It's "Glad I'm Single" Day!
That's right. I didn't even realize til about an hour ago that it was Valentine's Day. Guess how much money I had to spend today? $0. Came home from work, took a nice, warm shower, watched Fastlane on G4. Hopefully will run Zul'Gurub with my WoW clan tonight. Get some work done on my tennis sim. Pretty much a good, easy standard day.
What are you all doing? Having to spend money on flowers. Having to spend money on cards? Having to spend money by taking your girl or man to a nice place to eat with...good food and not cheap food....and tonight...having sex?....I'm playing a video game... ah fuck |
*pats sabotai on the back*
At least your girlfriends' relationship thread isn't on page one of this message board. |
Steak and BJ Day is better.

I'm married and I spent $0. My wife's valentine is that I say thank you when she serves me dinner.

Edit to add - Diamonds, so I pretty much have to. |

LOL classic. |
We set a dollar limit to gifts, $25 each, and are taking each other out for dinner at our favorite restaurant...The Melting Pot - we go twice a year, for Valentines and for our Anniversary :)

And your Valentine's Day Gift will be that she doesn't divorce you after I tell her you said that! :eek: |
My wife hates "compulsory" holidays. We both spent zero on this one, and show one another how much we love each other 365 days a year. :)
|
We also set a limit of 25. I got her some earrings that she likes that are just "cute." She had dropped hints that she wanted them for a week. Also, I got her a card and some flowers. She is sick with the flu so no dinner or other plans for tonight, but we'll do the rain check on those in a few days..

Hm, see, I tried this argument this year and did not get a very warm response. |
Nice dinner (steak) at the table rather than in front of the television. Flowers, maybe the Melting Pot this coming weekend. Mmmmm.

I completely agree. I made the mistake of trying to bring up this argument, and it didn't go well. It was our 3rd year of marriage.. she still brings it up almost 4 years later ;) |

i did nothing....i am such a great husband that a one day celebration of Love isnt enough for my wife. so we spend all 365 days in a loving and happy marriage
|
Did the dinner thing Saturday. Been together 10 years last week.
|
Watching the excitement of Olympic curling until my wife and I have to go to CERT (community emergency response team) training and then grab groceries. It's so awful.

There's always masturbation. :D |

Mmmmmm... the Melting Pot.
|
Spent a whooping $0 today. :D
|
I get and do all that...plus I play a game tonight. One can have the best of both worlds.
|
And there's not enough people in my guild on WoW, so no ZG tonight....
Oh well, I'll get some TB2 or R:TW in. All is still good. Plus, new episodes of House and The Shield!! Still a good day! |
I had Chick-Fil-A sandwich with a TOMATO and slice of CHEESE! That's right, I actually wanted one not on a Sunday and found out about the new bonuses (well, they cost money, but still bonus!). This Wilmingtonians are spoiled (wait, maybe they have these new fangled things in Atlanta... must check it out when I get back) ;)

Yes they do and the bacon and cheese on an original sandwich is YUMMY!!!! As for the Valentines Day is just another stupid holiday...then wouldn't that make Birthdays the same thing? Shouldn't you celebrate the people you love every day and not just once a year? But I have never heard anyone on here saying "I am not celebrating mine or my wife's birthday because I celebrate her the other 364 days a year". Same thing with Mothers Day, Fathers Day, etc... Edit to add: I will concede that V-day is an over-hyped holiday, but that doesn't mean you have an all or nothing deal...a card is enough for most women. Or something small that they said "oh, that is cute"...just to show you actually pay attention to what we say and are willing to put a little effort into it... |

My first thought after reading this: YOU JERK!!!! But then I couldn't stop laughing. OMG, I'm still laughing!! Ya know what? I'm keeping this as my signature... nice one RA!! |

Birthday's weren't created by Hallmark. |
Quote:
Was Mother's Day? Father's Day? Do you buy your parents cards for those occasions or do you tell them it's a manufactured holiday? |
Quote:
I agree, but he was responding about Birthdays. |
cant compare a birthday( the BIRTH of the person) to V-Day. unless of course you were born on V-Day
|
Valentines day is always cool. I can start dating again tomorrow.

Then there's also the obvious sexist nature of the holiday. Let's be honest, it's marketed and tends to mean much more for girls than guys. There aren't any guys going around bragging about how they got their girl to spend four times the usual value on a bouquet of flowers that dwarfs their desk for the sake of making all their other guy friends jealous.

MY FAVORITE VALENTINES:
 THESE 2 ARE MY LIFE. PURE JOY. |
Quote:
364, since you apparently go out of your way to NOT show one another today in protest of the compulsory holiday. |
I just asked my wife to read this thread. So those of you who...

Basically, we both forgot. He made plans to go gaming that night.. and neither of us realised what day it was beforehand. So, I stayed home with the baby and watched American Idol while he went out and tried to conquere an imaginary world with little bitty plastic men.
