Well, I did remember that it is my dog, Casey Lee's 4th birthday. Taking him to Sonic for a strawberry sundae. His favorite thing. Where else do you get "unconditional love" 365 days a year. :biglaugh:

After ten years of marriage and four kids later, my idea of romance is simply sending the kids to bed early and sharing a bowl of ice cream and snuggling in front of a good video. Sometimes we even manage to stay awake until the movie ends.

Hi All,

I was listening to the radio on the drive home yesterday and the Jock asked people to ring in about the big V day and romance stories. I was about to turn on the local cattle report when a lady rang and said that V day was also her birthday and her wedding anniversary. She went on to say that her husband was very romantic because they were married on her birthday and V Day. I bet if they asked the guy he would have said HE was LUCKY because V Day, Anniversary and B Day are all the same and he only has to remember 1 day a year. Lucky man.

I personaly, like the ladies remarks in this thread it is refreshing to finally hear that they also agree, that like Christmas, Valentines day is a commercial stunt. I bought my wife a Sapphire Ring last December a few weeks before her birthday (13th) and she thought it was an early birthday present. I bought her matching earings for her birthday. I bought her the Ring because she deserves it and I love her (Sorry guys it's the nature of the thread). I bought her a Laptop last week to celebrate the fact that she has been promoted to Manager of a local firm. Flowers die and love lives on. V day is every day. **** I think I should change my vote!

Here V. Day is celebrated mainly in cities and among youth (in colleges etc). But in recent years there has been some resistance for being 'commercial stunt', 'Western Influence' and 'not Indian' etc. So it's not really a very big affair here. In the rural and interior parts of India, I don't think many people even know about it.

Okay, I came into this late but here is my 2 cents worth.

V-Day is a manufactured holiday. Need I say more?

I do not want to receive the same gift thousands of other people will receive only because I should on this day.

My husband and I have been married for 19 years without ever celebrating V-Day. We have celebrated our love on many other days by many other means just because we wanted the other to know that we thought of or love the other. A surprise out of the blue is worth millions more than anything received on V-Day. In fact a women my husband works with told him she was very disappointed in him because he was not going to purchase a V-Day gift for me even after he explained our philosophy.

Love is not something that should be demanded one day of the year.

We spent Saturday just as we do any other day.

Cindy

Bah humbug

Did anyone read Marc's post of the origin - in the calendar? Maybe in its orginal format - you guys would 'like it' more. :eek:

As for the posts of "its just another day" - while I agree, sweeties should be sweet every day, what's "wrong" with a day to remind us what its all about. Sure the modern world turned it into another big income day for greeting cards and flowers, but not for nothing - its a better reason than secretary's day to buy a card. Would I like a "thinking of you" card at a random day during the year - absolutely, but in the dead of winter, its nice to put some red roses out, set a nice dinner, put some heart shaped candies in a dish and "celebrate." I don't need a box of chocolate, dozen roses (although I did get 6!) or fancy jewelry but what the heck - no reason not to get a little festive.


There used to be a "sweetest day" - I think in the midwest (Ohio) it gets more attention - in mid-October. Anyone know if it's still around?
