Title: how many of you are hostage to Valentines Day?
Post by: hawk220 on January 23, 2003, 08:00:54 AM: the most contrived 'holiday' is coming up.. Valentines Day.. where hoards of women demand absolute attention and the greeting card and diamond industry laugh all the way to the bank. How many of you have a gun to their heads from their women with instructions to lavish them with chocolate and expensive dinners?

Buy your woman a gift when it isn't Valentines day, it counts for a lot more!

I'm glad someone recognised this;)

Two major advantages:

1. It is cheaper.
2. I never forget our anniversary (Hallmark won't let me forget Valentines Day with all the TV ads)
:cool:

Yea, but he needed to trick his wife into having sex. :eek:

He should have tried begging like the rest of us.

Post by: hawk220 on January 23, 2003, 12:02:39 PM: OUCH Curval.. did you have to endure a Valentines Day themed wedding too? with pink and red as your colors and everything with little red hearts all over it? I prolly would have dived thru a stained glass window..

I consider myself a very lucky man.. one of the first things my wife told me when we started dating, was that she considered V Day a load and 'dont you dare get me a box of chocolates or a diamond or some crap like that'.. I knew I had to marry her right then.

LOL...no, not quite that tacky.

In fact we had a traditional Vietname wedding...and based on the outfits it could have been misconstrued as a "Theme" wedding, to those uneducated in Vietnamese wedding apparel.

We had two Buddist monks chanting up a storm, wacking a cymbol periodically, and lots of bowing.

Different..and quite cool.:)

Post by: firbal on January 23, 2003, 01:52:05 PM: All through my life I've only had a girlfriend once during V-day. That was last year. But she's isn't around any more. Of course moving half way across the country last year did help that.

Sure. This year I’m thinking of going with that gold tooth she’s been wanting. But be careful -- unless you are a suave and debonair romantic like I am, she might know you didn’t think of it yourself.

Wow! You look good in a dress Curval. Never thought I'd actually see myself posting the aforementioned statement. Did you wear undergarments?
