What does Valentine's Day mean to you?

Another 'Merchant' day where fools and their money are parted. Who said you have to buy each other's love? Isn't day to day forging of relationships enough?

You must not have a girlfriend. I'd love to watch that conversation. Tell your girlfriend you are staying home and eating cup of noodles on Valentine's because you aren't a fool. I have my suspicions that she would think otherwise.

I love my wife every moment of every day.

Love isn't about a card, a box of candy or even a rose.

It is about me laying there at night and listening to her breath
and knowing that in her, my world is complete.

Aaaaw! That's so sweet! I sure hope you tell her this too, and don't just share it with your chicken buddies, lol! If my hubby told me something like that, I'd probably just melt! Your wife is a lucky lady!

What does Valentine's day mean to me? Well, to be honest, not much. I actually didn't realise it was even an unordinary day until someone shrieked "HAPPY VALENTINE'S!!" in my ear (well, they actually shrieked it to someone else because my friends aren't into the whole Feb 14th thing either, but you know how those locker rooms tend to mean you can overhear everyone else's conversations) I don't think much of love. I know I care a lot about my parents and friends, but that doesn't mean I have to express it in a big way on Feb 14th. That's what every day is for!!!

Although, interestingly, me and a friend of mine got a note from the same person, who was calling themselves '??'. It was very odd. We went through every single possibility (I go to an all girls' school, so we thought most likely it was a teacher due to the messages) but hit dead ends for them all. Perhaps it was another girl trying to make it sound like teacher speak. Who knows.

My friend is losing sleep over it, I can tell, but I think it's the thought that counts. You know, someone willing to spend $1 on a sheet of pink paper for you.

As a waiter, it means one heck of a PITA night at work -- a jam-packed restaurant full of couples, each expecting extra-special treatment because of the holiday. And much of the clientele is composed of people who aren't familiar with how the restaurant and menu works, requiring additional steps and time to begin service. I'm not knocking their desire to have a special and intimate night out, but when everybody is seeking the same thing on the same night, the people in the industries providing this are bending over backwards to make it happen. Don't get me wrong -- I took in almost $450 by the end of the night, and I anticipated how it was going to be, and my guests were all delightful, but because of the sheer volume and extra out-of-routine steps, I was completely exhausted by the time I got home at nearly 1am. And don't get me started on Mother's Day....I'm not looking forward to that one, either.
