Working!
I asked my 15yr old yesterday if he wanted to go and get a Valantine's day card for someone special. His reply "What? For desperado day. No thanks Mum" It certainly made me laugh. To me today is just a day for florists and shops to make money. If you need a special day to tell your loved one you love them, then I guess today is just for you  Me personally, I tell Jack everyday what I think of him...oops, I mean feel about him...oops...Okay...enough said

From the title of the thread, I thought you were making an offer.

We do nothing. Both agree it is a marketing ploy and really means nothing. Plenty of days in the year you can show you love someone, although I have a sneaking suspicion my partner still hopes for something. If it were really a day to celebrate it should be a public holiday lol.

Isn't a hand polish and clean the normal Valentine's Day for single guys?

I was just reading some of the Valentine's in todays paper. My favourite so far:
To the internet - I don't think she has found out about us yet. See you tonight.

The better halfs birthday was on Friday, so mine was a combined Birthday / Valentines weekend that just passed.
Got her this:  The personal plates arrived Friday as well  Booked a hotel for Friday night "Romance Package" thinggo (Thank God for that lastminute website!) And got her that silly Scooby Doo pillow thing she was ooing and aaahing over a few weeks ago at K-Mart. Next year... a card and flowers will suffice. Yeah yeah I know... American marketing etc etc. But the look on her face was worth it

I posted this on Facebook:
"I just want my wife to know on this Valentine's Day: I'm extremely grateful you lowered your standards enough to marry me."

If I had a girlfriend she would have got the best present from me today.
I would have bought her tickets to the monster trucks happening Saturday night, and cooked dinner/dessert and also popcorn for us while we have a movie marathon. Robocop trilogy!

Rolling around on the kitchen floor in my jocks holding a bottle of Jack philosophizing about where it all went wrong.

Well my earlier post was correct, whilst we agreed valentines day was a farce, or so I thought, the mrs is now not speaking to me because I got her nothing.

Plan on sending the missus some balloons today and in the card something to the effect of: 'I don't need a day marked on a calender to tell you I love you.'
Soppy and shiz I know. But, women like that kinda stuff at it at least will get me out of the negatives in brownie points.
