I am not hunting for photos to burn. I don't want to see that face again.

How about "Smash the romantic videotape!" Again, Louisville slugger required :banghead: .

Valentine's Day is an overated Hallmark overrun fabricated holiday designed to require men to shower their ladies with affection and gifts to prove their emotion/commitment/insert word here often times leading to disappointment and unrealized expectations.

I personally, regardless of relationship status at the time, don't acknowledge the day. When having fun with my girlfriends, we have on occasion acknowledged the day as (with the 14th falling on a Tuesday this year for example), BLACK TUESDAY. Dressed in our most femme fatale black clothing head out on the town for debauchery....
It's Winter time - you know you're a diver when you're scraping ice off your windshield INSIDE your vehicle...!

Great idea.

I offer this, as one who's girlfriend recently left him to return to her ex-husband. Always remember, living well is the best revenge. Relegating him/her to obscurity and insignificance is the way to go. I wouldn't even dignify her picture by burning it.

Such residual anger and hostility. I, for one, have never lost belief in the power of lust... er, I mean love. Heck, I'll probably spend Valentine's Day "commiserating" with an ex-GF of mine who rents a room from me. No, we're not kissing housemates... much more like brother and sister these days and we get along fine that way.

I can't think of a single relationship I still look back upon with anger and resentment. I remember the good things we shared, and I consider most of them to be good friends still. Of course maybe that's because my last real romantic relationship was about 5 years ago and I've forgotten the "pain." To clarify, it was a mutually painful breakup... both of us knew the relationship had to end, but neither of us really wanted it to. She and I are still good friends, I have immense respect for her (and she for me) and I stay with her when I'm in her part of Lost Angeles so we can catch up..

Such baggage... be careful. Remember that we are already pushing the weight restrictions when we fly with SCUBA gear. Don't carry so much... live a good life whether you are single or shacked up (just chose that for the consonance). It's just too damned short to let these things dominate your outlook.

Anyone out there want to try to break my heart for Valentine's Day?

:wub: Sounds like my kind of party! :lmao: Personally, I boycott any obligatory gift giving or receiving on any and all holidays. I enjoy giving and receiving gifts, but I prefer it when there is no reason at all. It's more meaningful that way.

Actually, I like my way of acknowleging it this year.

I am working a twelve hour shift (think four hours overtime pay) to cover for one of the husbands whose spouse is evidently getting good treatment that night.

More money for me, LOL!

Pitter patter, pitter patter!

I just finished writing my newspaper column for next week. It will be on the white spotted ROSE anemone and directed towards all the lovely ladies who read my column. Unfortunately it will be published on the 16th rather than before the 14th. However, Valentine's candy goes on sale at 50% off on the 15th! Of course the ladies receiving my "roses" must be prepared to avoid the stinging nematocysts just like those who receive real roses have to avoid the thorns!

Oh my gosh, you're right! For a moment I forgot where I was. Looks like it will be a love-fest with tie-dye, hairy legs, and sandals...

Isn't there a tree somewhere around here to hug.....? :D
