Bill Butts Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Greetings. Well, another Valentines Day has come and gone. I was browsing another Forum (different region) this morning and found some hilarious discussion about Valentines Day stories. So, I thought it would be fun to share some on this site, too. Here's mine to start things off: Sitting in the sauna with a bunch of naked sweaty guys on Monday, I listened to discussion about the expectations of the opposite sex for V Day. One guy said he'd read the average gift expenditure for guys, in some survey, was $160 and that women averaged less than $100 on guys. Interesting, I thought. Then, another guy said there is a woman in his office that said her husband told her for V Day he was going to buy her a Chicken!! That way they could divide in half and they'd both the same, useful gifts. Laughter errupts in the 100+ degree sauna air. I tell my wife of 28 years the story and she laughs, too. So on VDay I take her to our favorite restaurant, an awesome Asian Fusion place here is town, and we're sitting there thoroughly enjoying our favorite dish we almost always order and I starting thinking about what we were eating; some sushi, some rice and.......yes.......Chicken!!! How was your V Day with your sweetheart? Bill Butts Springfield MO "So many fish, so little time"
Members diamond dave Posted February 16, 2006 Members Posted February 16, 2006 For Valentines Day, this year my wife let me take her fly fishing. She was not very excited about it at first, but after catching her 3rd fish all by her self, she wanted to cast some more. She said she would go fishing with me again sometime. I was pretty impressed that she caught 3 fish on her own, on the first time with a fly rod. She even learned how to mend on the first day. She would have caught a lot more but she needs to work on keeping her rod bent. That was the best Valentine Day I've had in a long time.

Congratulations on creating another female flyfisher. Now, are you sure you weren't dreaming??? Slap yourself a couple times before answering this post, just to be sure.
