Anybody forget Valentine's Day?

[digger]

I almost did....

'Ol lady just came straight out and asked me, "Know what tomorrow is?" Yeah it's Thursday.

Not really, but I almost did.

After being with the same person for 19 years, she still expects a little something on this day. Whodathunkit?
Don't get each other much, so off to Wally World I went. Roses and one of those teddy bears with candy all in it. No card, got to go too far into the store for that.

Who came up with this anyway? Had to have been a woman.
Aren't they the ones that came up with birthdays and anniversaries too? Sorry but sometmes I'm lucky to remember my name.
One certain day out of the year we are supposed to buy roses, stuffed animals and mushy cards. And if we don't....
Gonna be hell to pay!

I'm just not that romantic. At least not for a day that is supposed to be.
I might be out somewhere and see roses and bring some home for no reason.
That keeps 'em guessing. Might even piss them off if ya haven't done something. They get suspicious.....

Had her stuff on coffee table when she came in from work.
I'm good to go for another year.

Good luck guys. Happy Valentine's day!

When was it?
Of COARSE it was invented by a women. All those really lame holidays were. They're the same ones who write that lame crap in those lame cards, and we HAVE to waste our hobby savings on some card and some red stuff for a day. When will it be St. Sillinder's day? He's the saint of all piston engines.

Anyway, if women are supposed to be so much smarter than men, why are they still so attracted to shiny little objects that serve no useful purpose.

I NEVER forget Valentines Day. I enjoy it actually. I've made it a tradition to buy my wife a red/white plush every year. She's up to 6 now. I think it'll be really cool to look back on someday when she has like 20 of 'em.

 

[WoodiE]

Lessen I'm with you - I enjoy the day but also because I get paid back for my work However, I won't lie - this year I totally lost track of time and what day it was. It wasn't until yesterday when a buddy sent me a text message about a v-day joke before I realized what day it was so I had to go out last night and do some last minute shopping.

[Lessen]

Yeah, mine was last minute as well. Been busy lately with work and getting ready for my vacation. Happy Valentines Day honey, let's go drive for 12 hours Ha!

 

[sweetdiesel]

I did a V-day gift last week. Took a day off work and took care of the kids while the wife spent the morning at a spa getting pampered and then took in an afternoon of shopping. It's been pretty hectic around our place with the new baby and the move so I really wanted to give her a nice day off.

Bought roses last night and today I'm grilling some steaks for dinner.

I don't buy into Hallmark holidays...I treat my ladies special all year......

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Haha I forgot until I saw this thread.

LMFAO - liar! :LoL:

Most of you all know how much I race and travel for work. That would not continue if I don't remember certain days and Hallmark day is one of them. You just have to counteract the day. My wife bought a new Coach purse and wallet, I placed a rather substantial order at TiltedRC, her's I know about, mine she doesn't cause it will get delivered to my work with a card saying I love me! She thinks she wins! LOL

 

[Plaidfish]

LMFAO - liar! :LoL:





-Michael

Well half that statement may be true....LOL

 

[Bryson]

I can't forget, if I did I must be a moron. Because its my birthday! lol.

 

[HeartBreak]

Just like the fish dood, I don't buy into this "Holiday". It's a pointless holiday.. You don't get the day off at all. In fact, you get double-nagged if you miss it.

For the history buffs, here's an interesting read on the back story of the "holiday":

http://www.history.com/minisites/valentine/viewPage?pageId=882

Now, as for me.. The last time I "celebrated" it was with my ex. That year she had turned into a bitter and mean person (trust me, that's the clean version) for reasons I couldn't quite put my finger on (I suppose it was because I'd go racing every sunday about 40 miles away), and was hinting pretty heavily at me buying rings and walkin the ol' isle o doom.

Rather than be stuck with Satanette for the rest of my life, I decided to play her game.. Only, instead of rings, I gave her a subtle hint; a crockpot.

The reasoning behind it? It was my way of saying she was a cold hearted *ahem* and needed to warm up.

Made ending the 3.5 years fairly easy after that. Not to mention, it was the best Valentines day I've ever had... I gained my freedom from the Ice Queen.

Oh, and the best part of it? It wasn't even new. I paid $1.25 for it at the Salvation Army.

 

[Plaidfish]

When I was little my dad used to say "don't hand me that crock of $h1T" whenever I'd lie about where I was....LOL....well a few years back I found one at the fleamarket and filled it with fake poo.....and I actually handed him a crock of $h1T.......I didn't say a word...he opened it and knew exactly what it was and started laughing our asses off...my step mother didn't get it and thought it was an awful thing to give him....I know he didn't marry the bitch for her humor.....

 

[HeartBreak]

LMAO - that's great!

I didn't fill it with any poo, but the way she cooked, it's a safe bet it got it's fair share sooner or later.

Great gag, Fish. Something you'll both always remember.

OKAY MEN...let's get together and set up a holiday where the women have to do something for us, for a change, and if they don't then we'll have the right to pout about it.

Sometime in the spring, before racing season, end of March beginning of April should be good.
We tell them it St. Sillinder's day, and he's the patron saint of all piston engines, and we get to choose whatever parts we want for our cars or our nitros. If they don't get us what we want we just sit on the couch all day and if they ask what's bothering us we say, "Nothing dear, other than YOU don't love me."
It might take 2 or 3 years before they figure it out, but soon we'll have it made in the shade for ONE day a year.

 

[Karl M]

Wow Rolex, have you even been in the same room as a woman? LOL Your idea will have all the same chances of a lead brick levitating on jupiter. If it doesn't involve something for her it won't fly! Ever walk into a room full of talking women, the only thing you hear is Me, Me, Me.

Just don't know about that one Rolex.

Came in last night from work, just wanted a beer and to be left alone.
After she got home and saw the useless flowers and crap, she wouldn't leave me alone. All that "you are so sweet," "I love you so much," "The flowers are so pretty".... A guy can just take so much.
Don't get me wrong. I really care a lot about her. After coming in from work, I just want to be left alone.


How about our day just be:
1) Don't ask stupid questions while I'm watching an important TV show.
The reason I'm being so quiet is the show is interesting. Can you at least wait until a commercial?

2) Don't mention your Mother or any of your family.
Not going to like any of them on any holiday of the year!

3) Don't ask where I am going or what I am going to do.
I didn't ask you to go or ask you to do anything. Consider yourself lucky.

4) Don't ask me to go shopping with you. Not even going to do that on her day.
She owns the checkbook and we aren't going to be anywhere near a hobby store, Lowes or Tractor Supply.
That makes no sense at all.

5) Don't ask how that outfit looks.
I'm a guy. Unless the outfit is in the floor of the bedroom, I don't care. I wear t-shirts!

6) Don't worry about opening my beer when ya bring it to me.
Just make sure I'm not out!


Sure I forgot some, but I need a holiday.
Anybody got some more?

 

[Rolex]

I'm a guy. Unless the outfit is on the floor of the bedroom, I don't care.

Man, that's some hysterical stuff.

How many men does it take to open a beer?

NONE! It should be open by the time SHE brings it!

When your lady asks if that dress makes her butt look big, DON'T say, "No, it's your fat ass that makes the dress look big."
