Ok, the second part isn't true. :blush: :D
Bet it is.
Acually I much prefer practicality from my husband rather than some silly flowers that are dead in no time.
We are eliminating the mortgage, he can just redecorate, dig up gardens and tend to the chooks and I'll be happy.

429975 2006-02-14 04:21:00 I agree, Valentines Day is just commercial hogswash.

A romantic practical guy would get some flowers/chocolate etc on Feb 15 when every thing is marked down and it is unexpected. :p

429976 2006-02-14 04:23:00 I laugh at you men that have to buy expensive presents and other crap (what idiot would buy roses that are twice the price as per normal, 'borrow' them from your Moms garden :D)... all I gotta do is roll over in bed, look her in the eye, and say Happy Valentines Day.. the rest of the day is my own :D

But then I do that sorta thing more days than not anyway (just the words are different)

429979 2006-02-14 10:42:00 I think I'm a fool, because I'll never forget to send missus flowers on the 14th. I disagree with it, and hate the commercialism of it, but it's a "must do".

Her comment to me today was that her workmates said (boringly) "oh, more flowers from Greg". So yeah, I send her flowers on and off at any time of the year, but still regard 14th Feb as an essential.

429982 2006-02-14 12:01:00 Right on, Greg...
Stick with the "must do."

Yes, we may hate the commercialism, but under a certain age nowadays, it seems you have little choice.

(Some of us went through our "courting years," knowing Valentines Day merely as a name - an American custom,
We can simply smile nowadays at the fuss or join the fashion)

For all the grumps about Valentines Day, I guess there are hordes of people whose lives/relationships it really affects.

Not only guys may think it's garbage. Some women do also.

But if it helps those who want/need to show their feelings ( and who's to say that's a bad thing, particularly if it wouldn't happen otherwise?), then certainly the nicest emotions should reign on 14 February.

I do hope you young guys did the right thing...like send one to your mother. She'll still be there after the girlfriend is long gone...
