I decided on a day spa package, and a gift certificate package for 5 more massages throughout the year.
Did the big-time jewelry thing for Christmas, and we have our 5-year anniversary coming up this summer, so I'm going to have to figure something else decent out by then.
How are you going to spoil your girl on Valentine's?
haha
i'm not going to beat her for the entire day.
Today is our 7 year anniversary. I'll take her out to dinner at her favorite restaurant.
She gets nothing for Valentines day, just like every year. I won't be told when to show my love by a fake holiday. She gets plenty of affection and romance and if she doesn't like it, she's free to leave any time.
Unsurprising responses thus far.
Congrats on the 7 years, Dio.
Nothing. But I did get my boyfriend a Fossil watch. He loves it.
the break up and departed dvds
and we are going to ocean city to get drunk all weekend together
i'm doing that too, we're going to nyc for a few nights so i'll probably take her to a show or some shtein.
i was going to get my wife "The Breakup" as well, but i thought it might send a weird message to get that on Valentine's Dau
If she can't take a joke filled with delightful irony, it might be time for you to trade her in.
Pregnant.

i thought so too but she specifically asked for it...maybe she trying to tell me something
you'll know if Carp is at the house with a moving van when you get home
ipod.
Card. We already agreed to no gifts, as we're going out to a nice place for dinner with friends. Plus we're heading to A.C. this weekend, so we'll need the extra cash for the cab fare home.
Oh...I almost forgot...I also got her a three way with Yeti's wife and rjs.
Word.
I got my hand a brand new jar of vaseline.
Let me know if anyone will try this...and how it goes. (http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/uncensored.shtml)

I'm assuming that's d**k in a box? Obviously, that's the gift that keeps on giving.
That's too bad. That place kicks ass.

Yep.
Actually, I got her a minivan over the weekend. Happy freaking Valentines.
after 22 years of marriage, you would think I have my shtein together for holidays like this, no way! I struggle to be creative every year, and usually get the "oh thanks, that's nice" response. And while dik-in-the-box is inventive, it'll probably get the same response.
So, I'm now back to basics...flowers, candy, etc.
Get her some edible underpants, dis.
We decided we're gonna get married a while ago. Health insurance, etc. But she wants a ring. Okay, I can get her a ring. We both agree not too expensive, becuase we'd rather put our money against debt or into a home, but still, a ring.
Every farging ring I like and show her, she goes "meh." But she insists that I surprise her. farg!! Bitch, pick the goddamned ring and I'll buy it. But I NOT going to buy something she hasn't seen only to get the "oh thanks, that's nice" response.
You can't have your romance AND the ring you want.
Sounds like she doesn't quite agree with the "not too expensive" shtick. I agree though - if she puts it on you, she can't refuse what you come up with.
The romance and surprise is already gone from the situation. And good riddance. She's trying to have her cake and eat it too. Tough shtein for her. She'll get what you give her and like it.

Nah, she's on board with that. We simply have different taste, and I just can't get my head around what her taste is. Point is, if she wants to like this goddamned thing that she's gonna be wearing all the time, she needs to pick it out herself.

Yep. The solution is simple: she picks the ring herself, that way I know she likes it, or she doesn't get a farging ring.

If you're getting married for the "Health Insurance, ect..." reasons...make sure you invite a good divorce lawyer to the wedding.
there won't be a wedding. city hall.
I have a weird creepy acquaintance who got married for health insurance and other 'practical' reasons. Every time I see him and his wife they look like they are about to throw themselves off of the nearest tall structure. Pure misery.
Congrats, Dio!

Are you saying that most of your acquaintances are NOT weird and creepy?
Most married people look miserable. That's the way it goes.
i stole IGY's idea and bought "The Break Up" and "The Departed" for V-day.
However, Departed is for me

Well most people are also idiots. Especially about marriage/relationships. So I guess that makes sense.

Find one of her friends. Beat her until she swears to secrecy. Take her out to look at rings. When she finds one your ladyfriend would like, leave the store and have rough sex with her in the nearby alley.
My wife and i dont give gifts for Valentines day, just a special dinner. Lobster and Steak :yay
Made super awesome omelettes for breakfast. Went out to see Terry Pratchett, who was doing a book signing and talk here in Brisbane today. Went out to dinner. Came home and massaged some weary legs and feet.

Somebody got some last night ;)
I don't date between Thanksgiving and Valentine's day. It's basically a single guy's offseason. Tomorrow camp officially opens back up and I'm looking forward to 2-a-days for the next few weeks.
tonight is waiver wire wednesday.....lots of bottom of the barrel free agents available to fill your roster for the night....
I used to loathe Valentine's day when I was single. Always had to be "out of town" or some shtein except for the one I wanted to spend that time with. Nothing but a pain in the ass.
Saturdays were especially painful since I had no time for the message boards.
I also did the day at the spa and massage thing. I refuse to buy flowers because they are ridiculously overpriced.
Good luck with the ring Dio.
Thanks. It'll work out just fine once she realizes she's gotta let go the princess romance pipe dream and just pick something out.

Ha!
My office is located on the ground level and I've got a window seat that looks out at the walkway to the main entrance of the building I work in. All morning I've seen Marines walking by with flowers, candy, balloons and stuffed animals to give to their girlfriends and wives. Every single one of them looked like their soul had been ripped out through their ass. It started raining about 20 minutes ago and I just watched some schmuck walk infront of my window with some flowers and balloons tied to them. A strong gust of wind blew threw and pulled the balloons with the flowers tied to them out of the vase that the Marine was carrying. I watched as he chased them and couldn't help but laugh as his flowers were being dragged across the parking lot through puddles and mud. He eventually caught them after about 20 yards by stomping down on the flowers. When he picked up the flowers they were pretty much destroyed.
Sucker
best story ever
Marines are smart.
thats when a cell phone video is appropriate.
If I had video on my cellphone, it would already be posted on youtube by now. Bummer.
my girl got me this butter table...
