Exactly. I'd barely even heard of it, until my best friend's wife in Chicago claimed what a big deal it was. Luckily, my wife is among the crowd who thinks it is not a holiday that needs to be observed. |

OK, Google to the rescue. No wonder I've never heard of it...

My wife and I both agree you shouldn't need an excuse for romance. If paying triple for a dozen roses and eating at an insanely crowded restaurant with inflated prices is your idea of being more festive then carry on my friend. |

Well, why go to a fine restaurant, when you can just stick something in the microwave? Why go to the park and fly a kite, when you can just pop a pill? |

that makes no sense. I don't need it to be February 14th to go to a fine restaurant with my wife. If I want to get her roses on august 19th I will. IMO it is idiotic that there is a so called holiday that makes people feel compeled to get their loved one a gift while being gouged in the process. |

Went to proflowers.com and she'll be getting 2-dozen roses and chocolates - they had a special promotion here on the radio.
It's not a big deal, but she manages at a local restaurant, so it will be nice for her to get some flowers in the middle of a dinner rush. |

Word.
I think my wife was a little bummed because she had a nice card and truffles for me this morning and I was like...hey thanks! So she thinks I blanked completely. Which I do normally, so fair assumption on her part. :\

If you need a last minute gift idea, I suggest teabagging your significant other.
When done right, your beanbag should resemble an upside down heart so, it's all good.

Dude...I DID get my wife roses on August 19th last year, and probably will every year until I croak!

Well, my g/f and I decided on small presents (she's getting me one, so I had to get her one). In addition to me cooking dinner tonight (I like cooking, so it wasn't that big a deal).

18 red roses, some candy, a card, and we are going out to dinner (nothing special for dinner, just a nice normal not to expensive food place).

My wife got me a card, tickets to see Jimmy Eat World, and also made cards for me from both of our cats, and our dog, so I got three cards total. It was cute.

Nice catch. I actually got to use that quote twice today. Some guy at a staff meeting was doing the whole overpriced flowers thing today and I used the line. Basically got the same response from the staff as I got from Lathum except for one guy that fired back about not wanting to pay $7 to see Sparticus. |

I was asked to go to the front desk to pick something up and got this
I came back to my desk and 5 minutes later I got another phone call and was asked to pick something up and I thought it was a mistake but they said it was another delivery: They were both a complete surprise especially when I found out Antmeister dropped the cookies off himself. Very, very sweet. |

Valentine's Day can be a trite reminder for some, but at least it's a reminder. |

Funny thing, I walked out of the library to head to Stats and I was blasted by some of the most overpowering vanilla perfume ever. I mean it's like this chick said soaked in a bath of the stuff for four hours or something, it was that bad.
On top of that, I hate vanilla scents to begin with because they give me a headache.

In that case, let me return the favor. Choose your favorite and remember me fondly until September 19th.

So Bill Clinton's on campus tonight, but I ain't going out in that zoo. Besides, weekly chapter meeting's at 6:30, which means by the time I got there, all the decent seating would be gone anyway.
So instead, I'll watch sappy movies all night. First up: Pretty in Pink
