Yes, I have. Is it any of your business? No.

As I stated, I meant no offense.

And how come you blow up on me when I call it stupid yet when others did you said nothing?

Excuse me, If stating my opinion is immature, then hell, i'm immature. I never claimed to be mature.

And, if it's not serious, then why does it matter if I call it stupid or not?

Sorry, from the way you worded it, it sounded like you implied it. And I get offended very easily. I'm pretty sure you'd be offended too if I said something you made is stupid. And the reason I "blew up" on you was because you were the only person that I saw that said it in such a rude way... Other people were a lot more respectful about it. You just straight-out said it's stupid. Next time can you please keep negative things to yourself unless you can figure out a nicer way to say it? Sort of like from the children's movie, Bambi, "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all." That's all I ask... Thanks

As I said, NO OFFENSE.


Next time, read before blowing up. I meant no offense, meaning you shouldn't be offended. And as I said, i'm sorry you were.

If you want to think something I make is stupid -- then go straight ahead. It's your opinion and I can/would/could respect that.

Others stated it the same as me, but when I said it, you blew up at me and just me. Even those who did say it the same way wondered why you chose just me to blow up on.


Again, I meant NO OFFENSE.

I like Valentine's Day.

No, I don't go all out but I look at it as a day to remind your loved ones how much you appreciate them. Yes of course you should tell them every day but let's face it, we don't always have the time or energy to do that.

I like doing nice things for people I love and Valentine's Day is just another reminder to do so, IMHO.

Celebrating Valentines day has only been in NZ for around five years , so its a new experience for most of us,so in my younger days there was no such celebration.

Hubby and I celebrate it, but we donot go overboard, I have a card and we are going to the movies thats it, but its the quality time alone that we will have that is important and special, We don't need a certain day set aside to celebrate our love for one another, infact our anniversary means way more to me than some over-commercialised day.
I would like to share the words on my card with you.
A VALENTINE POEM FOR MY HUSBAND

For the man who took me as his bride,
whose kisses leave me starry-eyed,
who understands my every mood,
Whose patience rarely comes unglued,
The man who knows I'm not a saint,
(and lets me know he's glad I ain't).
Who shares my secret dreams and wishes,
And (sometimes) helps me do the dishes,
The man I fuss at now and then,
But love to make up with again.
My faithful friend and sympathiser,
My handyman and big supriser,
The one who makes my life complete,
Who warms my heart,
and my cold,cold feet,
'The man I love the whole year through,
THE WORLD'S BEST HUSBAND HONEY YOU.
These words really describe how I feel about my hubby and are so true. hope you don't mind me sharing.

P.S. Even though I think Valentines day is not really necessary and people just go over the top sometimes, its up to each individual what they do, and I respect that, and besides I am really just a hopeless Romantic at heart, Hubby is not really the Romantic type, but he will celebrate it because he knows it's something I like to do.(besides I have all those young year's I missed out to make up for) with the love of my life.

Thank you, Carole........my sentiment, exactly.

A thought for those of you who are alone, Please donot feel sad, it really is just another day, I Know its difficult, when it surrounds you and its in your face every year on the 14th, but take a positive attitude and remember its just an over-commercialised day, at least you can save some bucks he he.

I know you are thinking you are a fine one to speak, but I spent ten years of my life without a partner, and though valentines day was not celebrated, I felt alone many times, just going to the park with my son and seeing couples together, used to pull at my heart strings, so I know how you are feeling.

Just enjoy the love of your pets,friends, families,and keep your spirits up, let the day pass without feeling too bad, life is good and valentines day is really insignificant in comparison. Cheers everyone and my love to all of you who are alone or feeling blue.

Just in case anyone needs a good reason to be happy on 2/14, our Murphy Girl will celebrate her 14th birthday!!!! What better reason to have a "love fest" on that day!!!!!

[carole]

First I wish to say dis-regard my previous threads, Valentines Day is just a crock, all it has done is upset me and make me feel annoyed with my husband, every year for three years I have religiously bought him a card, and yes you guessed it, I have never received one back, he is so slack and un-romantic, I just feel disappointed.

I have decided not to celebrate it anymore, and take my own advice and treat it as just another day, We had agreed not to buy presents and go to the movies instead, but I thought he would have least got me a card, but no, I should have known better.

So here I am on Valentines day feeling hurt, so whats the point,it just verifys what I knew about my husband all along, he is thoughtless sometimes.

Oh well I sure hope you all have a better day than me, time to move on and forget about it all.

[Kfamr]

Although that is unfortunate, I think it's your husband to blame rather than the day.

[micki76]

Well Carole, that just sucks. Men can be thoughtless and inconsiderate some times, but they’re only human. I’m thoughless and inconsiderate about holidays, birthdays and anniversaries, too. My husband is the one who always remembers and gets me something nice. I always forget and/or get him some crappy, cheesy gift.

Chin up, and Happy V-Day. You know your furkids will always be there, no matter what and they never hurt your feelings.

[carole]

Kayann you are right, and Micki yep those furbabies will always be there for me no matter what the lil darlins, but hey Micki maybe you should make more effort to try and remember special events, because being on the other end of it, hurts, when you are forgotten.(just some friendly -well meant advice )

Anyways I am over it now, life goes on. it is not that big of a deal!!!

I know, Carole. I try, I really do. I just don't remember, because it's not important to me to recieve things on those special days and I forget that it's important to him. I know I love him and I show it on many ways throughout theweek, month, & year.

I've even gone so far as to put reminders in Outlook, since we use that at work. After your post I went back and moved my reminders up by a week, so that I can hopefully get out early and get him a nice gift instead of the last minute Walgreen's gifts.

[carole]

Good on you Micki, thats the spirit, I know my husband show's me too that he loves me, but it still hurts when they seem so thoughtless, and you are the one always being the thoughtful ,romantic one, so keep trying,you will get there in the end, and he will be sooo....suprised. I bet he will appreciate, just being thought of as well., it is the thought that counts in most cases.,.is for me anyhow. cheers.
