Happy what?

[Nephythys]

Happy unimaginative, consumerist-oriented, and entirely arbitrary, manipulative and shallow interpretation of romance day!

Nothing says "I Love You" like dead vegetation and fat-saturated sugar products.

And yet, even with that if Jupiter does not come through he's toast.

I'd take the dead vegetation and fat-saturated sugar products in a heartbeat but I guess that's because I'm single and lonely.

Here's hoping the people who are more lucky than i am have a fantastic day filled with love, surprises, and...um...well...I won't go any farther.

Not so! I am true to my anti-Valentine sentiment through and through.

Oh, I bought my kids big Hershey kisses. That's ok.

But Jupiter and I have our plans- exchange gifts (video games ) and have a casual dinner.

No dead flowers, NO candy, no dressing up and no jewelry- most likely not even cards.

Just a simple night together with gifts that suit us- and not this Hallmark holiday.

He's a lucky guy

My (thankfully) boyfriendless daughter and and her friends have renamed this day "Singles awareness day".

Better known as "SAD".

I'm making a nice dinner for my wife, including Chocolate covered strawberries, some candy, and jewlery.

What, you don't think I like sex or what?

[scaeagles]

Well, when your wife can't keep her hands off you, you don't need bribes, Rstar.

Once again I am fortunate that Lani and I could hardly care less. We're all in favor of romantic dinners out and evenings spent together. Just not because a saints day for an 1800-years dead monk (and we don't even know for sure which one) was given increased popularity by a 600-years dead novelist.

But to those who will be in some day recognizing the day I hope it is great. For those who will be disappointed by the effort of another coming up short of your desires, I hope you kick the bum to the street and burn their clothes in a display of frustrated amour.

Oh I agree. You can definitely ditch the commercialism but as a guy you still have to respect the day. If there was no gift and he went out with the boys for poker night....

I would stay home and play Rock Band!
