Teens at the grocery store (checker & bagger) laughing at the latest supermarket flyer as they were checking ringing me up. laughing that the store is hawking a dozen red roses for $24.99 this weekend. checker says they normally sell during NON Valentine weeks for $8.99 a dozen.

i asked him if he had a girlfriend. he says yeah. i laugh and say don't waste your money this weekend kid. take her out for a nice dinner and tell her you love her instead.

remind you of anything? :D

18. And the "right-hand ring" jeweler's ads are back again.

The same forces that insist we spend three months salary on engagement rings are trying desperately to implant the meme that, suddenly, one diamond isn't enough.

Surely, Comrade, you don't want your lady to walk in circles?

[derby378]

27. Yippee! Blood diamonds for everyone!

Beat those slaves harder - the missus wants a "Kobe" in exchange for putting out on VD!!

:sarcasm:

[Orsino]

29. Nothing says romance like misery.

Perhaps the diamond merchants are trying to move as much product as possible before those flawless synthetics (US$5/ct) drive them out of business.

[ScreamingMeemie]

32. When the heck did it become a "right hand" ring anyway?

My friend's daughter asked for a "right hand" diamond ring (get this, for her 12th birthday) and we had no idea of what she was speaking. :hi:

[Orsino]

39. A year or three back, maybe?

I saw it in a magazine ad, I think.

[Left Is Write]

40. Most florists will also jack up the cost of roses.

Sixty, seventy, eighty bucks for a dozen.

[deadparrot]

41. That's why I go to the stores in the days after 2/14.

Lots of delicious, unhealthy treats...75% off. :bounce:

[ZombieNixon]

42. Hooray! Matcom agrees with me!

At last! Validation! :bounce:
