How can we celebrate love when women have no clue what they want?


This "holiday" is a frace.

I know what you are talking about. I think that we should go to the strip club.

And you can also think of it this way. You can get more gear because you dont have to buy her any stuff. So go and get that new stove or something

Buddha bear,
That's a funny thing for a man to say, I know exactly what I want. I think a lot of men are'nt interested in love at all

Valentine's Day is my favorite Holiday. A dozen roses for a blow job is a bargain. Very romantic.

Yeah, Valentine's sucks for those of us w/o significant others. But my best friend never forgets about me, she brought me a really cool present last night! She takes good care of me. :)

I Agree...It Sucks
I think this Holiday has potential...if a dozen "secret admirer" cards to a dozen women doesn't get you something, then you're not trying hard enough.

Where's MY card???

Valentines Day is fun!! My wife and I go out on a date, which is cool to do after eight years of being married, I use the valet parking, get the best seats at the showroom, have a kick ass dinner. This year I got us second row seats to Tap Dogs at the El Dorado casino. I have not a clue what the hell the show is but my wife has been going on about it. Before the show we will have dinner at "The Grill". Some overpriced steak house in the El Dorado. It is expensive, but it is still cheaper than the sleeping bag I bought this winter. And mostly it is fun for both of us. We will stay up late and hang out and get drunk. Then after that we will go home play tag, but with some adult modifications to the rules......

It sure is fun! Tomorrow evening I’ll help our oldest daughter with homework while my wife makes dinner. After dinner she’ll get the baby bathed and into bed while I get the 4-year old ready, read her a story and tuck her in, then go pick up the oldest from dancing. By the time we both get showered and hit the bed, we’ll be ready for some serious shut-eye.

Romantic, no?

We don't have any kids, and so fewer responsibilities. Also, we are going out Friday, so we don't have to get to bed too soon. Have a happy V-Day anyway Violin.

Everyday is Valentine's Day!
Why do we need an excuse to do special things for our loved ones? Treat your sweetie like it's valentines day every single day. Or at least most of them...

I have been playing down St.V's Day all week. I am bad about the card holidays so I'm sure my lovely wife of 12 years thinks she's gettin' nothing. I bought her flowers and am showing up at work with the flowers and Chinees food for lunch.

My funny Valentine
Sweet, comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart

Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet, you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure - less than Greek?
Is your mouth - a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?

Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little Valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day

As I write this I am still LOL @ Centavo, and Gear Slut too,... a great combo early in the morning.

I always have mixed about Valentine's day. It seems like the florists and Hallmark have taken the holiday over (I guess the chocolate companies and the restaurant industry have a hand in it too). It feels everyone expects something... so its more of a landmine that'll blow up a relationship if you don't do it right, than an opportunity to show something special.

Nonetheless, I think I've picked a nice place to take her: a grand old restaurant with some tradition... a little anachronistic, but romantic and probably just right for Valentines day (Anthony's Pier 4, for those who know Boston).

I'd love to share my thoughts with y'all on this, but the only tail waggin' around MY house is my Golden Retriever, Tucker... She's devoted as hell, but, there ARE limitations.

Don't say it, you cretin.

My choices this evening are the gym, or ordering take-out with a few other single women from work. Suprisingly, I am not the least bit depressed about being "alone" on this day. I feel that life is taking on a new direction, and I've got plenty of friends and family who love me. Its all good!

I'm also going to try the old"spontaniousely sweeping everything off her desk and throw her down and ravage her right there at work" deal. Think I stand a chance?

The best thing you can do for someone is to sit down and hand write a good old fashioned love letter to them.

I got a phone call on Monday, a package for my boss to be picked up at the lobby door. SnowDude was waiting with a dozen long stemmed multi-color roses. He used a napkin to disguise his voice.

Tuesday we went shopping
The boards we demo'd last weekend

Then had a seafood dinner in Santa Monica.

Snow Nymph-
I like the snowboard symbolism.

That bacpac is just another BJ boy from Arkansas.
I wonder if his buddy Bill Clinton has to give up the roses too.

And as The Day Goes On It Sucks Even More
Go home for lunch thinking I might get a little romance in, only to find out she's pissed off at me...again.

I have been in and out of the dog house it seems for months.

Whatever I say, or whatever I do is just wrong anymore. Married in 1981, started dating in 1975.

I think it's about to come to an end though.

Maybe I'll be joining Kodiak soon.
