    aw, that's cute :D

    Lets see. I will have my dad crying, giving me chocolate and saying how this is the last year I will be his valentine because next time I will have a boyfriend....which he says every valentines day.

    And then I will call my bestfriend and we will be new yorkers and go to the cheesecake factory and fill that empty void where love is suppose to be with lots of cake.

    she will talk about the guy she likes and how he's a prick. I'll agree, make her laugh, and probably go home and call my grandma.


    woo

    I like any excuse to get flowers, chocolate, and champagne. I got the hubby a bottle of Gray Goose.

    It's just an excuse to indulge in a little romantic splurge. Nothing wrong with that.

    The only thing worst than Valentines day is hearing people bitch about Valentines day being corporate bullshit. It's pretty harmless, really, and an excuse to have some fun, give gifts, etc. What's so wrong with that? :$

    Happy Valentines Day!

    Any excuse to celebrate is alright with me. Plus I love cheesy love stuff. And kinky love stuff. And Vday is so perfect for that.

    Having lived in the UK for a few years, I can say without a shadow of doubt that 'The Daily Mail' is a badly written right-wing rag that usually leads with inflamatory headlines like,"SCUM" or the likes, when reporting 'the news'.

    The rest of the paper is filled with pap like the article you just posted.

    As a side thought though, a certain percentage(due to the laws of probability) of men who don't buy flowers for their wives must be having affairs.

    I agree. But it's still nice like a week after valentines when all the stores throw out old valentines stuff in the dumpsters and you get free chocolate!

    UK's version of the New York Post!!!

    Does it cost a quarter and leave ink on your finger tips?

    Holidays should be sponsored. For example Valentine's Day could be brought to you by the Sugar Consortium; Veteran's Day by Guns and Ammo Magazine; Labor Day by Budweiser; and Thanksgiving by Ocean Spray.

    Finger-tips? Not mine.

    I was wondering why my ring was always stained whenever I lived there.:)

    KC. I really understand where you are coming from. The pressure to conform, to buy shit cos everybody else is. I just can't get worked up about it tonight, or sleep for that matter. I am very happy today.
