Man, Pop Rivit...you are just a cut above the crowd! Why doesn't everyone think and act like you do?

Oh yeah...you're pompous.

And no, I don't own a controlling interest in a florist, there isn't enough return on investment. You are more than welcome to ignore my posts and my viewpoints if they get under your skin and continue to send you into tizzy fits.

I did the same thing for my wife. She liked the card better than halmark's. Guess it's just the personal touch.

Myself and my g/f think the same way about Valentines Day. You should be showing love to your other half everyday, not just one day a year.

ahaha, the 'ho'. That's where my wife used to eat in college with her buddies and that's what they'd call it. I'm guessing you are around the Vermillion area?

Mercy sake, Valentines and hearts are out and oil is in. My how things have changed since 1955.

Valentine's Day is pretty much all about the woman in the relationship. Men buy them flowers, jewelry, etc and don't really care about the holiday as long as their woman is happy. That's why, exactly one month later on March 14th, there's "Valentine's Day for guys," AKA Steak and a [censored] Day. Yes, it really exsists, and yes my fiance and I actually celebrate it.

Thursday she left me a message on the fridge. I got her a donation to unicef in here name.

Thursday night we may have shared some chocolate in front of the tv. but then again we do that most weeks.
