The only redeeming thing about 2/14 is that it's the day before 2/15, which is my birthday.

Happy Early birthday.

My i s c & a aggie wife and I don't ever do anything for Valentines for all of the above-mentioned reasons.  Dinner out is a bad deal and a bad time, flowers are way too expensive at this time (and at Mother's Day) so I skip the flowers and buy them on many other occasions.

However, our kids really like it, so we give them small presents and candy, and help them make or buy cards/gifts for their friends.  It's pretty cute how much they get into it, especially given how little we've ever stressed it in our lives.  Apparently Hallmark has ways of getting to them, without our interference.

If you're looking for cheaper greeting cards, go to Trader Joe's. Only 99 cents instead of a lot more. Same for flowers. 

I'm firmly in the "don't like Hallmark holiday" camp.

I got lucky, my wife doesn't believe in hallmark holidays. No, this isn't a cautionary tale either, she also doesn't like flowers because they just die.

Too late I sent a card made out of an empty TP roll and a nice combination ragweed & poison ivy planter.Figure you'd recognize them as you're usually hitting out of the rough/woods

Even worse, you take a living plant and chop it off from its sustenance just to watch it die. How sadistic is that? 

And the same women who want flowers think that sport hunting is disgusting. "What do you mean you're going to shoot that beautiful buck just so you can mount its head on your wall?? I can understand hunting for food, but just for display?"

Sorry lady, you want dead plants just so they look nice on your table for a week and then they go straight in the trash. How about a bowl of fruit, that you can at least eat?? 

Women who like flowers are just the sport hunters of the plant world.

Hallmark is effin' greedy.  It's bad enough spending $6.99 on a piece of cardboard with 17 impersonal words.  Flowers and dinner are fine and all, but some of the best gestures a man can do for his wife don't cost a dime.

Want to impress her?  Wash and clean out her car.  Offer to take the kids out for an afternoon.  Cook for her (and clean the kitchen afterwards).  Watch a movie with her that *she* wants to watch.
on the Hallmark channel???
