I am not a big fan of special days the Greeting Card Company's made up,

you may be in hot water.
My wife and I have been married 24 years (come August) and I do not need
these holidays to show her how much I love her....I try to do it
everyday. However I did get her a card and some chocolate covered
pretzels (her favorite) and I got a big hug and kiss for doing so.
Time to confess..........did you remember (if so, what did you get her),
forget or just blow it off (and what was her reaction)?
==================================

Being a retired American Greetings sales rep, I can't sympathize with
you. Valentines day is the second biggest holiday for card sales and it
put a lot of money in our pockets. And its the only one that men
outnumber the gals in buying. Also, about 70 % of those sales are on
the 13th of Feb. Sweetest Day, actually, the candy companies
invented that one, but the card companies jumped on the bandwagon
immediately. Over the years, the little lady has told me, "Don't buy
me roses!" I figured since she is Scot, she was just being frugal, so
this year I cast caution to the winds and got her roses and it turns out
she's allergic to them.......back to the store for carnations...

Happy boating, Norm
