    Default Life or Death Reminder

    Guys? Tomorrow is Valentine's Day.

    Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

    Have you picked up your cards, flowers, candy, or whatever else you get in order to increase your odds of living one more year?

    I'm going out for mine right now. Catch you later.

    Here's one household that doesn't go for that crap.
    Why?
    Because here, we are each other's Valentine every day of the year. (ahhhh , sweet!)
    Thank god both of us feel the same way...don't like it when we're supposed to do something just because a card co.
    or someone wanting to make $$$ decides it's the right time.

    Still...if there's no mutual understanding, listen to Ken. Why take a chance?

    You might have to do better than that even under these conditions.
    At least chocolate.

    I was at an outdoor show today and some enterprising young lady there was selling roses and cute stuffed animals to the guys right at the exit doors.

    Show was disappointing though. Not quite worth the $11 to get in and the $10 parking.

    THAT'S THE SPIRIT, BENESSE!

    It's those DAMN advertisers and those low-life advertising agencies that commercialize holidays and even the emotion of love. Those scum should all hang, right, BENESSE?

    Me and the wife went to a steak house for the bday and vday and then browsed around cabelas.
    Just a romantic candle light dinner at McDonald's would have been just fine with us anyway.

    BENESSE, I'm NOT a crusty ol' lawyer. I'm an SOB middle-aged lawyer.

    And I am immune. It's just that my sweetie isn't. However, she makes up for it in other ways.

    And there's a store close by that sells cards for all occassions at 2 for $1.00. There's a darn good return on a fifty-cent investment.....

    I just made my wife one of them flower thingies that women ware on their Blouse. I even used real flowers.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Some of our BEST target audience!

    And I am immune. It's just that my sweetie isn't.
    However you want to explain it away is fine with me.
    However, she makes up for it in other ways.
    Smart girl!

    And there's a store close by that sells cards for all occassions at 2 for $1.00. There's a darn good return on a fifty-cent investment.....

    Full day pamper treatment at spa.......... Massage head to toe, manicure, Pedicure, facial, hot oil scalp treatment, the works........

    Now I need to fugure out what to give HER But seriously. After her putting up with me for a year she deserves that and a whole lot most.
    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.
