Yah Boo Humbug...

Post by **Oscar Namechange** » Wed Feb 13, 2013 11:54 am

Tomorrow Is Valentine's day.... you now what ? Yah boo humbug. My husband has told me I'm his world and he loves me several times a day for years since we married. Every day he shows me he loves me In so many ways... little things like making sure the dogs don't bark when I'm sleeping, buying my favourite biscuits, brushing my hair every night, calling to see where I am, making sure there's a pot of tea when I walk In the door, So I don't need some Idiot serving In a shop telling my husband he needs to buy me flowers. For the record, he buys me flowers every week and chocolates. Why do some morons think " Love" Is expressed once a year with a tatty old card and a wilting bunch of Daffs ? If you love your spouse then show It every day and make them feel wanted, loved and appreciated EVERY DAY.

I've never gotten the Valentines Day deal. I don't someone to tell me what day to be nice to my wife. It's stupid. Every man has to worry about getting something for their loved ones on V-day or else. Eff that. I f I haven't done enough day to day, what the hell difference does it make?

While we're on it, diamonds are stupid too. The diamond marketers have brain washed women into them believing that diamonds are a womans best friend. What a best friend...a semi precious stone that is worth less than a third of what you paid for it when you walk out of the store.

Added: Luckily my wife is on the same page as me. We were in a store the other day and we each picked out a VD card gave it to the other, read them, put them back and walked away laughing.

I so agree..especially about the diamonds although my husband has bought me diamonds before.

He came back from a large supermarket today where he said tens of middle aged men are buying bouquets of flowers.... Yeah, well buy them every week if she likes flowers.

My husband buys me gifts all the time and I'm more thrilled when he buys me a horse racing book

I think Valentine cards are for youngsters...it was always exciting to wonder who your admirers were (okay, often disappointing when you found out but fun until you did)

Yes, the whole idea was it was anonymous, that was the fun of it. Never have got my head round all the cards that say 'to my wife/husband on valentines day' :-2

Gosh, that's food for thought, what will I think tomorrow when I get my half a dozen cards through the letter box... I'll be thinking my neighbours must have sent them as a joke :wah:

Having forgotten my wife's birthday on the fifth I will not be giving her anything on St Valentines day, best keep on a roll.

Back in the 1990s, I worked with a woman who had a great sense of fun and humor. On Valentine's Day, she had come to work early and put Valentines on everyone's desk ... all from a famous person. Mine was from Paul Newman ... what a great start to the day! :-6:-6

We don't do anything special for Valentine's Day ... I think most couples reach a comfort level and don't feel as much pressure to prove the point.

On the flip side, maybe the holiday adds a little extra zest & romance in some people's lives. Where's the harm if they want it?

My wife is a simple woman, married to a simple man.

Never understood the flower thingy.

I can't recall how many times I got out of trouble picking flowers so to make up.

Better yet, sometimes just because.

Hate Valentines day, no flowers growing, gotta pay.

Valentines Day? You mean blackmail your man day? Screw it. My wife thinks it's a joke and has forbidden me spending anything on it years ago. We made plans to get away this weekend though, just for a change.

I like Valentine's Day, but then again, my husband always says I'm

low maintenance. He sometimes buys me just because flowers,

and long ago I taught him how/what to get me. Which is NOT a

florist quality $125 bunch of red roses. He can stop at Safeway

and buy me a couple of $2.99 bunches of daffodils or go to Home

Depot and buy me a flat of primroses... and I'm happy as a clam!

This year though I got my Valentine's Day gift early... a chainsaw!

:wah:

Want to know what a young teenager thinks of Valentine's day?

My great niece put this on facebook...

I think valentines day is ****ing **** **** **** and another way too waste money on some **** card and for most blokes too expect some action once they've brought you some underwear!!!

Happy "V" day all. V as in Valentines not Vagina. Although a Happy Vagina day sounds like a good idea to me. I hate angry ones.

I should have added.

This was my text to my wife this morning. Either everyone in her office is laughing or I'm in big trouble tonight.
