My favorite Valentines card was one I got for my wife may years ago when I was a test Technician on a landing at Omark Industries. This log had a stub left on it, and when I wiped it off, it left a heart shaped knot! I carefully cut it out about the size of a card, and gave it to my wife for valentines day. We still have it in the kitchen window.
I dont ever have to worry about V-day. I went into this big speech about how V-day is a conspiracy against men and their wallets and how its just one more hallmark holiday built on commercialism. She agreed so never have to worry about V-day ever.
I forgot my anniversary once (first one). I was in the card section last night along with about 50 other last minute thinkers. It was funny. I never will forget again....hopefully.
For the twentieth time....in twenty years....I baked a heart shaped German Chocolate cake. This time with a thin layer of chocolate under the coconut-pecan frosting. I'm not partial to German Chocolate, but <i>he</i> sure seems to appreciate it....every time.
It's only been in the past couple years that I've started getting 'presents' during the expected occasions. BUT....I've always been shown some type of appreciation in the way that I'm treated. ...every day. We argue....ALOT....but never speak a bad word to or about each other. If I'm in trouble, he's there. That didn't come out right.............
I tell the younger wives I've met not to sweat it. If they really want a present, AND (this part's important) <I>if they're being shown love/affection/respect the rest of the year</i>....go buy it themselves and count their blessings. If it's a forced thing....it doesn't mean a whole lot. Besides, candy/roses are alot cheaper the day after the event!
Darin I screwed up my first anniversary also. I told my wife I could not think of anything to get her so she could go out and buy herself something. BIG mistake. Cost me $400 for vinyl window shutters
Ok, the answer to this question looks like it is on our homepage. We broke a record for most users online that day. 44!!! So 44 guys forgot it was Valentine's day. I am not complaining, thanks for the support....your wives may need a little support too sometimes. Oh, ya they make bras for their support, my bad. Got to love being a man.
