   It's that time of year again gents. The upcoming "holiday" says I must pump up the romance and wine and dine her and shower her with gifts and flowers that she so deserves.

   So I'll get her all her fav flowers (Gerber Daisies of assorted colors) a mountain of chocolates (that's my fav part because I always eat them no matter how many times she says, "HEY THOSE ARE MINE!".)

   And for the gifts I'll most likely be getting her a tripod for her camera and a new charm or two for her charm bracelet.

   On Christmas I got her a few charms and one of which is relevant to this forum. I told her I had to be represented on the bracelet too. So she wears it with pride.

   
   
   
   
   

   What are you guys and gals getting your special someone? Going some place special?

   Let's share some ideas because let's face it; some of you have been doing this for so long you might need some fresh ideas.

   This valentines day I'll be 417 miles away from her. Won't even have enough to send her anything. And sadly our two year aniversary is a day after v-day. But just being able to skype her will be enough.

   The lame flowers. A nice dinner. A pampering appointment for hair, manicure, and pedicure. Then dancing.

   If you can't pack it, light it, and smoke it then why do it. It's a dieing art that must be rekindled in all of us as fortold by our forefathers.

   But why would she need any better gift than just being married to me???

   On a more serious note, because my wife is a quadriplegic she spends a lot of time homebound. Sometimes the best gift for us is to get out the house by ourselves to just do SOMETHING. Probably a nice dinner for us and a drive around the countryside.

   I plan to chase mine around until she lets me catch her .

   Nice Igloo!

   It's going to be a fancy dinner, Victoria's Secret Lingerie, Box of Chocolates and a Dozen Red Roses.

   She should expect no less.

    When you ask her out logandow you have to have flowers with you to give to her. When she sees all the trouble you went through she'll panic and have to say yes! lol

    she needs a watch, and since she has a fairly physical job, she needs a tough one. I have a couple of the standard G-shock watches, and love them.

    I'm single for yet another Valentine's Day. So it's Singles Awareness Day for me. My motto: It's better to have a happy SAD than a good VD.

    No, my name is spelled 'Luxury Yacht' but it's actually pronounced 'Throatwobbler Mangrove'.

    I always hit the "As Seen On TV" aisle at the CVS for V-day. Last year was dryer balls. This year maybe the Yoshi knife or pajama jeans; its a special day afterall.

    logandow, it started a few years ago with a fork that was also a meat thermometer so its become an annual thing. More practical than candy, cheaper than jewelry and lasts longer than a dinner or flowers. Romantic? On some level I think so.

    Jees, thanks for the reminder, I'd best send out a group email saying, "Hold the diamonds (too much bloodshed & murder in producing them), I already have way too much gold, parfum, flowers die, don't like choccy, so this year boys, it's "Candle Making Supplies" errrr read "Tobacco" or you're a dead man walking."

    Don't make this mistake I saw a guy make here fellas. Was in a large Department Store akin to Nordstroms & this guy is trying to describe his wife's preferred perfume ... he says, "The box is white, it's got pale coloured flowers all over it, think it starts with an A".

    The shop assistant's brow is furrowed, she's wracking her brains, but just can visualise it, when all of a sudden he screams out excitedly, loud enough to wake the dead, "I know, it's called Anus, Anus!!!" Well, the entire Cosmetics Section fell about laughing or gasped in horror (a bit like this place really), the chappy playing the Grand Piano in the entry even stopped ...the woman looks at him, beyond shocked and with total aloofness says, "Err, sir, that would be Anais Anais you would be thinking of, shall I wrap a box for you". He looked confused, didn't get it, says the woman waiting next to him, "same damn thing isn't it exceptin' she's talking French at me", took his box and walked off happy as a clam ... if only his gal knew what a total ass he made of himself! They walk among us, they really do!!!!

    Actually, mine changed after I went shopping yesterday.

    The chocolates and roses are mandatory, but I got a sexy little black dress, red slacks, 6" heels from Guess? (red, black & leopard print) and silver dangling earrings.

    Since her birthday is one month later, I killed two birds with one stone and got her sexy tight jeans, another pair of 6" heels from Guess?(black, orange & purple) and another set of silver dangling earrings.

    Dinner will be at Toasted Pheasant Bistro.

    Here's the shoes:

    In America growing up we had Valentines Day but I have moved to Sweden five years ago and in Sweden it does not exist, they do not celebrate it here. I do not mind at all because I have never been the type that got into these kind of holidays.

    Since I am a Bachelor, I shall indulge myself a new pipe or several tins of fine tobacco. I just love myself!

    NOTHING - I am a lucky guy. She was married to her ex-husband on Valentine's Day and has hated that day since she split with him. She wants nothing to do with it. She may be the only woman who feels this way. Frankly, what is so special about it anyway?
