What did you do for Valentine's Day?
My wife gave me a illustrated book on Tanks. I gave her some anti-Dook screeds. We are going to two basketball games this weekend.
Tonight is rack of lamb, mini herb roasted potatoes, and asparagus for dinner. Good red wine.
etc. 8)
I cleared out two feet of snow for us and two neighbors and broke my already feeble body in the process. The Wife is allegedly 'turned on' by this. Score.

Wife will be even "more turned on" if you clean the toilets!
Went up to the range and put 100 rounds through the .204 at 100 and 200m. Then shot big ol' holes in things at 15-25m with the shotgun. Good times.
Hmm, toilets...*pondering*
Fk all - I'm waving the banner for all the single gamers
I bought some flowers for the wife (mine, not yours, although I did think about it) last night. I bought some inexpensive games for myself on Steam. Am thinking of buying a couple of "funny" t-shirts as well, have the checkout up in another tab but am still thinking about it.
Talk about passion, whew.
The Wife and I have discussed getting two 'Talk to Me Goose' t-shirts from CafePress for our long, often eventful drives together. Maybe that would be a good gift for today?
I have convinced the (future) Wife, that Valentine's Day is nothing more than a made up holiday that makes the card and candy companies rich. If I need a mandatory day to show her how much I feel about her, then I don't need to be with her. Each day is a joy and I try to find some way to show her how much she means to me. So, no Valentine's Day crap in this house [/rantoff]
BRAVO SIR! BRAVO!
All that and I'm still going to get laid ;)
Pffft. That's the kind of shit they pull to get you to marry them in the first place.
This Valentine's Day: "Oh Metaldog, you're so right! Valentine's Day is such a made up holiday....I don't need flowers or dinner one day a year to know how special I am to you...."
Next Valentine's Day: "I can't believe you didn't even get me some damn flowers for Valentine's Day. And how come you never take me anywhere nice?!"
LOL. Good luck, dude. 8)
That's why I opted for a fern instead.

Thanks, man. You could be right, but, I think this one has laid all her cards on the table and it all looks good. :)

I gave her a card, took her out to eat, and then gave her a dozen roses. She gave me a card and a gift. I feel okay with that and so does she so I have no complaints.

This.... just this is all any innocent, susceptible grog needs to read to know the truth
This right here was my year two
Year 3 was an awesome bunch of flowers, my reward? 'where's my fking card?' And the flowers been thrown in the bin
That's harsh. No wonder you now lust after Baltic women.

I lust after peace and quiet, good whisky over a good game, walks with my daughter - Baltic women are viewed from afar, in the shadows, behind a newspaper....... they're scary ass say as it is, no messing women!
I bet the ginger Sherman won't be too picky! And probably cheap, too. ;)
She's a sight to behold
Who's the actress that played miss trunchbull in Matilda?
She'd use me like a wet wipe
Matilda is one of my all time favorite movies. Makes me cry every time I watch it.
If you think about it Valentine's Day is just a form of legal prostitution. You give her gifts take her somewhere nice and whats the one thing you expect at the end of the night .... ::) ;D
^You make that sound like a bad thing.
Some could make the same argument for marriage, actually.
I got up and made her a cup of tea.
After being together for 44 years, and married for 39, we don't bother too much with the Valentines stuff. The fact that we're still together and happy must prove something.
44 years...God bless you and Mrs. Bawb! That's a lot of frying pans.
Aye, lad. You're not wrong.
Pretty much never watching TV or listening to the radio meant I had completely forgotten about Valentine's Day...until getting to work and finding the lunch room jammed with cupcakes, candy and all sorts of other sugary crap. We spent the entire shift locked firmly within a sugar coma. ;D

Seriously
MD, I'm starting to think someone cloned your brain and had it surgically implanted into my own skull at birth -- such is the frequency with which my thoughts seem to echo your own...
No kidding, those are precisely my own feelings on Valentine's Day. Happily, my not-girlfriend's views on Feb. 14 are very similar -- she couldn't care less, it's just another day to her -- so no pressure for me. :)

Forty-four years?! Holy crud, you must be even more ancient than I imagined! :P
Seriously, though, congrats on you and the missus. May you enjoy many more years together. 8)
I'm probably even older than Windi, but better looking ::)

Windy digs up fossils and shit.

Congrats on the longevity of your relationship, Bob. It seems like most people nowadays don't stay married to the same person that long. I envy you.
Thanks, Greybriar. I think the secret is 'There are no bosses in this relationship, just do as you're told' :-))
I thought it was, "Speak softly and carry a big frying pan." ;)
^LOL - yeah, that as well!
