Okay people, what'd you get your SO for the big V-Day?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

Me? I got my wonderful and amazing girlfriend tickets to the Shakespeare Theatre, dinner reservations at a fancy restaurant, a few out-of-print CDs from a band that she loved but lost them a while ago, and flowers and chocolates to be delivered to her at work on Valentine's Day.

How bout you guys and gals?

[Shell Beau]

1. I am getting him the rest of the series to the Sopranos.

He has the first 2 seasons so now I am getting the rest! :hi:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. And that's why you're the best.

:-) :loveya: :hi:

[Shell Beau]

4. Awww, thanks!

:blush: :loveya:

[GalleryGod]

12. Whattttttttta Dame !?!

[aclog]

3. so were you baiting to see if someone would make a VD crack?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

5. Actually, no, but hey, a gift's a gift.

I hear crabs aren't in season though.

[aclog]

9. what you give is what you get as they say

[Squatch]

6. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day...

any more than any other day. Just another Hallmark Holiday designed to separate you from your money.

[aclog]

7. right but if the end result is getting laid

I can handle that :)

[Squatch]

8. What do you do on the remaining 364 days of the year

that are not Valentine's Day?

[aclog]

10. still shell out the dough obviously

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

11. So is Christmas. Doesn't mean it's not fun.

So what if it's designed to get you to spend money? It's a good excuse for a night on the town, so far as I'm concerned, not that one is needed, but it certainly enhances things a bit.

13. I'm going to be in Las Vegas.

I'll be at a General Manager's convention for my job. :-( However, the following weekend we're going to new york for a romantic weekend, including dinner, a show, and maybe a few other "surprises".

[In_The_Wind]

14. Zip ~

But I'll cook a nice supper for my house mates.

I'll be sure to add a baked sweet potato for the keeper of my heart, my parrot.

[Gormy Cuss]

24. That's one lucky bird.

I pet sit a canary and it's always fun to give him his veggie treat. This bird loves greens and was thrilled by the gnarliest piece of kale. He thanked me with a very long and exuberant song.

[In_The_Wind]

26. That's one very spoiled bird!

I've changed a lot of my eating habits to accommodate Frodo. We'll be celebrating her 5th birthday this month. She's better than a TV for entertainment. There is nothing like bird love to bring massive amounts of joy into your heart!

Thanks for telling me about your canary sitting experience. Do you bring the bird to your home or do you just check in on him?

[Gormy Cuss]

28. His folks go away on vacation, and so does he.

He recognizes the room at our place now and seems to settle in within a couple of hours. He chatters with the birds in our 'hood quite a bit, as if he's working the room. Like most male canaries when he feels like singing it's a spectacular song with trills and repeating motifs. I keep hoping one of the darn mockingbirds will pick up on the good singing but no luck so far.

[Mizmoon]

15. we just remodeled the house

so we're giving each other a remodeled house :)

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

18. Ahh, but what ever shall you do IN the remodeled house?

:evilgrin:

[Mizmoon]

19. I just put up new blinds too

so you'll have to use your imagination :9

[LaraMN]

16. uhhhh.......uhhhhhh......

we still have FIVE DAYS! I'm in trouble, I've no good ideas.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

17. Something I've always found a bit curious...

It seems like all of my female friends have never really had any clue what to do for their guys on Valentine's Day. Guys are usually painted as the inept ones, and yet my own experience seems to be vice-versa. I wonder why that is... :shrug:

Note: I'm not trying to make any social statement or create any stereotypes, I'm just wondering aloud.

[LaraMN]

20. Wonder away.

He may very well be getting a toaster oven.

[Mizmoon]

21. In my experience men over about 25

tend to have the money they need to buy themselves the little things they want, so it's hard to find something reasonable that they don't already have. My mom goes through heck even though her hubby is a big baseball and golf fan and a cigar smoker - he has every accoutrement ever invented for each interest. Leaves her scratching her head ... what would actually make him happy?

On his end all he has to do is bring flowers and a card, or a piece of jewelry if he's feeling spendy, and she's all set.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

23. You're missing the obvious!

If she's feeling spendy, all she needs do is get him tickets to a game! Or a gift cert. for greens fees.

Believe it or not, every guy has his equivalent of "flowers and a card, or maybe jewelry", something you can never get enough of and will always make him happy.

And I try to stay away from that whole routine anyway. Too cliche. Yeah, I did the whole flowers/chocolates thing, but I sent them to work to make her co-workers jealous and make her the center of attention. :-)

[MissMillie]

22. Nobody loves me

so I'm off the hook.

[jakefrep]

25. Not a damn thing...

...I don't have an SO, so I have no reason to observe Valentine's Day.

[Kerrytravelers]

27. The honor of being married to me!

Actually, we're going on vacavtion at the beginning of march, so we're hanging onto our money until then!

[liberalhistorian]

29. Well, once again and as

usual, I don't have an SO on V-Day, so I can't really answer that. I sure wish just once V-Day would fall on a Saturday or Sunday so I don't have to watch all the other women in whatever office I'm in get flower deliveries all damned day.

[Missy Vixen]

30. I already have two cards for him

He really likes "Cool Water," so I'm thinking that might be the way to go this year. He's taking me out Friday night, too. :loveya:

31. We don't

Between December and end of Feb, we have our anniversary, Christmas, two kids birthdays, and my birthday. I just make a nice dinner for after the kids go to bed, and that way we can pay the mortgage. ;)

[Deep13]

32. We don't usually celebrate the end of WW 2.

:evilgrin:
