Did I mention I hated Valentines Day

Speaking of someone who is dating the wrong women..... ?

Going to work yesterday, the radio had the daily quiz going.  49% of people think this should happen on Valentines Day.  The correct answer was "Get the Day Off".  Seriously, a national holiday for it??

Looks like 100 percent on here take it about as serious as it should be taken.  Nobody even remembers the original reason, remembering two slain guys named Valentine by the Roman Church.

So pragmatic!  "We're above all that romance stuff and forced Hallmark holiday."  "Our love runs much deeper than red roses!"

"Oh,don't do anything special for me...."

"We show our love 365 days a year, we don't need Valentines Day!"

Go ahead, pat yourself on the back for having the good sense and intestinal fortitude in not caving in to societal pressure. Congratulations!

Deep down, though, she secretly wishes you would actually DO something, ANYTHING, other than business as usual. Oh, she'll put on a brave face and laugh it off. She is used to being disappointed. After all, she CHOSE YOU. So, act like she is the love of your life and do something that shows it, up your romantic game, and be the husband hero, at least for a day.

I noticed that Facebook is filled with the latest trend of "I Love Us" pics of husband and wife. Everyone please jump on the bandwagon! ?

Actually my wife thinks it's as ridiculous as I do. After 30 years together we've both proven each other's love and commitment to each other in more serious ways than a card and chocolate covered strawberries.  Which she loves and I bought.

I bought my wife a new rod and reel setup for valentine's day. NO card, NO chocolate.

and i figure when she is not fishing with me i can use it too

A few years back I had no time to buy a card.  I was on the road and working long hours doing a bank conversion.  I happened to stop at a truck stop and noticed they had Valentine cards.  There was one with otters -- she loves otters.  It is one of her favorite cards and did not know it was bought at a truck stop.

I put a lot of time and thought into the cards I buy my wife.  Once read one of them and teared up and hugged me so hard it was nearly painful.  After she left I had to open the card and read it, had NO CLUE what it actually said until then.  It was pretty sappy and sweet even if by accident.  I have always told my wife that instead of a card for me for anythIng simply walk through the fishing department and buy a lure or something.  Over the years I have received some nice shad raps and flicker shad instead of cards.
