFL I never thought I'd hear a girl say that!

About the weather here, we are expecting a cold night. Our furnace is not working as good as it should. I had to hit the reset button once today(I think it just has dirty contacts in the relay) and then later, The blower didn't want to start. I rotated it by hand, it seemed free, and then, after I turned the power back on, the blower and burner started fine, and has been ok since.

Still, I am worried. Nothing like it getting down below 20f. and having no heat in the house. At least, when the furnace does act up, I can usually get it going again, even if only for a little while.

About V-day-- I too got several "virtual" valentines cards", from ladies here, and from a couple on CM, too!!

Better than nothing, I reckon!!

[DollyCali]

I am between Cleveland & Akron. I kayak in cuyahoga, Lake Erie, many marshes, West branch etc..

Bike between 2-3,000 miles/year

[proud_yank]

That is quite the story of you and your husband BTW!

[ilovew]

*claps* Yay! I like people who agree with me :)

[ken5050]

Good evening, all..did you perchance see this thread "Sex and the Single Boomer" and BTW..DO read the entire article....

Is this what I have to look forward to in the imminent future?..I may consider trying ultra-marathons instead...I mean, the idea of "joint HIV testing" for a date is a little hard to fathom..

[ilovew]

I wouldn't say it if I had a boyfriend. But since I don't...Valentine's sucks.

[Kate of Spice Island]

TY, he will be three months old on Sunday. And already on the no fly list...

My other son is going to photoshop a beard on him.

[pcottraux]

Like Charlie Brown said, "I know nobody likes me. Why do we have to have a Valentine's Day to confirm it?"

[DollyCali]

When I lived in Cincinnati I went to church in White Oak.. white Oak Christian. I would be by now they have a large active singles group with great gals. I have some family in west chester.. Next time we speak, I will find out if they have someone in mind for you...

[Maximus_Ridiculousness]

'Sweetest Day' is the 3rd Saturday in October.

[pcottraux]

Here in NC, the weather is pretty much consistently cold without snowing.

You know, I don't think I got any virtual Valentine's on FR. Though I gave plenty out, and to give is better than to receive, I guess.

[DollyCali]

Too funny!
