I told my girlfriend that I would rather do something the week before or after but nothing really happened with that. I've been busy so I put her in charge of deciding between a few places and making reservations. I'm more than likely going to barely have enough energy to make it through dinner by the end of the week so that's probably all that's going to go down.
B-movie 'celebrity'/autograph convention (along with 500 dateless wonders such as myself), school and whatever is going on later that night (Funky Sole probably)
I usually cook some kind of dinner with expensive ingredients that I usually don't buy. This year I'll be visiting with my mom. Going out to Otto's brauhaus. Tasty beers and weiner roast braten.
buy a blank card [one with no writing on the inside] and take a picture of the inside of another card and write it in the blank one when you get home. rule valentines day.
I'm buying my mom a dozen roses, as I've done every year since I was old enough to have a job.
Really? Dude?
Dude.
What's wrong with that?? I also do it on her bday and then usually once or twice randomly throughout the year, just to put a smile on her face. She raised me, my brother and sister well as a single mother, working 3 jobs to keep us above water. It's the least I can do.

I dunno man. There's just something... a bit wrong with getting mom involved on a day that has become (with the coercion of the gifting lobby, natch) a conduit for the commoditisation of carnal activity, of forced innuendo and glib saucy humour.
That, and the fact that my mum is a pain in the fucking arse. Jesus, the thought makes me shudder, and not in a good way.

Nah man, Valentines' Day is what you make it. Not that I necessarily celebrate it (though I used to back in the day), but it's never been about sex to me.
If was in a relationship, I might invite them into my apartment for a drink of water. That's it. No having a seat or using the restroom. Some water and then out and back onto neutral grounds. : icegrill:

It's not like he's giving his mom a bouquet of condoms and a nudge-nudge. I find the sentiment sweet and it shows that chivalry is, indeed, not dead.

Hallmark holiday no? Been tip toeing around the whole idea this year, been seeing this girl for a couple of months and trying to keep it lite nahmeans? I'm new to the area and when she suggested we skip the dinner and flowers and instead spent the day thrifting, I almost shed a tear. With all that being said I think it's super tight Herm sends flowers to his mom, we should all follow suite.
Yay if it has meaning to two people who love each other. It should be a federal holiday so I get the day off. Nay if I have to hear another single and bitter person rambling on about consumerism.
I made a nice mix via vinyl to cassette! I'm proud of myself. Actually want to keep it to myself. One side is boogie dancin music the other side is heart ripping country music.

Is it okay with the grumpy Brit if I get my daughter a box of chocolates?
I understand Herm's Momma Love.
My moms attempted to raise my sister and I to get her at least a card on Valentine Day.
When i got older i had to steadily ween her ass off that shit. Sorry Mommy, but this day is for my lady friends.
You have Mother's Day and your Birthday for that shit.

This was my favorite day to work when I was a server. A bunch of suckers looking to spend money.

three years later, HJNTIY is still an awesome movie.

needless to say she gets some flowers.
This is not a bad thing.
This is what happens when you quote out of context.
Avoid misunderstandings in later life, save it for 02/15
My dad's birthday too. Mine 'bout 9 months later. "Only Christmas and birthdays, thun..."
TRUE DAT.
