(No, not THAT V.D.)

What are we getting/what did we get for the significant other for this Valentine's Day?

What are we getting/what did we get from the significant other for this Valentine's Day?

What are we doing (keep it clean, please) with the other on, or in view of, this Valentine's Day?

----> Is it/will it be/will it have been/was it enough?

----> Is Valentine's Day overrated, a crock, quite nice, or what?

Spill the beans and discuss them (in terms of societal policy, if that makes it a Hot Social Topic).

Lost also said there's a corner market where he lives that employs 1,000 people including a cook that makes $60K. Makes you wonder who is popping pills, doesn't it?

A wedding on V.D. sounds pretty romantic, for the chief couple and the attendees.

We're having a dinner at one of our favorite Italian joints and I always buy roses for the Mrs. We have yet another major storm forecast for tomorrow and Sunday, just hoping the snow holds off long enough so we don't end up driving in a blizzard.

Another foot + coming. That will be about 7 feet in 3 weeks.

Are you for real? Where do you hide one of those?

They're stealing them right out of peoples driveway, sheds and garages. Couple guys drive up in a pick up, grab the machine, throw it in the truck and they're gone. I don't think they're worried about hiding too much, the market is so hot for them right now they probabl sell them without ever taking them off the truck. There are no snowblowers left in the stores anywhere.

Staying put. Grilling, drinking some good wine and enjoying the sunset at the beach. No gifts.

What's a beach?

It's really crazy Spooks, another one forecast for Wednesday as well. Did you see the stories on the news about all the stolen snowblowers?

Shhhhh! Do you know anyone looking for one..............:devil:

They're heavy too. I'm glad Igor has a strong back.

Spoken like a true CABA!

also like a true caba, tomorrow i'll spend most of the day working from home and orfee will spend most of the day working his second job and by the time we're done bringing home the bacon we'll probably do what we do every night, drink some ipas, play some dr mario on the big screen, and let the cats in and out of the house a bijillion times because as soon as they come in they forget how gd cold it is and want back out.

You forgot the part about popping pills and smoking weed.
