Damn! Another missed chance - if only I could remember the date. I could have put myself on display in an area where there is a lot of impulse buying. :)

Leap Year has been the traditional time that women can propose marriage. In many of today’s cultures, it is okay for a woman to propose marriage to a man. Society doesn’t look down on such women. However, that hasn’t always been the case. When the rules of courtship were stricter, women were only allowed to pop the question on one day every four years. That day was February 29th.

Next leap year: 2012

Dang, Cardi! Four more years of peace and quiet!
