Hmm, Valentines day? I think I'll be spending a quiet one down the local gin joint as I've just separated from my partner after eight years. She still sent a V day card though which is a bit weird.

I used to buy bunches of flowers and take her out for a meal of her choice at a resturant of her choice. And last year I took her to the Algarve for a week.

Must admit, I never bought a kitchen appliance though... Must be where I went wrong

Somehow I think Neva would throttle me if I got her a mixer!!

...I'm just making my wife a card for V-day with the kids on it and giving her a hot oil massage...

Good idea. Maybe I will do the same. Just add a single flower to the card.

You kidding? Not only does she put up with me and got me a printer for a previous Valentine's Day, but she can give me a run for my money in UT!

She's a special lady, I got damned lucky and I know it.

BTW-The KitchenAide is not a household appliance, it's a luxury item from hell for anyone into cooking/baking.

Hey, I'm still taking her out for dinner. But I am planning on looking at the mixer when we get back and saying something like, "Where's my f*cking cookies or cake. You've had that damn thing for days and you haven't made me anything with it yet?!"

Sara and I got away for a nice dinner and a room at the Hilton last weekend. It's our tradition to to Valentine's day the weekend before valentines day for 2 reasons:

1) You don't get torn quite the new ass on hotel pricing, nor do you get the crowds at restaraunts.

2) It's easier to get babysitters when it's not actually valentine's day!

Oh no! Domestic appliances have invaded the B3D board discussions
As if I've not had enough of it at home (he still wants a laundry mangle.)

Hilton? Nice! Which one? I go the the gym attached to it (LivingWell and Hilton are partners or something) in Angel, London... Pretty cool place, very expensive...

Hmm, I got a recycled Valentine's day card as my gift. It's not the exact same one from several years ago, but it is the same card.

Man is she gonna' owe me a R420 or NV40 here in a few months or what?

Oh John, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I sent that card years ago. I'll send you that R420 as soon as it's out.

John:
What did you expect?
That's what you get for giving household appliances for Valentine gifts.

 

[RussSchultz]

Hrm, we went out last night to a french restaurant with some friends. Wow--an outrageous bill.

p.s. escargot tastes like buttery garlic.

 

[John Reynolds]

I'm tellin' 'ya, she loves her mixer. My wife is very practical like that. One of her all-time favorite Christmas gifts from me was this huge cookbook I bought her years ago. Anyways, I'm taking her out to her favorite restaurant tonight.

Hmm, gold sample NV40 or AIW R420 now that I've thought more about it.

 

[Clashman]

My girlfriend has to work today, (grrr). After she's done though, we're going out for dinner at this Indian Restaurant which is supposed to be fantastic. I got her some slippers, (she hates wearing socks, and when she's over at my house that usually means she has very cold feet), and a box of chocolates, (not just getting them because "that's the thing to do", she loves em). I'm also planning on making her a card today.

In two weeks we're having a kinda in-between Valentine's day and our 1st anniversary getaway. We're staying for a weekend in this little ma 'n pa hotel on a lake in Wisconsin. It should be nice.

Just pulling your leg. I know that there are women who enjoy beeing in the kitchen, and like kitchen-thingys just as much as (many) men like power-tools.

So, your wife gave you the same kind of card as "several years" ago. She probaly wanted to say that she love you as much as she ever did. (Or, that's the escape I would use. )

Me, I'd settle for an old card (as long as it wasn't pre written with some old boyfriend's name ). Heck, I'd settle for some girl smiling in my general direction, as long as it take at least a few seconds before I realize it was ment for the guy standing behind me.

Valentine's day suck.

 

[ByteMe]

Mine gets the displeasure of my company. Maybe I'll leave her alone and go out with my g/f.

 

[K.I.L.E.R]

Happy Valentines day Sage and Tagrineth.

I've got no other females in my life.

 

[DemoCoder]

My wife actually likes wearing lingerie, so she doesn't get mad if I buy her some on v-day, even though it's a gift for me. Of course, she gets flowers and dining out too. This year she's buying me a Freedom Chair to replace my ailing Aeron. She knows I want either electronics or furniture accessories.

Valentine's day suck.

I played some War3 with a friend, and some UT2004.
I quite agree with your conclusion.
