My husband didn't get me flowers

It's OK, though. He painted the house. That makes up for it!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone . . .

4. I didn't get any flowers either

We have been married 30 years and he has never sent me flowers.

Should I be worried?

[RockaFowler]

6. Not at all

We've been married for 5 years. I have never gotten flowers on Valentine's Day, though. Anniversary yes

7. Worried?

I think the 30 years cancels out the lack of flowers. ;)

10. Yeah I would wonder if he sent me flowers

He just isn't the flowers type.

5. Flowers last days, paint lasts years!!

True love is a well-painted house to be looked upon each day and appreciated. Especially considering the hours of labor that I'm sure went into it.

Plus, money saved is money better spent...on you (hopefully).

8. Thanks!

I love the new color, too. I'm kind of glad he didn't buy the flowers. I like the house better!

9. The flowers would only die anyway!

I never got the point of flowers. :)

11. I'd rather have the cash....

12. My father didn't spring for the flower thing for my mom, either.

He got her an MP3 player, though, which I am not allowed to touch.... x( x( x(

Happy Valentine's!

15. I hope this will make you feel better about it

The Pesticide Action Network North America says that "behind the facade of perfect conventional roses lies an industry based on labour exploitation and pesticide poisoning of women and children -- a jarring disconnect from the noble feelings that drive demand for flowers on Valentine's Day."

Millions of roses are imported from Ecuador, Colombia and Mexico. And because they're not food items, they're exempt from pesticide testing. This allows flower growers to rely heavily on toxic chemicals that also poison their workers, says the pesticide network.

Up to 70 per cent of floriculture workers in Ecuador and Colombia are women, and in Ecuador another 20 per cent are children, the group notes.

16. Yes I do feel better

I think the paint will last longer and make me feel better.
