Valentines Day Is?
Edited on Fri Feb-13-04 01:12 PM by Lostmessage
What do you think that Valentines Day Is?

To me it's the day you find out whether the person that tells you that they care about you really does. :cry:

I will be going out alone tomorrow night.

1. A day to celebrate love.
The one you love and the love you share.

I'm not one bit cynical about Valentine's Day. I didn't think I had a romantic side. And then Doug proved otherwise.

8. Hey...if the weather is ok tomorrow night...
wanta go to dinner or something. We can commiserate about the sorry state of our collective love-lives. We can even drag flush_bush along if he's in town and have one big whine-fest about V-day and love and all that crap. :pals:

5. Pointless, just another day
If you're lucky enough to be in love, you should be celebrating that every single day.

If you aren't that lucky, then celebrate all the love in the world. Every single day, millions of people give their time, money, hopes, dreams and energy toward trying to make this world a better place, for us, for those less fortunate than us, and for those that come after us. THAT'S love.

9. A ridiculous made up holiday.
If you are so shallow you need to a get a gift to validate the love of your SO then you might have a problem.

19. if you have an so, recognize their importance
If not show your love for yourself. That's just as important! :)
Don't let the commercialism and forced sense of "whatever Valentine's Day is supposed to be" get you down too much. My son put a Valentine on my hubby's computer. That is what was sweet. Sniffle.

20. Good advice
I will be doing something creative for somebody anyway even if they don't like me so that they have the sense that they are not really alone. That someone out there does care. Maybe that's a stupid thing to say but I don't know.

You have a very good son. I'm sure you are proud of him. :)
