Right now all I want to do is kill and skin a Vermont teddy bear, I am sick of their commericals.
Re: Valentine's Day
I'm off the hook this year. Shortly after new years, girlfriend and I stopped seeing each other.
Time to start dating again. Next meaningless holiday is Sweetest Day. I better start thinking about it now or it'll be cash in a card again :P
This country is filled with fools who are obsessed with "love" and "wealth", without knowing the meaning of either.
More Slimes inanity... I got a box of Godiva chocolate and stuffed Moose :o)
My song "The Valentine Gifts I've Gotten From You" can give men a hint about what they can do for the woman they love.
Here's the addy if you want a free download.

Happy Valentines Day!!
The clearly uneven rate of exchange, he said, "was an unmitigated disaster complete with tears, followed by breakup and nasty e-mails referring to my inability to 'validate her emotional needs.' "
Good grief. If she were a kind person, she'd be more embarrassed than he was.
There are probably no couples who consistently sail through Valentine's Day, each miraculously meeting and exceeding the other's expectations, neither one feeling put out or shortchanged.
BAH! My husband and I don't guilt ourselves into playing the Valentines game, and we don't feel short-changed either. I don't need the drama.
Happy Valentines day honey :~D
Most Valentine Days are a blur around here. As darling as my husband is the rest of the year, Valentine's Day always lands when we're broke. Last year he got me new house. Does that count? This year he'll be on holiday. Never any romantic dinners or the like. I have just gotten used to it over the years. Our anniversary is a bigger deal to him.
Let me restate that. MEN get dismissed by foolish women who think that life should imitate a Harelquin romance novel. This kind of woman thinks that any man who cannot read her mind and cater to her every flighty whim is unworthy.
I once gave an expensive sapphire pendant to a woman I was seeing, I can't remember now if it was birthday or Valentine's, but it cost me hundreds of dollars and I spent a lot of time looking for something I thought she'd like.
Little did I know that "Blue is not my color, how COULD you?" and amid much tears and whining we took it back to the store and exchanged it for something with emeralds instead. So much for MY "emotional needs". I felt about as loved and appreciated as an ATM machine.
The only consolation is, these women tend to end up unmarried and living with 23 cats.

We're going to the shooting range on Monday :)
every morning my husband makes me a cup of coffee... he's been doing this for ten years we've been together... it's like a daily little valentine for me... it means so much to me...
Bah, Valentine's Day is easy, creativity will always get me a wide margin of error (as long as it isn't so involved that it come across as gay.) Just shift the focus from a material gift to special effort/experiential.
It is Christmas that is the hardest holiday for the 'just started dating' zone.
put bluntly: to Blazes with this minefield of a day.
My fiance and I don't celebrate Valentine's day. He surprises me with enough throughout the year, and we both feel it's way too hyped to mean anything. We love each other every day. :-)
Valentine's Day is ok, if you're 17. I don't define romance as a bunch of corporate-made cluttering trinkets and sappy cards.
Can you believe what you started here?
I never thought it would go 500 posts.
At least with people who look at relationships selfishly or contractually. Happiness comes through commitment and self-sacrifice. That's what love is.
I just thank God I'm married so I don't have to go through that sh!t anymore.
