Next week is Valentine's Day which for some of us if we are single can be depressing on the other hand we do not have the dilemma will We buy the right bottle of perfume, wine or box of chocolates. Will we pick the right restaurant, movie or play.
Instead of concentrating on the lack of a partner at the time of year lets look at the positives of our lives as singles. Places we can go, things we can do without having to negotiate with a partner.
Some may have children or elderly parents which means you are restricted but even so these are family members that most times offer unconditional love and support even if at times it does not seem like it. A partner gives love but often conditional love, a relationship that has to be worked at rather than being born into. There are great rewards in both and pressures in both.
As singles we can also appreciate and enjoy seeing happy couples this Valentines and sympathising with those who are just acting it out and being thankful once again that being single is preferable in many cases to pretending.
Be positive lets think of happy past Valentine Days maybe as a child for a lot of women when your father made you feel special. I know several families where the father always sends valentine cards to his daughters even though they are grown just to make sure they are not forgotten.
Come on all lets have fun and not dwell on what we do not have but celebrate that what we do have.
You sure that's a good idea? ;)
Of course it is...;)
They're here, and good FRiends of ours, no? ;)
I have graduated to Jack Bauer facts.
Don't tell me THEY'RE joining us!
What is THAT?
OMG. Get these commies off my screen!
Why?
Who? The silly people with lampshades on their heads or Phil? :P
Cuz I ran out of Chuck Norris ones.
In high school Jack Bauer was voted "Most Likely to Kill the Foreign Kid"...
why, it's a REAL communist party (LOL) 8^)
the thought of a drunken marx running around with a yellow lampshade on his head is funny in its own right...
Jack Bauer is the leading cause of death among middle eastern men.
The "Smoothie" was invented when Jack Bauer needed information from a banana.
Osama Bin Laden hides under the covers in his bedroom every Monday night from 9 to 10 and cries.
Michael Jackson once told Jack Bauer to "beat it," and Jack Bauer beat the black out of him. Thus began Michael Jackson's downward spiral.
Phil and Max, and everyone here...
That is pretty funny.
Please send the communists home.
see 331 8^)
LOL!
Sure, they're invited. As long as they promise not to wear the lampshades on their heads. ;)
it's just a crazy picture making fun of communists 8^)
