    1. Kourtney! It's like you have a tracking device on me. You're my little MacGeyver.

  3. Absolutely! Not happening this year though-a perk to being separated. I might buy myself something though.

  7. Really? We now have a non Kardashian free February due to this unfunny, off her meds commenter. Thanks a million for destroying it for all of us.

  11. I may be in the minority, but I think this holiday is the most ridiculous of them all. Commercial to the core.

  12. I bet The Brodster could change your mind

  13. @brittiany.. just skip the posts with K-photos as you scroll down, that's what I'm doing *shrug*

  14. I plan on spending Valentines Day in Miami with a friend.

  15. I'm not into Valentines Day. My husband & I never do valetines day for each other, but always still make a big deal about valentines day for the kids...I'd rather know all year round that I'm special to you & not feel pressured to make a big to do because it happens to be the 14th of February. Just me?

  16. Listen. If you're looking to have V-Day gifting etiquette defined on this site, you're certifiably effing clueless. But I know it's hard to find Google, so get comfy and stay a while. I'm sure all the 'experts' that grace this site withvtheir presence will tell you exactly what/what not to get that girl or guy you managed to drag home without the help of Rohypnol, and perhaps you'll even cement yourself as their last-ditch chance at happiness.

    1. Hang on ... is it more romantic with or without the rohypnol? Couldn't find this Google thing you speak of, so trying to take notes.

  17. Sure, why not? Doesnt hv to be expensive,

  18. Agree Mama Ray. True love and making a splashy show of it are a disjointed disconnect imo, but it's the American way. The extremes some people go to for their weddings is another bug-a-boo of mine.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow, you guys are true love buzzkills.

    1. Kristin! Noooooooooooooooooooo!

      I mixed my tears of joy with plaster of Paris, and created a replica of Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus' for you. The auburn hair reminiscent of your ginger tresses. To maintain the integrity of our chaste relationship, I took a bit of artistic license and moved her/your hand a little lower to fully cover the bewb.

      You unromantic buzzkills out there have ruined everything. Damn you. Damn you all to hell!

  20. au contraire Kristin. Some just prefer not to mix true love and commercialism. Each to their own though.

  21. @angie: I'm with you - we went very low key compared to everyone I know as far as weddings went too! I do think the holidays should be a big deal for the little ones, makes for fun memories, and I'm all for the message to let people know that they are special to you. We make a big production about making homemade Valentines for Grandparents & Cousins, etc. But in my own relationship, if I'm feeling the love everyday, I don't really think it's necessary. (My husband of course was thrilled when we started dating & I declared Valentines Day off limits!)

  22. I did the same, Mama Ray. When I told him that I think V Day is a joke and a half, he was so happy. Now we just sit and laugh at everyone stressing out about it. We love each other every day, not just on Valentine's Day!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I agree with those who have said it's a ridiculous "holiday." However, if it matters to you to get something, than give something.

    Anyone else watching the Olympics opening ceremonies? That blinking bear was bloody creepy.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Mama Ray, holidays really are mostly for kids yes. The main enjoyment I get is from seeing them enjoying themselves.
    I think guys in particular are prone to thinking that as long as they do V Day thing, they're covered for the year.
    Remember JFK Jr's wedding? Everything was on a small scale, understated, and simply gorgeous.

  25. Glad to see that others are the same! Valentine's Day is a commercial mess. Also agree about doing holidays for kids.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yes. Even if all the chick gives is anal. It shows a man he is appreciated and loved.

  29. The gift better be mutual orgasims.

  30. I hear ya, IJU. One year I got a laptop for V-Day. I spent over 40 minutes clit diddling and tonguing butt. After I was done, it took a while for her eyes to face forward and for her to speak a complete sentence. Now that is a Thank You.

  31. It's just you is a show collection related to shoes ?
    I received a card once about 20 tears ago ( typo but it stays) .
    I was a waitress in London a million years ago, we had to make all the tables 2 sweaters on vday. The amount of proposals was unreal. Who wants to get engaged or married on valentines day ?

    ReplyDelete
  32. 2 sweaters? 2 seaters .

    ReplyDelete
  33. Leave the typo, @skippy, they were sweaters later (bow chika bow wow).

    Because I apparently keep being tangential and confusing, I think I'll explain my comments from now on. In this one, I'm referencing that all the people at these two seated tables on valentines day were likely having hot sweaty (yet strangely conventional) sexual relations later in the evening. It was based on skippy's original typo and later correction of that very same typo.

    My husband's such a sweetie. He gave me my Valentine's early because of the whole mum thing. I felt so bad! It'll have to be a steak and blow job special on the 14th I think.
