How can you make it special?
Open the car door for your lady.

(tips should/can be used anytime)

I open the car door for her all the time and I haven't gotten a tip yet. Is she just cheap or is tipping for that service only customary on Valentine's Day?

Hmmm.... Here's a tip... If you are going to claim that you open the car door for her all the time, it should actually be an accurate claim. However, I'm pretty sure the only time you've opened the car door for her is when her hands were full from carrying a six-pack of your favorite beer.

hmmm...surpises are good. Always think its romantic when in a movie the dude shows up totally unexpected just to say "I Can't live without you!!!"...but thats the movies.

Best line ever was at the end of when Harry Met Sally...and Harry showed up unexpected. *sniff*

Yogi, I almost did the same thing. I have to go to Gainesville and was going to crash with arclite Thur night. Then it hit me, I can't spend Valentine's day with arc. Luckily, I was able to move it til next Wed. I booked the flight then realized I have an all day meeting on Thur. Crap.

My sis lives in B'ham and offered to keep the kids while MY WIFE AND I went out. We went out last Sat so I think our evening will consist of filling up the whirlpool and relaxing in the tub with a couple glasses of wine. Works for me.

A friend just offered to run off with me and live in a tent and eat worms and drink rainwater.
I think I rather go with sweetpea and have fat little birds instead of worms.

Tip: When you send flowers.....SIGN THE CARD!

1. To take credit
2. To make sure the right person receives the thank you phone call.

Awkward

LOL...it JUST started....I sent flowers to one of the female "senior staffers" (think Catbert) who I am pretty sure is having at least Two affairs (security cameras don't lie) that we know of.....the card is signed LOVE!"

LOL now the kicker....she has a Hubby, and two "friends"...plus some other occasionals....this is the best $40.00 I ever spent....(LOL)

Vday tip one: When your girly fixes something new for dinner and it doens't quite turn out right...under no NO circumstances do you insult her cooking in front of her "friends" (and by friends I really mean enemies)

In the south, we were taught never to criticize the cook in public.

But bygod, once you get back home, anything goes. There have been some interesting discussions that began with the phrase "what was that sch!t?"...

well firstly, no one was forced to eat it. Secondly, the mutual friends (enemies rather) were not party to the dinner and thus were not exposed to the strange new dish.

It was a recipie i got off the back of a hot sauce bottle. I love that particular hot sauce and I thought hey, surely chicken would be great doused in this stuff as per the directions. Well...it wasn't. But it wasn't inedible either. It just wasn't great. Therefore any comments whatsoever alone or in front of others was entirely unnecessary!
