Valentine’s Day
-
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

That's what i am talking about. Great esay man. But you didn't tell us, what will you get as valentines's present

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
V. I found a living worth working for, but haven't found work worth living for.
They will always want more. If you get a present the next year they want more. if you took her on a trip the next year she wont some new and more expensive place. more is written in their blood molecules

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:
Valentine's Day's coming? Aw crap! I forgot to get a girlfriend again!

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. :((

My wife always gets what she wants... the money! As long as she leaves me alone to program and persue other hobies(programming other things) I am a happy happy man.

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

Is there any way we can celebrate it alone? :~ Yup I'm single once again :sigh:.. but this is cool. It was sweet only for few months, later I realised I'm too lazy. I couldn't cope up with. I broke it off! pressed the rescue-eject button and now enjoying a cool , lazy, no-commitment life :cool: :beer:
Code-Frog:So if this is Pumpkinhead. Time for him to run and hide. It's an interesting thought really.

If Donna didn't work, I would rent an office somewhere.

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.
All the label says is that this stuff contains chemicals "... known to the State of California to cause cancer in rats and low-income test subjects."

I think evil Indian jewellers, gift shop owners, florists, RJs/VJs and hoteliers joined the plot around the same time. X| I show my beloved ones my love whenever I can; not when a bunch of business people from a different culture think I should.
Fully expecting to get flamed for this post...
Cheers, Vikram.

They are scowling *because* they are in the city. It's not like they look like that at home. Unless they live in the city.
