  • Q quiteSmart

    Two weeks from now, at the February 14, valentine’s day. The question here is what are you going to get for your beloved ones (girlfriends, wives, boyfriends, husbands, ….)? I don’t know yet what to get so I posted this question to get some ideas. Best regards.:rose:

    Which one is a typo, "Two weeks" or "march" ? :cool: I am a hermit. I don't have beloved ones. I might get that fat mouse in my cave some cheese. :~

      Nothing, don't believe in this shite (Valentine's Day). Started here (Austria) some years ago as an evil plot of jewelers and florists. I showed my beloved ones my love by not stepping into the present lunacy.

          I dropped off a big pot with a few tiny saplings + some words. The shrubbery does well, me not so much.

                    OK, so it's commercialised to within an inch of its life, and yeah, there's all sorts of pressure surrounding it, and yes we should treat our loved ones as if every day were Valentine's Day blah blah blah. But what's wrong with having a little "today we can be shamelessly romantic" day? I love seeing flowers being delivered all over the city, and at the end of the day seeing the objects of affection carrying those flowers on the bus or train (and the little embarrassed smiles that are passed around by the passengers). I love hearing about people's plans for the evening, or seeing cards on desks, seeing restaurants full of couples spending an evening together where they aren't working or draining their brain in front of the TV. And I even love (for about an hour) seeing cutesy, cheesy little teddybears holding hearts or flowers or something else sacharine. I just like seeing people being nice to each other instead of having that permanent scowl or frown that I see in the city every day.

                    cheers, Chris Maunder

                      If you really need to do something, go out for dinner or plan a fun weekend. Don't buy to much stuff, they'll just want more the next year :-D

                                  5. However, seeing all the cards etc. everywhere makes me feel depressed that I've no-one to buy/arrange romantic things for this year. :((

                                        Is that because of work?

                                        You mean because I love work so much ? Truth is, I work from home, I don't 'come home' at all.

                                          I work from home occasionally and that tends to be the only times my wife wants my undivided attention. Ill start hacking away for ten mins or so and then bam... she wants to talk. REPEAT!! This is probably the reason why I am still at work now, well besides trying to finish some code for an alpha demo I have today. Give me a couple of band aids and I can make it work (marriage and unfinished code!). Aaron
