Out here, there’s a person who sells roses on most weekends down in Enfield. In January ,I bought a dozen for 12.99. As I drove by there on Friday afternoon I noticed they were on sale for 34.99 ! L O L
Isn’t valentines day wonderful ?
You can buy roses for your sweetheart for only 20+ dollars MORE than you can get them the rest of the year !
The real question More is “is SHE worth an extra $20?”.
Fortunately my gal doesn’t think expensive = thoughtful…so I can get away with being cheap as long as I am creative 🙂
even i like this day fool. what kind of fucking douche are you?too bad if you are so miserable to be around,fuck you, and your ugly dog too. give this asshole hell kay.
If there was a day designed to make you feel lonely this has got to be it. The good news is there’s a whole bunch of cranky, lonely fucks who don’t normally go out but may be driven to it this day if just to feel a little less lonely.
Valentines Day is nothing more than another marketing opportunity. Don’t let all the hype get to you OP. If you are feeling left out do something special to treat yourself.
Or hang out with your family or friends. I’ve spent lots of Valentine’s days single, but never lonely, even when alone.
It’s a Hallmark holiday, invented to market a variety of heart shaped crap. If you love someone you should be demonstrating it all year long, not on one designated day by buying a bunch of junk.
Right arm Jai!
OB’s right…….stupid……..Smee hates it too.
Pretentious bunch a marketing crap!
Confectioners, florists, and greeting card makers love it!
Best day of the year for them.
Which day is Loner’s Day?
Miles , for flowers..no .
For the Scallops wrapped in bacon, for the homemade Lobster Newburg & toast points, the chapagne & chocolate strawberries while we lounge around in front of our fire later this afternoon & tonight…Yeah ,she’s definately worth the effort.
What’s the good of cut flowers ?
THey’re Dying ! They sit in a vase & do what exactly ?
At least my Valentines idea, get’s us fed, gives us a buzz & we’ll be nice & warm, so we can deal with anything that may pop up later ~;)
Roses are overrated. Give me one lily over a dozen roses any day.
I don’t do the whole flowers / presents / card bullshit, but I like Valentines day because it is a nice excuse to get laid.
It kinda jumped the shark after about grade 6 I think…
Me too…too many suitors.
More: Agreed. I never really got the idea of flowers (and I’m a hopeless romantic). It’s like saying “here’s something beautiful. Now watch it wither and die”.
Dino: You’ve got to many suitors year round though!
OP: You’re probably one of these bitter aresholes that only hates Valentine’s day because you’ve never had someone do anything/to do for on Valentine’s. I realize that it’s a bunch of commercial crap, but I still enjoy it. My GF and I spent the weekend in a beautiful cottage on the South Shore and relaxed the whole time. Nothing like browsing some of the great little shops/cafes/bakeries with your honey on Valentines.
my anniversary just happens to coincide within the same week as valentines so I get off the hook on the actual day because we’ve already celebrated a little bit earlier.
helps me get a jump on all the goons trying to impress their dates, etc as well…
so long as I remember the anniversary that is….
and if not, I just say ‘oh we’ll celebrate on valentines’ as a failsafe.
no-one can say I don’t plan ahead…
Welcome to Reflections. Happy Valentines! I got you herpes!
I forgot it was V day yesterday until my mom gave me a valentine!
heh.
Just treat it like another day, OP.
I hate V-Day too! Even though I did kind of have a date, and got some sex… it’s still a bullshit holiday! This girl cost me a fortune of money I don’t have. Yes, a fortune.
