I have mixed feelings about this day. It is sweet when the kids make me cards and my husband sent me a quick email to say Happy Valentine's Day. and that is really all I need. My mother in law, on the other hand, gets a bit carried away, but she does this all the time, she does not need a special day to do so.
Happy Valentine's Day, TFP.

Any day where the main celebratory food is CHOCOLATE has GOT to be a good day. ![]()

I'm morally opposed to the concept of Valentine's Day to be perfectly frank. Shesus put it best: it's not like just because the date is Feb 14 I feel more love toward onodrim or others than I did on Feb 13 or Feb 15. And if the people I love aren't aware of it, showing them that love because I'm "supposed to" today isn't going to bring them any closer to knowing.
But, if you enjoy celebrating Valentine's Day, more power to you I guess. Me...I'll laugh at mal's comic ![]() ![]()

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone...
![]() Although I need to find a way to get popular culture to recognize "Give a dollar to BigBen Day", I can't fault the good folks in the Chocolate, Floral, and Greeting Card industries. To everyone in love, please go crazy today. There are few moments in this life where society allows that, and this is one of them. Everyone, close your eyes, and imagine how many people are fucking, right now, in your city. Now imagine your province/state. Now imagine in your whole country. Now imagine how many people are gettin' on across the world. Awesome. Remember that scene from Amelie, where she counted the number of people having orgasms at that moment (quinze...)

![]() I don't celebrate it. I don't give out jewelry because it's Valentine's Day(OMG! How do I know he loves me unless he spends all our money on superfluous jewelry once a year? How?!?) and I don't give out cards (Happy Valentine's Day....Dad?!?). Maybe I'm a horrible guy, but it seems Valentine's Day surprises aren't romantic, they're sort of...obligatory. I mean, it's Valentine's Day...you know the SO is going to do something, right? It's Valentine's Day, they kind of have to. So, forget Valentine's Day. Give 'em chocolate and flowers everyday. Get on 'gettin' on' 365 days a year. Remember...I'll be thinking of you ![]()

Valentine's Day iritates the hell out of me. It's all so...obligatory.
On the other hand...today is also Mrs. O'Rights birthday. Therefore, I never forget it. Kinda cool, huh? Two birds with one stone kinda thing. ![]() Don't worry...she doesn't get "cheated". There's enough Bill to go around. ![]() ![]()

bah it's no holiday... I still have to go to class, people still have to go to work. Ithink its silly that there's a day that celebrates the decapitation of a saint and then we all just give chocolate, cards and then get it on with someone.
I mean you could do that any day. Seems redundant to me ![]() Either way, Spreading Love is something I'll tip my hat to, so happy Love day |

Happy VD.
I really dislike this holiday with its crass commercialism and whatnot (boy, that describes EVERY holiday these days). I refused to support the candy/flowers/whatnot industry by buying my boyfriend underwear for Valentines. Yes, UNDERWEAR. He needed underwear, so that's what I bought him. I did, however, buy some conversation hearts, but that's because I like their chalky taste.

Happy V-Day to all, but especially to Mal, the perpetually cranky. We love you especially because you are cranky. And, you are a good poster.
I am cranky too, but I am cranky and in love, so I guess my V-Day will be a good one!

Meh...hubby and I stopped celebrating Valentines years ago. I did buy him a card this year and some candy for him and the son...my son told me happy Valentines and gave me a kiss on the lips, which was the best thing I could have received anyway. Hubby's birthday is in a couple of weeks, I'd much rather put thought and time into his gift that day instead of such a commercial "holiday".

Being one that never really had a valentine, I dont see how I should be happy on this day. Not to mention I found out that my poli sci class started last Tuesday night and not today. It's turning out to be a pretty bad day for me.

It would be really cool if every person who loves another person, planned a "secret" Valentines Day just for the two of them...isn't that romantic?
Perhaps those are called Anniversaries for some.....not that I would know any more. Just curious. /tfp could start this new tradition if we wanted to do that/
