RANT! Dumb women and Valentine's Day!

Spooky, your description of your relationship is beautiful ~ you are most fortunate to have such an experience. The world is full of folks who have never experienced such a thing, so it may not even occur to them that it could be this way.

Next time you hear comments about the value of mass-marketed romance, why don't you share what you shared with us? Who knows, you just might light a spark in someone's brain that lets them know there's more out there . . .

Thanks. Oh, I do tell them. I went off for quite a while on the 'And you stay with him..why?' person. Not meanly, I just answered the question to the full extent I could think of off the top of my head.

Then I called That Guy and steamed at him for a bit and he just laughed and said, 'You should have said body heat and an ability to open the pickle jar.' I had to inform him that I only love him for his book collection. He said that's fair, he only loves me for mine

That's my wedding anniversary too! 33 years.....yikes did I just type that?

Wow thats my anniversary also 21 years! We've never really celebrated, mostly because we buy things all year long for our home which is what we enjoy. This year its a new privacy fence so my neighbors dogs cant get to my birds (I think it actually a pretty romantic present, he's thinking of me and my happiness, my little hens). I also get funny looks or comments from people when I explain what we do.

Author Erma Bombeck told a story of when her spouse proposed to her and he didn't have a ring nor money at the time but put a cigar band on her finger. After many successful years as a comediane and author they had a beautiful ring made that looked just like the cigar band. It can be seen on her finger on the jacket of her books. I miss her witty outlook on life.
Miss Prissy, how out of the box are you? I am such a ...follow the norm person and never think out of the box. I would love to see your rings. How ingenius!!!
Congrats on fellow Feb. 14th. anniversarys!! I had told me dh that the brooder box he just built was my anniversary gift, he looked at me like ...you have got to be kidding!!...I am not. I love it.

He never got down on his knee and asked me to marry him instead we were walking around in the mall a couple of days before VD and there were sales everywhere. We went in a jewlery store empty handed and I came out with an engagment ring on my finger and the bands in my hand. People have said "If he didn't ask you then what kind of guy is he"? I just say He's my kind. We have been married for 17yrs and dated for four years. I have a problem with my hands swelling so I would sometimes just wear my band and one day I had to take it off along with my Tweety watch so I put my band on the watch. I later discovered that someone liked them and borrowed them for life. I cried so much I could have filled the ocean. Five years later we found a set that is almost identical except the diamonds are a little bigger. We were going to renew our vows but I was to busy planning his Mom & Dad's 40th. We married July 12th and October 20th I became very ill needless to say He takes care of me every day and I could not ask for more. I think Ed is so special cause it takes alot to make a marriage let alone one with a sick spouse. I don't need VD to tell me he loves me cause each and everyday he shows me he LOVES me. Our first Christmas he got me a Vacuum cleaner and thats how we are. Sorry if I rambled on too long

St. Valentine's Day is a day to show your appreciation to the one you love. If that involves candy, flowers, dinner out, etc. that is absolutely fantastic and I think it's wonderful. For those that prefer not to look at it as a romantic day great, wonderful for you too!
But don't judge those who may only get acts of romanticism on this one day a year. I take myself out, this year I am paying for my son to take a girl out, his first official, going out to dinner at a nice place and buying flowers date. The girl is not his girl friend, but a very good friend of his. He cares a great deal for her and appreciates her, and he hates the way some of the boys talk about her because she is never asked to dances, or movies, or out, because she is not a Barbie doll. She is 6'2, a Senior, a little over weight, but towers over everyone. She has a beautiful singing voice, but a pretty but plain face. She has a soul of gold, but the body of a tall, heavy-boned girl. I'm proud of Steven for making her Valentine's a nice one, he never goes out either, but it's his choice and he doesn't like many girls around here because they are shallow. Like those above that expect fancy candy, expensive flowers, etc. JUST because it's Valentine's day, not because they are loved or deserve it.

Wow Writer, you should be proud! How sweet.

While we are kind of on the subject..... Watched the movie "Blood Diamond". I will never purchase another diamond!

Heh.. and we'll apparently be "celebrating" That Guy's unemployment. He just got notice that his position is being term'd on Feb 13, and since he's a contractor, there's no severance or anything.

UGH.
