Are you shittin' me? I'm more than prepared Grinchypants... I just don't take it out on Dave! He'll need looking out for during the apocalypse, I'll be hacking and skull bashing for two of us. You're either with us or against us... don't make me set up an opposing camp of survivors.

(If i'm honest, Dave doesn't really believe it's going to happen... I have the biggest 'I told you so' primed, ready and stored with my machete, just for THAT day... )

That sounds like the Sian I remember. Ok, we’re cool. But listen, you know I’ve long suspected those select few who “don’t believe” in the imminent zombie apocalypse are most likely going to be the ones behind the whole thing. Just sayin’. Watch your back; we need you to survive the initial wave.

Surviving the apocalypse has been dominate me and my friends' conversations. It'll end up like the Donner Party - everyone eating each other. Mass hysteria.

Sure will. I have a vast wilderness to hide in and nothing personal, but if I catch any of you poking around in my woods, I will shoot and eat you. Happy V-Day everyone!

This is what I said. The cities will be concrete jungles. I'm either heading for the water, or the middle of the woods.

I'm taking the fiance' to lunch at The Ivy, and then to see the Harlem Globetrotters. She grew fond of the two Globetrotters during the amazing race, so I knew she wouldn't count it as going to a sporting event!

HOWLING!!!!!

If Valentine's is your thing, then celebrate it.....but be honest and open about it. It's not my thing as there are 364 other days of the year to tell someone that you care about them. I'd rather be alone one day a year than wish I was the other 364.

Well...I'd say your friend was a dick for not paying attention to his wife's wants/needs and he got what he deserved. On the contrary, if she expected him to get her something without ever communicating that Valentine's Day was important to her, she's just as much to blame.

For me? It's day 14 of the month the world was graced with my arrival. I celebrate my birthday in someway every day of the month. The 14th is just another day during my month long celebration.

Valentine's Day is a bullshit Hallmark holiday created to make men feel guilty for something they cannot do - read a woman's mind. It is designed to make women feel inadequate if their man doesn't get them something "good". I knew a girl who said Valentine's Day is the Super Bowl for women. Aside from nearly punching her in the face for putting the Super Bowl in the same sentence, I found it a pathetic representation of lots women.

I'm divorced and happily single. Valentine's was something my ex-husband and I discussed early on....during courtship. It wasn't important to either of us and we agreed to not make a big deal of it. Much preferred the random nicety, special dinner, etc than socially forced romance....and so did he.

why can't all women by like you

Know1 hit the nail on the head in regards to V-day

I've always been single on vday and I'm glad I am lol

mets...they broke the mold when they made me.....

beat the shit out of the mold maker too....

That's a very good point, my friend... He is a clever boy afterall... :think:
I'll watch my back. Maybe we need to establish a code word in case he turns and/or is behind it in anyway...

My special 'finishing touches' arrived in the post this morning... I'm all excited about Valentines now!

We've moved our celebrations to the Saturday now... Can't be getting drunk and breaking furniture on a school night now, can we?

Is she aware that the next season of The Amazing Race debuts Valentine's night?

Here in the colonies, we have a holiday Monday the 15th, President's Day, so we get to celebrate on VD proper.

i don't see why not, this has been happening on a nightly basis in Scottish homes for decades.

Just another day. If you need specified holiday to be romantic or nice to the one you love, then you're beyond help anyway. I'd rather do something for someone or have them do something for me on some random day rather than when they feel like they have to.

I agree. We celebrate two weeks later on the anniversary of our engagement. Every year we pick a different Hotel in NYC to go to and we do dinner and play (and play ). My favorite weekend of the year.

sweet!


seems we got engaged around the same time. mr. dream proposed to me 02.26.91.
sounds like a GREAT weekend!


funny too, this year will be the 3rd year in a row that we've taken the last week in february off together. was never even a conscious decision about being off for that anniversary, but i like it and now will have to make a point of it this year. having a staycation, but yea....still should be fun!


and hey, i am ALL for 'celebrating'....whatever really, any time of year. just making a conscious choice to do a little more, go the extra mile, be a wee bit more romantic or different from the usual day-to-day....always good, whatever the 'excuse'; heart day, anniversary, b/c it's a full moon....or simply b/c you just decide to do so randomly ......all good reasons.....
