Australian. Good call!<BR/><BR/>Hi TKJ,<BR/>Ah, men stick together. Hope you made up for your quashed Valentine's plans.<BR/><BR/>Hi Deb,<BR/>Agree totally. My daughter made Valentine's for the cats..I thought that pretty cute though.<BR/><BR/>Hi Donna,<BR/>Thanks for visiting. Card companies, florists, chocolatiers...all do very well out of it.<BR/><BR/>Hi JIP,<BR/>VD happens to be our cat's birthday. Hence we remembered, otherwise, forget it.<BR/><BR/>Hey Patient Anonymous,<BR/>The school thing is awful. I mostly went to an all girls school so it wasn't so bad. The last two years of high school was co-ed and it was just painful for many people. Selling roses at school? Aiee.<BR/><BR/>Hey McKay,<BR/>A well written note can never be undervalued...talking of which, I owe several letters.....HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409589783052980600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26538027.post-35634680783294688552007-02-18T15:04:00.000+11:002007-02-18T15:04:00.000+11:00a very good post, pych, i've never been fond of VD...a very good post, pych, i've never been fond of VD..<BR/><BR/>.too much pressure to perform some romantical gesture on a particular day. i fall for the mush and feel the tug of loss when nothing happens, yet i still don't like the pressure, the day.<BR/><BR/>personally, a well written note can mean so much more than a bouquet (she says, not quite believing it...wild daisies are good...) ...when one gets neither, one can seek solace in friends and family. a valentine from a child can fill a huge hole.mckayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104054006183829611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26538027.post-772746800486738272007-02-17T06:32:00.000+11:002007-02-17T06:32:00.000+11:00I have neer been a fan of "commercialized" holiday...I have neer been a fan of "commercialized" holidays. I don't feel you need to have a designated "Day" to express something to someone. You should do it whenever you feel like it.<BR/><BR/>That being said, I have participated in the "Valentine's Day Ritual." I do know that it is important to some people and that should be respected. If "simple" gestures can carry that much weight then they are surely worth it for the other person's sake?<BR/><BR/>Although, now having become part of the "ritual" that is not meaningful to *me* I often wonder if I need to keep it up? That is just <I>one</I> of the reasons that I dislike these stupid holidays! It does set up expectation for some people!<BR/><BR/>I remember when I was a teenager in high shcool and they had a program where you could send flowers to other students. Are you mad?! Talk about crushing already fragile hearts and egos! You could *feel* the disappointment when certain people didn't get a rose from someone when they desperately wanted one.<BR/><BR/>And even as little children when you'd circulate your little "valentines" and someone wouldn't drop one in your little box or bag!<BR/>Yes, again, absolute devastation!<BR/><BR/>As for me? I couldn't give a (fill in the blank.) No one need buy me anything! If you were to, I would certainly appreciate it but it's really not necessary.Patient Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443612027249870621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26538027.post-34125309883799098852007-02-15T13:10:00.000+11:002007-02-15T13:10:00.000+11:00we couldnt care less in fact it was our hubby who ...we couldnt care less in fact it was our hubby who remembered not us :Pjumpinginpuddleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02701383598841540578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26538027.post-88993409290997075402007-02-15T11:02:00.000+11:002007-02-15T11:02:00.000+11:00I'm with Deb.
