Men never understand hints. They need telling directly.
I don't know what love means to me. I'm not really fond of it. Bah! Humbug!

Yep, chocolate and cheesy cards day. Just for the heck of it, I was reading some of the cards they have out for V-day this year. I could barely contain the alternating waves of laughter and nausea!

I mentioned to him that I needed a new pair of slippers, and that while I was shopping there was a very cute pair of ladybug ear rings. I supose he just thought he'd merge the two. They are warm when worn as earings

My wife is old, stupid, fat, ugly, moody, lazy, ill-tempered, opinionated, self-centered, has a wicked left hook, and she snores. But I stay married to the ball and chain. If that ain't love, what is? Happy St. Valentine's day all.

FAQ: Valentine's day is just round the Corner
1. What is the history of Valentine's Day?
Valentine's Day can be traced back to ancient Roman times, where a festival called Lupercalia was celebrated in mid-February. It wasn't until the 5th century that Pope Gelasius declared February 14th as a Christian feast day to honor St. Valentine.
2. Why is Valentine's Day associated with love and romance?
The origin of the association between Valentine's Day and love is not entirely clear, but it is believed to have originated from the story of St. Valentine, who was a priest that secretly performed marriage ceremonies for soldiers who were forbidden to marry during the Roman Empire. He is also said to have sent a letter to his jailer's daughter, signed "Your Valentine" before he was executed.
3. How is Valentine's Day celebrated around the world?
Valentine's Day is celebrated in many different ways around the world. In some countries, it is a day to honor friendship and love in general, while in others it is more focused on romantic love. Some common traditions include exchanging gifts, cards, and flowers, as well as going out for a romantic dinner.
4. What are some alternative ways to celebrate Valentine's Day?
While traditional gifts and activities like chocolates and fancy dinners are popular ways to celebrate Valentine's Day, there are also many alternative ways to celebrate. Some ideas include taking a trip or weekend getaway, cooking a special meal at home, or participating in a fun activity together like painting or dancing.
5. How can Valentine's Day be celebrated for those who are single?
Valentine's Day doesn't have to be just for couples - it can also be a day to celebrate love and appreciation for friends and family. Some ideas for singles to celebrate include hosting a Galentine's Day party, treating yourself to a spa day, or volunteering at a local charity. It's also a great opportunity to practice self-love and self-care.
