Poll question: The best thing about Valentine's Day is. . .
The only thing I really like about Valentine's Day is the conversation hearts candy. Other than that, I have no interest in this "holiday." You?

1. Best thing about Valentines Day
I married a man too intelligent to fall for the marketing crap that personifies this stupid holiday.

Kudos honey!

You are the best!

2. Can you clone your hubby for me please
I hate valentines day.

A dozen Roses on Valentines Day: $84.99
A dozen Roses on 364 other days of the year $9.99

Go figure.

When I was younger, my mom and I wouldn't celebrate Valentines day until the day after when all the candy was 75% off.

5. For me, it's...
...that for the first time in longer than I care to remember, I actually have somebody for whom to buy something for Valentine's Day this year. What a terrific feeling that is! :bounce: :loveya:

6. You mean
people really do get candy, flowers and jewelry on Valentine's Day????

All the men I have ever dated have convinced me that such gift-giving was a myth.

8. I remember one ex-boyfriend
who was so proud that he'd remembered to give me flowers for Valentine's Day. He handed me a brown paper sack. I looked inside to find what appeared to be clumps of dirt, or possibly dried dogshit. He said, proudly, "Look! I got you flowers!"

They were bulbs. I had to explain that any gift that requires me to grub in the dirt to achieve fulfilment is less than desirable. ;-)

10. Hallmark Day
The bookwoman and I have been married for close to 30 years. We have never celebrated "Hallmark Day".

Valentine's Day was nice in elementary school, but now it is a sorry day of inflated prices.

I kindingly say, "Everyday is Valentine's Day" with me. :)
