    Valentines Day

    Do you really need one day of the year to let your significant other know how you feel? LOML and I feel the same about February 14. We know how each other feels and show it all year. Why should I have to do something more on one day just because the card companies/florists/jewelery stores say so? The only reason that Valentines Day stands out for us is because LOML said "yes" 21 years ago. I think it would be hard to top that one.

      Somebody's got to get the economies going. I guess it's up to the lovers.

          Are you saying you got married on Valentines Day? What a way to gather it up. Within a three month period, Dec - Feb, We have Christmas, LOML birthday, our anniversary, and Valentines Day. That's dinner out (no jeans or sneakers), cards, and gifts. Whew!

              In December we have birthdays for 3 of our kids (Dec. 7, 23, 24), my wife (Dec. 3), and myself (Dec. 20). We also have Christmas (like everyone else), and our anniversary (Dec. 28). Do I win? I guess I should get her something for Valentine's Day.

                      With my former wife I always felt this "performance anxiety" when it came to gift-giving, planning dinners for Valentine's Day, anniversary, etc. God help me if I forgot a major event.

                      Now that I'm dating again I am hoping to get it right. I think anything involving candelight, champagne and chocolate will please this gal.

                          That was the "yes", not the "I do". The "I do" came in June.

                          My point is this: Shouldn't you be telling your spouse how you feel all year round? I always do.

                              Got engaged on Valentine's Day forty years ago this Saturday. Got married on June 7th of that year. Forty years, and this is only the 2nd Valentine's Day I'm celebrating with LOML! Figure it's about time to get her something. Renewed vows coming in June. I agree, I tell her more than ONCE a year how much I love her.

                                  I'd do that in a heartbeat, but she couldn't handle the attention it would bring (52 years next Dec.).
