see heres what I dont get...

we live in a country where stories of hate and sadness FLOOD our news near 24x7.

but here we have a single day thats been set aside for expressing a higher emotion like love and you get people sh*tting on it for one reason or another.

FORGET the who or why the day exists and run with it!

save the hate for the OTHER 364 days of the year.



I'm going through a divorce... today everyone will be rubbing their happy lovey dovey relationships in my face... You want me to be nice? go to hell.

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

Well, Fozzie, traditionally Valentine's day is for couples and less a celebration of love for everyone (at least that's how we treat it culturally) but I don't see any reason not to take the day to express love for SOMEONE, like you said- family, friends, etc.

check the valentines day card isle and you will find cards for Moms, Dads, Kids, ... Friends. And thats not a call to buy them all cards (though Im SURE the Hallmark company would love it if you did), its an invitation to reach out and connect with those people and reaffirm that you care back.

If a person is so destitute as to have nobody left in the world that cares about them, THAT is a person worthy of pity.

True nuff- but you must admit that when you hear "Valentine's Day", the first thing to pop in your mind is probably a romantic couple, not your mother or best friend!

getting a cuddle from a sweetie is definitely nice, I get that... but recognize that its a self-created boundary to the day though. All you have to do is lift your vision a little bit to see beyond that and all kinds of possibilities open up.

The day is (always) your own, make it what you will.

I don't quite get emphasis on the holiday....just seems so fake.

Love her/him everyday, show it when you can, not on the day you're told to.

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.
