I love how almost every innocent fun little VJ topic gets turned into a debate and people start getting so serious. Get over it. It's just a forum!

SOL

P.S. My husband is the most romantic person and we will be celebrating Valentines by staying at home and he's going to cook dinner. We'll light a fire in the fireplace and crack open a bottle of wine. (He is the best cook ever) No gifts bc we believe it's more about spending time together than spending money.

Happy Valentine's Day Everybody!

to add to the debate:

I do think that valentine's day is a day built on commercialism and MONEY MAKING. It may have some relevance somewhere, but has been hyped by people to make money.

If you need a special day to tell your SO that you love them...I PERSONALLY think that is sad.

That said, if my husband were here I'd love to celebrate it, but he is romantic all the time. He doesn't need a mandated, publicized day to get me flowers, take me out to eat, etc etc.

I say celebrate it and have fun but take it for what it is....

a money making holday!

What I don't get is why people get so bothered if other people enjoy the day. What should it matter? If they don't want to do anything....fine....but what's the difference if someone just wants to express that extra little something today? That doesn't by any means translate to not being romantic on any other day of the year. It's not an all or nothing. *shrug*

I did say it was a "personal" viewpoint. You do what you want and enjoy it, I'm sure you will.

I personally think it's the most unromantic day of the year and personally I believe it's a license for a lot of people (note: not everybody) to be unromantic for the remaining 364 days of the year. Why have a day of the year set for us to be romantic? I don't personally get it. "sh*t, it's Valentine's day so I'd better pop into the gas station on the way home and pick up a bunch of flowers" will be ringing through many (note: not all) men's brains tonight when they finish work, probably the usually most romantic of men. Shout at me for that if you want but that's definitely true. These same men that have done, probably on the spur of the moment, far more romantic things throughout the year for their partner but will get it in the neck if they don't make an effort for today. It's nuts. Valentine's day is a complete cop-out and the most pointless holiday of the year for people that are already in relationships. Forget about Valentine's day, is what I say, and reserve the energy for being romantic for other days in the year, of your own decision, and not by what the calender, Hallmark or Interflora have to say. If we can't do that then it proves how such a cop-out Valentine's Day really is...personally.

Happy Valentine's Day to those who don't share that opinion, I hope you have a wonderful day (said without sarcasm).

It might also be because it's my birthday 4 days after!

ok! :lol::lol::lol:

And Happy Birthday in 4 days...! :P

Well said. :thumbs:

SOL, I don't see a debate. It only becomes a debate or "serious" when people make comments such as yours.

I hope people have a lovely Valentine's Day. Pax and I will, by having some sushi tonight (albeit 4,500 miles apart) but I don't need Hallmark to remind me to tell her that I love her. Although I did indeed send her a card.

Nope Nope Nope, I never make these completely unimportant VJ topics a serious debate. But I love annoyting people bc frankly, it makes me laugh.

Yep, Karo, doing tons of Laundry, so glad my kiddo sleeps in his own room now, lol. And now I wish I had an hour lunch break instead of just 30 minutes. *Hits forehead* "Why did I agree to that?" Well, good thing I live like 5 minutes away, lol.

ooops! seems you fell into the trap... ;)

wait, it wasn't a Valentine card...

it was a "remember it's my birthday in 4 days but don't mention my age" card.

I jest, I jest.

I'd send you a B-Day card in 4 days, but I don't want to fall into THAT segment of the Hallmark trap... :no::hehe:

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
