That's not very romantic Tom!
Sounds more like christmas or a birthday to me.
I didn't know V-Day was like the others - just an excuse to get stuff you want.
Well, at least its a little more special than that to me, I proposed on Valentine's Day in 1987.

I got her sex in the city......no not what you are thinking, I mean DVD season 2. She just loves the show so I am slowly buying them all for her.

I ain't getting her anything. I'm spending the whole weekend in the basement painting a ton of shirts for a club member. Plus with 3rd degree burns (or at least feels like it) from a stencil burner, I ain't... oh nevermind.
Seriously, I have no idea! Plus Amy's big four Ohhhhhh is next week. I need to do something special.
Posted by: Root_Werks Feb 12 2005, 09:53 PM
Can't say right now, cause she is right behind me.

Gee, I sure hope that club member appreciates what you're going through!
Got any previews?
Turning 40 can be kind of scary for women. Be sure you treat her right.
On Mary's 40th I gave her a surprise party. We had a quiet dinner at home with 3 other couples (Mary's 3 best friends and their husbands) and my brother Charley was the waiter. His secret job was to make sure Mary never got out of her chair while the rest of the guests were sneaking into the house. There were about 20 people standing right behind Mary before she even noticed what was going on.

where do you get those things?
Posted by: skline Feb 12 2005, 11:26 PM
Im really not getting her anything, its just another day to her. Being from Russia, they dont have valentines day over there. Maybe I will pick up a card or something. But really, they dont have very many holidays like that at all there.
Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 13 2005, 09:12 AM
Gawd Scott, just cuz its new to her doesn't mean she won't like it if you express yourself.
Monique is from Suriname in South America and its no big deal she says.....until the day after.
Once "they" are in the USA the woman kinda get the idea of what is going on here with all the advertising that goes on.
Hey Jeroen and other guys from far away, what is going on in your country? Has Valentines Day become a event there????

Ohhhh.... but see, she's not in Russia any more. When in Rome speak a little Italian. She knows all the other girls in town are going to be treated special, so why not her? She might not say it's a big deal, but then a man isn't truely married until he hears all the things his wife DOESN'T say. I could be totally off, but I try to err on the side of caution in these matters.

Don't ever believe here when she say's "Oh I don't need anything" or "You don't need to do anything special, it's just another day". Learned that the hard way, at least it only took one time.
I'll be making my own card (can't stand overpriced Hallmark et al) and going to the Oregon Coast.

I used to think that as well but my wife will most likely get some kind of new clothing.
Posted by: jimtab Feb 13 2005, 05:46 PM
Lemme see, Sex, walk on the beach, Sex, dinner at the "little French bistro", sex, new computer(she was gonna get that anyway), massage.....man I'm beat...
Posted by: Kerrys914 Feb 14 2005, 06:22 AM
She has flowers on the kitchen counter right now She was still in bed when I left for work.......so she has no idea 
I figure that would start her day off right.
Shee puts up with my 914 and all of its issues and costs She's a great gal 
Posted by: xsboost90 Feb 14 2005, 06:40 AM
i found out she was looking at this cheapy little bracelet and bought a much nicer version of the same one, and i am having flowers delivered to work today. She got me a power drill for the shop and something else but not sure what yet.
Posted by: Sparky Feb 14 2005, 07:15 AM
So far I've cooked her breakfast, when I sneak in from work tonight she'll get a massage and some "special" chocolates. Both my daughters are getting a rose. There 7 and 5 and think it's all about candy.... I'm a romantic sap so this is one of my favorite holidays. Just wish I had gone a little easier on the Grey Goose last night.
My best,
Mike D.

Posted by: Kerrys914 Feb 14 2005, 07:47 AM
One thing that sucks about Valentines day is the fact I keep rasing the bar on myself 
Seems like every year I feel the need to out do what I did last year. It will make you 
just thinking about it.
This year I am hoping something simple and with thought will do just fine
Best of luck guys

Brian and I did the same thing two years ago...
I'm not one to believe what guys say about Valentine's day being a girl's holiday (despite what Brian claims) and we're probably just going to cook a nice dinner at home tonight. Flowers are nice, but they wilt, and it makes me sad. And I'm not a big fan of chocolates (except for extra dark). He makes me feel special and appreciated 365 days a year, I don't need Valentines day to remember that.
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

I get the double whammy, It's my wife's birthday, too. I try to keep them separate. Definitely, can't kill two birds with one stone. typical flowers and candy for v-day. jewelry and dinner for b-day.
Posted by: Mrs. K Feb 14 2005, 01:07 PM
On a weekday, too much to do with the kids, sports practices, work and all that jazz! So just a card for the hubby, and candy for my sweetheart kiddies

we had an early dinner at Morimoto (IRON CHEF!) yesterday and we opened some Vosges chocolates last night (kind of a tradition.)
this morning i had a bracelet from Tiffany for her and she got me a nice segmented titanium bracelet i'd admired. i'll cook dinner this evening.
Friday was her birthday - expensive weekend but she's worth it all.

Company planned a two day seminar. I'm out of town! We spent Sunday together at the lake. Were going out for dinner when I return. I hate working.
Posted by: Mueller Feb 14 2005, 10:10 PM
so far, pretty boring V-day...still at work.....traffic royally sucks tonight....I won't get home for another few hours and it looks like I'm going to miss this weeks 24 on the tube
man, i need to get a TiVo......
Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 14 2005, 11:03 PM
I took her to dinner and for dessert gave her a box with chocolate fortune cookies. In the bottom of the box was a small box that had a diamond ring and a fortune that read "Will you marry me?"
Got a yes and put the ring on her plus lots of tears...
So everything went well tonight.

Geoff, Way to go! Great minds think alike. Let me splain:
Took girl friend out to this out look/park in old town. She has known that I am not financially fit, but didn't know why. The cool thing, she was ok with small things. So, I bought her a box of Rocher chocolates. Watching the last rays of sunshine set, I told her to pick one (originally the wrong one, but I told her to pick again). She opened it up, found a foil ball where the candy should have been and in the ball was an engaugement ring. She kept saying, "are you sure!? oh my god!" I got a yes, ofcourse.
Went home and cooked up some mean chicken marsala.....and now she is gonna give me her present to "us", lingerie
All is good.
Posted by: Dr Evil Feb 14 2005, 11:28 PM
Damn, Mer. I didn't know anyone was watching.

Ok, Ok , Ok, Mike, that explains the big ass smile in your avatar, see if you are still smiling 10 years from now. I want you all to know, I am not totally heartless, I got her a chocolate heart with dark chocolates, she likes those, and a dozen roses and set them on her desk so she found them when she got home. She was touched, we had KFC for dinner and then I came back out to the garage and she went back to doing her thing and I am doing mine. So I did make an attempt, it was just futile. If it aint there, you cant force it.
Happy valentines day to everyone.

Actually Scott, the pic in my avatar was of the results of everclear on the human body. I was on the kitchen floor, right after I fell out of my seat. Circa 2000

Yeah, I'm all over it. I'm completely into romance and engagements right now. My sister just got engaged on Saturday evening.
The lovebirds in 2003(?).

I'll have to sell one of my bikes to pay for the ring, but it was well worth it. It was no where near as ginormous as the one your sister got, but I am only a humble unemployed college graduate

This poem should fit all'O' yous dat haf'a gun rack in da rear winder of yer teener.... so, hear go's
Collards is green, my dog's name is Blue and I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you. Yore hair is like cornsilk a-flapping in the breeze. Softer than Blue's and without all them fleas. You move like the bass, which excite me in May. You ain't got no scales but I luv you anyway. Yo're as satisfy'n as okry jist a-fry'n in the pan. Yo're as fragrant as "snuff" right out of the can. You have some'a yore teeth, for which I am proud; I hold my head high when we're in a crowd. On special occasions, when you shave under yore arms, well, I'm in hawg heaven, and awed by yore charms. Still them fellers at work, they all want to know, what I did to deserve such a purdy, young doe. Like a good roll of duct tape yo're there fer yore man, to patch up life's troubles and fix what you can. Yo're as cute as a junebug a-buzzin' overhead. You ain't mean like those far ants I found in my bed. Cut from the best cloth like a plaid flannel shirt, you spark up my life more than a fresh load of dirt. When you hold me real tight like a padded gunrack, my life is complete; Ain't nuttin' I lack. Yore complexion, it's perfection, like the best vinyl sidin'. despite all the years, yore age, it keeps hidin'. Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie with a RC cold drank, we go together like a skunk goes with stank. Some men, they buy chocolate for Valentine's Day; They git it at Wal-Mart, it's romantic that way. Some men git roses on that special day from the cooler at Kroger. "That's impressive," I say. Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth. "Diamonds are forever," they explain, suave and couth. But for this man, honey, these won't do. Cause yor'e too special, you sweet thang you. I got you a gift, without taste nor odor, more useful than diamonds... IT'S A NEW TROLL'N MOTOR!!

Way to go Mike!!
Whats with all the puppies ????
Those of you who have met Monique at the WCC and other events know she is pretty special and right for me.
And Skline, I was married for 20 yrs and it fell apart rather quickly too, but its worked out for the better, actually way better.

A bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape wine to share with supper and a small box of Sees Bordeaux candies. The wine is one that she had when she went on a quilter's tour of Provence about 2 years ago and she really liked it. Bordeauxs are her favorite candy.
Congrats to Geoff & Mike! May you each have many years together! Marrying my best friend was certainly the best move I've ever made.

Congratulations to you both
What a happy beginning
Now go out & get a puppy

No puppies as I like to travel and you can't bring them along.

Posted by: jimtab Feb 15 2005, 03:03 PM
Congrats to both couples, my advice after 38 fun filled years with the same gal is: keep talking, if there is something you can't talk about, then you REALLY need to talk about it. Keep suprising each other, I always tell my wife that she can't figure me out because I'm a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, covered with secret sauce....she has managed to change with me and often suprised me just when I thought I was sure....

Puppys are more trouble than kids, and they sure as hell won't be there in your old age...
Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 15 2005, 05:44 PM
We gots two each but mine don't live at home anymore since I kicked them out. Two kids part time is tough enough when they yell back at you "You aren't my Dad!"
I say "If I was your Dad your ass would be mine!"
Blair comes over from time to time to tell them how tough I was on him..haha its funny now.
