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.
OK, I'll send them out if they begin donning drapery, lampshades, or window treatments...;)
as do i...
i still think it's hilarious--given the fact I'm stuck in a cesspool of academic marxism...8^)
Sounds like a plan then. Let the party begin! ;)
It is sorta funny.
alrighty. you did bring everything down, right?
I'm with him...I think it's hilarious.
no no no, you got it the other way around.
you see, Jack Bauer was a student of Norris...8^)
Once Jack Bauer becomes governor of California, Mexico will have an immigration problem.
oh, the beer. I forgot to pick up more beer. We're in a wine cellar and we're fresh out of beer.
BRB...;)
I was supposed to bring something down? Whoops...I got distracted...
OK...by request:
The Great Wall of China was originally created to keep Chuck Norris out. It failed miserably.
The quickest way to a man's heart is with Chuck Norris' fist.
When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes, ever.
Am I missing something here?
Yep...
Kieffer Sutherland is a character played by Jack Bauer when Bauer is not fighting terrorists.
Not sure I follow. She's not in the show...is she?
Who's birthday is it?
Today is Jon's 21st birthday!
