I am not a big fan of special days the Greeting Card Company's made up,
including Valentines Day and Sweetest Day, but miss Valentines Day and 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)?

Dinner and two dozen roses ( picture on abpso). I hate valentines day. I
wish everyone a happy vd experience. The name should be changed to Hallmark
Day.

While at COSTCO getting the van's oil changed, I picked up two bouquets
of flowers...one for the wife and one for mom.
Both were pleased.

Here's a bit of trivia you might particularly enjoy. The greeting card
companies did not "make up" Valentines Day, and the original Valentinus
was a Christian priest who was later declared a saint by the church.

Back in the waning days of the Roman empire, one of the emperors
actually forbid young men and women to marry. The young men were
expected to serve in the army, travelling north to do battle with the
Germanic tribes. The unmarried (and therefore at least "officially"
virgin) young girls were awarded as prizes to soldiers who had served
with particular valor.

Each year in mid-February, the emperor would decree that all the names
of the unmarried young virgins should be wruitten on slips of paper and
put into a box. Soldiers returning from the front were allowed to draw
a name at random from the box, and would then be awarded the
companionship and sexual services of the young virgin for the following
year. While there was always the risk of some poor guy drawing the ugly
fat chick who talked too much, in a male dominated society like Rome
the young women probably got the worst of the bargain. The soldier
could simply walk away from a bad match, but the young woman had no
such option.

The Christian priest Valentinus openly defied the edict that forbid
young people to marry.
Valentinus would marry any young couple that asked him to do so- and
this of course diminished the supply of unmarried young women who could
be passed out to his legionaires.

Valentinus was arrested, and as a show of authority the emperor ordered
him executed on the day the names of virgins were drawn from the box-
February 14.

The "love notes" that get passed around on February 14 are St
Valentine's revenge.
Instead of men and women being forcibly coupled by the state with notes
drawn at random on February 14, they now send each other notes and
voluntarily pledge to love one another other for the following year, or
beyond.

By the way, I got my wife about 15 pounds of pot for Valentine's Day
.................


It's extremely ornate, covered with mosaic tiles, and I'm sure she'll
plant something in it within the next few weeks. :-)

My wife and I have been married for almost 50 years now. We go to Wal-Mart
on Feb 13th, pick out a card for each other, hand it to the other person,
have a laugh and a hug and put the card back on the shelf and leave. This
has been a source of laughs for about 25 years now! With the money we save
we go out to eat somewhere nice!

Pansy. Took her to Outback Steak House. got her a card. She got me
Divinity fudge. Life is good. And Valentines day was not created by
Hallmark, but in honor of St. Valentine. Hallmark has just cashed in on it.

She got me a nice card and a cute Hallmark Teddy Bear.

I got her two $.39 chocolates as I was checking out with a couple
bottles of Linderman's Merlot.

To my credit, I paid all the property tax, all the property insurance,
all the health insurance, all the utilities, all the maintenance
costs, contributed 90% of the labor to maintain our existence, 100% of
the groceries, 80% of the cooking, 95% of the dishes, and honestly,
maybe 5% of the laundry. If she want's to trade in the Hallmark card
and Teddy Bear (that I paid for) for someone willing to contribute
more to our existences, I'll be more than willing to pay for the
classified ad to find the dupe.

I ordered flowers via teleflora.com and they never got delivered. I'm
****ed this morning. Called them and they were just like "Oh, sorry,
we'll reimburse your credit card". I told them, are you really that
stupid to think that I'm just worried about the money? Damn it, I
wanted those flowers delivered to her work. It just goes to show you,
you can't trust anybody to do a damned thing. I mean, what to hell, all
they do is contact the local florist who is on their Teleflora network
with the information. They take the flowers, and deliver them. You'd
think they could get that right.....

Probably not your cup of tea, but undeniably, the kid is a huge talent. He
recently sold out the Sydney Opera House five nights running. Dates of his
upcoming US tour that have opened up to ticket sales are sold out. Watching
him perform is much like what I would imagine it was like watching a young
Sinatra perform at the Paramount in front of the Bobby Soxers. The chicks
just go freakin' wild. At 25 years of age, he has an enormous career in
front of him. In addition to his raw talent, he has surrounded himself with
top-rate management and production personnel. David Foster is his producer.
He tours with an unbelievably talented big band. It's great to see that
someone has picked up the torch of being a crooner, and he carries it well.

I got burned like that many years ago, and changed my tactics as a result. I
found a florist near my wife's office, walked in, and asked if they had
customers they delivered to regularly. They did, and they said they kept a
file of what each customer liked. I said "Put me in your file, and let's go
pick out some flowers, because I've never seen a predetermined arrangement
that I like. Make like you're walking through a garden with scissors". After
that, all I needed to do was call them. They always did a great job.

For some reason this reminds me of an old joke. When my wife and I got

Maybe the knuckleheads realized that a snowstorm like this, combined with
another 9/11-type thing could end the city for good, if they couldn't move
emergency workers.



For some reason this reminds me of an old joke. When my wife and I got
married, on our wedding night she asked me to give her 9" and make it

.......................

A woman's about to put on her bra, stops, and asks her husband, "Do you
think I should get my breasts enlarged? I mean...they always seem small to

"That's nuts. It can't be true". He says "Why not? It worked on your ass!"

Same in Long Island. They actually had to use both plows. :-)

Doug,
Ok, what made this 27" in. different than the 24" in the early 90's that
devastated NYC?


Maybe the knuckleheads realized that a snowstorm like this, combined with
another 9/11-type thing could end the city for good, if they couldn't move
emergency workers.


For some reason this reminds me of an old joke. When my wife and I got
married, on our wedding night she asked me to give her 9" and make it
hurt.

.......................

so I screwed her 3 times and hit her with a brick.


A woman's about to put on her bra, stops, and asks her husband, "Do you
think I should get my breasts enlarged? I mean...they always seem small to
me". Being a smart guy, he says "No, they're fine the way they are". She
presses the issue, and finally he says "Take some toilet paper and rub it up

To keep this on topic:

Gone Fishing

A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey I have been asked to go
fishing at a big lake up in Canada with my boss and several of his
friends. We'll be gone for a week."

"This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been
wanting," he continued, "So would you please pack me enough clothes for
a week and set out my rod and tackle box. We're leaving from the office
and I will swing by the house to pick my things up. Oh! Please pack my
new blue silk pajamas."

The wife thinks this sounds a little fishy but, being a good wife, she
does exactly what her husband asked.

The following weekend he comes home a little tired but otherwise looking
good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish.

He says, "Yes! Lot's of Walleye, some Bluegill, and a few Pike. But why
didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?"

The wife replies, "I did... they were in your tackle box."

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

Time to confess..........did you remember (if so, what did you get her),
forget or just blow it off (and what was her reaction)?

I got burned like that many years ago, and changed my tactics as a result.
I found a florist near my wife's office, walked in, and asked if they had
customers they delivered to regularly. They did, and they said they kept a
file of what each customer liked. I said "Put me in your file, and let's
go pick out some flowers, because I've never seen a predetermined
arrangement that I like. Make like you're walking through a garden with
scissors". After that, all I needed to do was call them. They always did a
great job.


I have all you guys beat.

Got her a Bill Dance signature, Quantum, Spinning rod and reel combo. :)

How can I say this nicely.... Tom is a decent singer, and would no doubt wow
the crowd at the lounge in the Holiday Inn in Derby Kansas, but he's not the
successor to the throne. Not by a long shot. He doesn't hold a candle to
Michael Bublé, or for that matter, Bobby Caldwell. His band, however,
appears to be quite good, and really makes the package listenable.

I've never heard him other than the web page music. I was actually looking
for the name of someone else who sings in the style of Sinatra who's name
escapes me, and happened to stumble upon the Tom Smith web site.
