skymedic 0 #101 January 24, 2003 Anne and I dont believe in V-day...we just have fun every day...and show it every day...makes life much more fun than to say that ONE day you have to have something EXTRA special for each other.... on that weekend I will drive the 300miles east and pick up my little girl and have her for a long weekend...it'll be another party fest at Anne's house again....cat houses and all..(my daughter has this thing with making cat houses out of newspaper and barbie boxes)....

Zinger 0 #102 January 24, 2003 ***...we just have fun every day...and show it every day...makes life much more fun than to say that ONE day you have to have something EXTRA special for each other.... Quote That reminds me of a old joke, I don't remember exactly how it goes but I'll wing it.When me and my girl first started going out we where in love, Made love everywhere, In the car,at the mall, in every room of the house even on the stairway and in the hall. Then we got married and had bedroom sex, Regular steady familiar sex in our own bed. Well that was years ago and now we advanced to "Hall sex Only" all the time. What's "Hall Sex" you ask?. Hall sex is when we see each other in the hall we look at each other and scream "Fuck YOU".... ------Have a good one!-------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouth 0 #103 January 24, 2003 Valentines Day is just another day here. Even when I was married my ex did nothing special for any holiday. Those of you who have seen my divorce presents to myself will understand now. I was thoughtful of myself when I filed for divorce simply because it was something I wanted and had been denied. Anyway, I am single and not dating anyone by choice. My life in the past two years has become more and more complicated to the point I simply don't have the time or energy it takes to have a relationship. I think you date or marry someone not for what they can or will give you, but for what they can or will share with you on a day to day basis. All that said I think several of you have the right idea...treat every day as special because we aren't guaranteed tomorrow. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

Pammi 0 #104 January 24, 2003 Quote I hate most all of these holidays, it's like to give more on one special day, you have to hold back on others. Give your all, every day, for tommorrow you may be dead! Good man Quote I do admit, however, that I will succumb to the pressure, buy a card, send her flowers to work (chicks just love lording that stuff over each other) and see if I can get a sitter for dinner. SMART, good man! Pammi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBile 0 #105 January 24, 2003 I'm a libran too, and I think Valentines day sucks too. Two out of two. Gerb I stir feelings in others they themselves don't understand. KA'CHOW ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meatmissile 0 #106 January 24, 2003 Valentines day is for guys who treat their SO's badly all year. It's basically a commercialised and internationally sanctioned opportunity for these guys to make "amends". Washing the dishes or giving my wife a massage on an arbitrary day is actually more work for me than buying flowers or whatever, and is therefore more significant. Spending money is easy. Spending time is important. -- ZZZzzzz.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #107 January 24, 2003 QuoteValentines day is for guys who treat their SO's badly all year. Really? I thought Valentine's Day was just a day to tell friends, family, etc that you do care about them. Since when did this holiday turn into one exclusively for couples?There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZipTie 0 #108 January 24, 2003 I like how roses go up to $50 to $60.Any other day there $20 a dozen. But how I have to go and order some yellow ones for the wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #109 January 24, 2003 It's Vday, you want to get married. A Jamaican resort for a week would be a nice honeymoon. Free food, wedding, hotel, etc would be nice. How can you make that happen? Free wedding in Jamica "But in terms of cost this can’t be beat. Where else are you going to get a free wedding, including the ceremony, food and a week’s honeymoon at a Jamaican resort?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vallerina 2 #112 January 24, 2003 Quote Like I said, I don't need a special day for that. I think you should show the people you care about that every day . I agree. You should....but, when I get into an argument with my mom, I'm probably not showing her that very well. I guess it's just a day to remind us that we should show people we care. (okay, i'm not very religious, just an example I could think of....) Why do you need one day to remember Jesus? Shouldn't you do that everyday? Why celebrate Christmas if you are already doing so? I don't think Valentine's Day is a big deal. It's only as tragic as a person makes it, and it's not the only day you should show someone you care. It's not the best holiday ever (that would be Halloween.)There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #116 January 24, 2003 QuoteUgh....I argue with everyone! If I care or not! If you see someone stepping in front of a bus, you yell a warning. Sometimes, we see others doing some action or putting themselves on a path that is analogous to this. We argue because we are trying to help or the person is trying to help us (in their opinion). Parents do a lot of that, it's in the "parent" job description. A lot of times, the perceived danger is based on the other person's life experience. It may not apply to today. Relationship advice, life goals, career choices... A lot different than 30 years ago. It's ok to argue as long as you do it right. Vday can be a day when you say "We don't get along on some topics at times, but I need to remind you that I still care." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KawiZX900 0 #118 January 24, 2003 yeah, screw valentines day, I'm looking FWD: to Palm Sunday. (inspired by friday funnies) being alone on Valentines day is not nearly half as bad as forgetting your girlfriends birthday, when you've been dating for 3 years. watch out!!! make up sex is good stuff though.... Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

NtheSeaOrSky 0 #123 January 25, 2003 Heres a thought... To turn Valentines Day from a wretched, bitter reminder of our past trials..........into something you look forward to. Take valentines cookies to a nursing home Volunteer at an orphanage reading to children Have neices, nephews, friends children?....take them out for a day (park, zoo, whatever) and make it a tradition (and the parents might like this one as well) Volunteer for the day at a shelter Volunteer at a local Humane society/shelter if you like animals Pamper yourself all day Or just skydive all day!Life is not fair and there are no guarantees...
