I know I posted this awhile back to give you guys a "gentle" reminder but it's down to the wire now! Make sure you get your sweethearts something nice for Valentine's Day! They'll appreciate it!
Oh - I'm not talking about your trucks either! LOL! You do something nice for them everyday!

 

CL-
I did it, I got the Valentines Day gift yesterday. I got her what she says she never gets....Flowers, and better yet, along with the flowers is a box of chocolates. Hopefully she likes it, if not that was the most expensive $60 I have spent..... Hopefully she doesn't get too embarassed at work, because that is where they are being delivered to.

 

I think I am ready for it! I will just have to grit my teeth and wait it out to see if I did good or not. I did the custom picture thing, burnt her a 'special' Valentine's Day CD, got her a shirt, some flowers and a ring (no, not that ring, but soon, I hope). We'll see!

 

Yeah me too, I got her a bottle of Chloe (her favorite) and some flowers. Also in the plan is a semi-romantic dinner, we'll have the kids with us, but still a nice evening regardless.

*Giggles like schoolboy* I think I'm gunna score!

Thanx for the reminder though CL. A man's failure to remember such things does'nt necessarily mean he's not still in love. But I don't even think that O.J.'s lawyers could argue that point successfully to an angry woman!

 

You know I really really tried. I went to the store and stood staring at cards for 5 minutes, then I couldn't take it anymore grabbed the first funny one and ran out of that section. And she wants flowers too This is punishment!

 

I hate Valentines day

 

The women are taking away our mod money!

 

I took car of V-day yesterday. Had to stop by Wally World, and while I was there I picked up a card, half dozen roses, and (*gasp*) a piece of exercise equipment for her.

 

That could be hazardous to your health.

 

Glad to see you guys remembered w/o any help from me! Yes - Johnnie Cochoran couldn't win this case on his best day! Women don't tolerate excuses like "I had no idea" or "Gee - I just forgot" since the advertising is plastered all over the place!
Dan - don't worry. You'll find someone to spend your $ on soon enough! I don't have anyone either so I look at it this way - we can save some $ for our trucks! Fearless is MY valentine - shhhh - don't tell my cat Patches that or he won't bring me his usual mouse gift!
GASGUZZLER - yes you're spending your $ on something other than mods but hey - aren't we worth it? You'd better be careful how you answer this 'cause there's more than 1 woman on this site! LOL!

 

Actually, she wanted it, and she learned 3 things a long time ago:

1 - Don't expect anything. When you start expecting it, you won't get it.

2 - Appreciate anything I get for you. If not, it may be the last.

3 - Ask me, don't tell me. If you ask me, I'll probably do it; it you tell me, I won't do it.

This may have caused a a fight or 2 early in our relationship. But, she also learned I'm harder headed than she is, and she has come to realize why I feel this way - it keeps both people from taking advantage of the other.

 

36fan - sounds like what I'm trying to do. So far she has really progressed in #2, but #1 and #3 are going to take longer.

 

I managed to find mine young and train her
We started dating when I was senior in high school and she was a sophmore - and that was 10 years ago

Don't give up, it takes time and many fights.

 

Happy VD to everybody... Hmmm... That doesn't look right. LOL

BTW, where is it written that the guy is supposed to do something for the gal? HUH? What's with THAT, HUH???? Why not the other way around??? HUH?????

 

I must be a lucky guy, because I have already gotten most of the 3 steps out of the way, but everyonce in a while she still has to flex her muscle and let me know who really wears the pants in the marriage..... That is ok, because I still have my truck that I can talk to, and it doesn't talk back unless something is really wrong or it needs gas......
