This sleazy bit in the Vermont Teddy Bear commercial has bugged me for a long time:
“It’s a great gift for her, and it’s sure to pay off for you.” So this is what gift-giving is all about: putting a little pressure on the giftee to give “something” back.

I carry hinged cuffs, rather than chain ones, as you get much better control of your prisoner with them. I really doubt that the 50 shades girls would enjoy being properly cuffed. After many furballs involving cuffing people, I think someone who wanted to be cuffed would really, really creep me out.

After last night, and being out in the sub zero/ 30 MPH winds, I spent my day asleep with my electric blanket set for ” Roast “. Made me regret being a bachelor, as having wife who could slip into the bedroom every so often, and baste me so I browned evenly would have been nice.

Dear wife asked me yesterday where I was going. Weary of playing coy, and looking forward to her slight embarrassment caused by my violating a sort of protocol, I answered simply, “out to buy a Valentine’s Day card.”

Somewhat surprised, she assured me, “oh, you don’t have to do that.” I laughingly replied, “oh yes I do!” She gaily conceded, “but I admit, it’s highly recommended.”

I bought her two.

We've come a ways from The Bridges of Madison County.

re: chocolate and migraines – out of coffee, I tried unsweetened Hershey’s cocoa in my espresso maker and had 2 mugs (6 demitasse) of it. It tasted great and also got every walk, path, and trail around my house in Upstate NY shoveled out. It was like speed.

The flowers sound lovely!

The bearded brutus—I’ll have to think about that 🙂 .

I could not pass up the “hand-dipped strawberries” on this day. Like some others, I bring flowers home about 2 dozen times per year. Three-plus weeks ago I found some tulip bulbs which were neatly nested at the bottom of a large glass hurricane-type vase. Maintaining the water level just above the bulbs, those tulips have gradually grown and exploded in a shock of variegated red and yellow, “HAPPY HELLOS”. It’s akin to sunshine-in-a-jar.
They’ve lived far longer than cut tulips. I look forward to doing that every year now.

Happy Valentine’s Day to each of the ladies on neo’s site.
And to you, neo, I hope you get to kiss a bearded brutus today. Regardless, I am sending warmest of wishes to you.

My wife of 40 years does not like gifts on one single day a year. I bring her flowers 2 or 3 times per year and small thoughtful gifts on other days. If she doesn’t receive anything on February 14th she’s OK with that. “Take that, Hallmark cards”

We will visit our favorite restaurant, then come home, open a bottle of champagne, and watch Steve McQueen in The Get Away. Snuggle up with your honey and be thankful for the love you share with that special someone.

starlord:

But the idea is to go kinky-cute. Seems an oxymoron.

I saw this ad on TV, I believe on a news program.
