I always take the day off from work.
Don't really plan anything and I find being out tht day is sickening to see all those women with flowers and teddies etc.:lol: and so many people wearing red.
Funny thing is I don't see the guys walking around with gifts they got.
At one of the offices I go to its like a competition on who's husband sent wht to the office for them. Half the time I feel they send it to themselves and say the hubby sent it. :roll:

I agree with Sola and Scorps here.
Saps so wait you alone taking all them kids?
Valentines Day I hate it. In all my 34 years I only ever got 4 presents and 2 sets of flowers.
I think it is commercial as hell and just another way for businesses to make money on things we don't really need. Here in the UK prices for drinks and cards and roses/flowers and food in restaurants are extremely exorbitant all for one day and not even a bleeding holiday either. When will people learn? :roll:
I would like to not walk down the street and feel obligated to feel bad about not getting a gift or a card from my exes or my bf and I don't want to spoil our relationship by allowing this crap day to affect me or him negatively cause he unromantic as hell eh!!
So we go see what vibes ah go orn. Mind u if I do get stuff ah go realllll show off cause dat is how we is ent?! :?

And this was also interesting...
The History of
Valentine’s Day
Every February 14 we celebrate Valentines Day by giving flowers, candy and cards to lovers or those we hope to love.
Even though Valentine's Day falls on February 14, the feast day of several Christian martyrs named Valentine in the third century A.D., its customs probably began eight hundred years prior to the establishment of Valentine's Day with a couple of Roman pagan celebrations.
The custom of sending lover's greetings on February 14 may have no connection with either saint, but dates from the later Middle Ages, when it was believed that this day marked the beginning of the mating season for birds. So the priest's martyrdom may have just provided a name for the annual celebration of avian sex.
The Feast of Lupercalia:
In ancient Rome, February 14th was a day honoring Juno, the principal goddess of the pantheon and the wife of Jupiter, worshiped as the goddess of women, marriage, childbirth and the moon, and as the protector of the state.
The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia. This celebration originated as a tradition in the third century B.C. During this time hordes of wolves roamed outside of Rome where shepherds kept their flocks. The God Lupercus, Roman God of flocks and fertility, was said to watch over the shepherds and their flocks and keep them from the wolves. The feast was in honor of Lupercus so that no harm would come to the shepherds and their flocks.

Love Lottery
The celebration featured a lottery in which the names of girls were written on slips of paper and placed into a vase. Young men would draw a girl's name from the jar, making these two partners for the duration of the festival. The girl assigned to each man also would be his sexual companion during the remaining year. Often, they would fall in love and would later marry.
St. Valentine’s Day
In the year AD 312 something happened that would change Roman religion forever.
Constantine the Great, Emperor of Rome (306–337 A.D.), had a sign from the god of the Christians in a dream the night before an important battle. Emperor Constantine won the battle and thereafter showed his gratitude to the Christian god by turning his entire empire over to this new religion.
As Christianity became prevalent attempts were made to replace old heathen practices, especially the erotic festivities at the Feast of Lupercalia.
In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius changed the name of the Lupercalia festival to St. Valentine's Day, and ordered a slight change in the lottery. Instead of the names of young women, the box would contain the names of saints. Both men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the game was to emulate the ways of the saint they drew during the rest of the year.
Not too surprisingly, this prudish version of Lupercalia proved unpopular, and by the fourteenth century they reverted back to the use of girls' names.
In the sixteenth century the Church once again tried to have saintly valentines but it was as unsuccessful as the first attempt.
Although the church had banned the lottery for women, the mid-February holiday in commemoration of St. Valentine was stilled used by Roman men to seek the affection of women. It became a tradition for the men to give the ones they admired handwritten messages of affection, containing Valentine's name.
But the early Christians were anything but quitters, so it was on to Plan B: modulate the overtly sexual nature of Lupercalia by turning this "feast of the flesh" into a "ritual for romance!"
Since St. Valentine (Valentinus) had been martyred on February 14, 269 A.D. the Church could also preempt the annual February 15 celebration of Lupercalia. The only problem was that Valentinus was a chaste man, unschooled in the art of love.
To make the chaste Saint more appealing to lovers, the Church may have "embellished" his life story a little bit. Since it happened so long ago, records no longer exist. But if it didn't happen this way, it certainly makes for a better story...
Saint Valentine
While it can't be proven historically, there were seven men named Valentine who were honored with feasts on February 14th. Of these men, two stories link incidents that could have given our present day meaning to St. Valentine's Day.
One of the men named Valentine was a priest during the reign of Emperor Claudius II (268 to 270), full name, Marcus Aurelius Claudius Gothicus, A.D. 214–270 who defeated the Goths in 269.
Emperor Claudius was heavily recruiting men to serve as soldiers for his wars without much success. The men preferred not to leave their wives, families and sweethearts to fight in foreign lands. The Emperor wanted the men to be heartless and fearless soldiers, free of wives and girlfriends. Claudius decreed that no marriages should be celebrated and that all engagements be broken off immediately.
Father Valentine thought this to be unfair, and secretly performed marriages in and around of Rome. Found out not too long later, Valentine was imprisoned, where he either:
1. Languished and died or
2. Was beaten with clubs and then beheaded when all attempts to make the priest renounce his faith had proved fruitless.
Devoted friends buried him in the church of St. Praxedes on the fourteenth of February, 269 or 270 AD.
Father Valentine was a kind and wise person who had a lot of friends. They begged the Emperor to free him and sent letters and flowers to jailed Valentine. Many think that these were the first “Valentine” letters and flowers sent.
The second Valentine was an early Christian in the time when Rome was unfriendly to this upstart religion or supposedly Bishop of Turni, a region in central Italy. For helping some Christian martyrs he was seized, dragged before the prefect of Rome and cast into jail.
There he was said to have fallen in love with, and cured the jailor’s daughter, Julia, of blindness. When news of this miracle spread, Rome's leaders gave orders that Valentine should be beheaded. The morning of the execution, he is said to have sent Julia a farewell message signed, "From your Valentine." words still used on cards today.
Sometimes these versions are all woven into one, as did all of the seven Valentines eventually evolved into one!
That gets us back to 496 when Pope Gelasius declared the day of the Feast of Lupercalia in honor of St. Valentine.
Despite the efforts of the Church, Valentine's Day continued to echo Lupercalia in at least one respect - men and women would draw lots to select a "valentine." The couples would exchange gifts.
The custom of lottery drawings to select Valentines persisted well into the eighteenth century. Gradually, however, a shift took place. No longer did both parties exchange gifts; instead, gift giving became solely the responsibility of the man!
This new twist helped to finally bring an end to the random drawing of names, since many men were unhappy about giving gifts (sometimes very costly) to women who were not of their choosing. And now that individuals were free to select their own Valentine, the celebration took on a new and much more serious meaning for couples!
The Birds!
February 14th was the day that Europeans, during the Middle Ages, believed the birds began to choose their lifelong mates.
"For this was Seynt Valentine's Day when
every foul cometh ther to choose his mate."
-- Chaucer, in his "Parlement of Foules"
Other Valentine Customs
A young girl was supposed to marry, eventually, the first eligible male she met on this day. If a girl was curious and brave enough she could conjure up the appearance of her future spouse by going to the graveyard on St. Valentine's Eve at midnight. She would then sing a prescribed chant and run around the church twelve times.
In England, little children went about singing of St. Valentine and collecting small gifts. It was also customary to place valentines on their friends' doorsteps.
-- Andy Gilchrist

I hate the times when I wasn’t in a relationship when people try to make you feel pathetically undesirable because you didn’t get any flowers. The whole “Aw honey where’s your flowers? The man didn’t get yuh any?” Then they proceed to look at yuh like yuh Grandmother just got run over on the Priority! Just all sad but grateful they not you! What’s up with that? Then of course they decide to launch into a story about how Miss Mabel from up the road ugly daughter Mary getting married. Like gee how could she get a man and you can’t? Then the times I was in a relationship them bfs was as romantic as a brick upside the head. Can’t win either way oui. Mmmmm at least my sweetie now has a romantic streak a mile wide. So it makes up for everything.

True. But u said, u ALWAYS wear black. Anyway, whoever the idiot-boy is, he's probably going to have a decent valentines day. So it doesnt make sense getting yourself all worked up over whatever crap he did. The best revenge is to get over him fast and get on with enjoying your life. So stop with the black and start wearing happy colours. Exude good, happy vibes and you'll attract someone else in no time. If u think about it, I'm sure u can see that u have a lot to offer and the loser isnt worth u wasting even one min of your life in anger or bitterness bec of him.
That said, I'll proceed to mind my business.

A Red Red Rose
by Robert Burns
O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.
:P
Eugene Field
A Valentine to My Wife
Accept, dear girl, this little token,
And if between the lines you seek,
You'll find the love I've often spoken—
The love my dying lips shall speak.
Our little ones are making merry
O'er am'rous ditties rhymed in jest,
But in these words (though awkward—very)
The genuine article's expressed.
You are as fair and sweet and tender,
Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart mine,
As when, a callow youth and slender,
I asked to be your Valentine.
What though these years of ours be fleeting?
What though the years of youth be flown?
I'll mock old Tempus with repeating,
"I love my love and her alone!"
And when I fall before his reaping,
And when my stuttering speech is dumb,
Think not my love is dead or sleeping,
But that it waits for you to come.
So take, dear love, this little token,
And if there speaks in any line
The sentiment I'd fain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your Valentine?

Holiday or Pointlessly named day it doh matter to me. Is all de same crapiola. STores making money off of grown folks who should not need a "Day" to celebrate their love for one another. Major B.S. if you ask me.
Down with Valentines Day (the Feast of Lupercalia) which by the way was a celebration of killing christians in the greek islands and killing animals in the street and bathing in their blood and nail the heads to houses and posts. Wonderful the foundation of such a "cute and needy" Day innit?
On Second thought....Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh for Valentine's Day!

Why is buying something synonymous with 'romance'? I think that kind of mentality makes you a whore.
Most whores are women, not men. So I guess the lady in question is correct (though there are exceptions, of course).

:shock: What?! :lol:
BW, how would u romance a lady without buying anything? No wine, no flowers, no little trinket whatsoever, not even a dinner mint wid de lyrics on the wrapper? Even if u want to cook dinner for her u might have to buy something special to cook.
Buying something is synonymous with lots of things - birthdays, Christmas, congrats on passing exams...
Something is usually bought in order to make the day or occasion special - sweet post-it notes only go so far and even then, one day u will have to replenish your supply.
So how prostitution reach in this? Esp when 90% of the time what makes the gift special is that u took the time to find out what would please her, u took the time to find it and u made the sacrifice to buy it.
Geez BW, u having some valentine blues?
Well, in those examples, what's really being commended is the gesture, not the material goods. Cooking dinner shows some thought, as does going for a walk, or singing a song.
What I'm talking about is the gold diggers; the women who are more interested in the gifts, than the person giving the gifts.
But yea, I wasn't too serious about that comment... :|

I just read some of the stuff u all wrote above and I actualy laughed! Women actually do that! Send flowers to themselves, geez. Is that jus sad or pitiful? Ppl need to realize that valentines day is not ONLY for couples - show love to everyone u love. Well that's just mt two cents.

Aurea its a big show of who gets wht delivered in tht office.
Like say one woman would get Dozen roses sent to her and then all the other women wud think to themselves tht their husbands shudda send them thing to.
So they juSt send it to themselves or nag husband to come in to bring it for them in office. Its all a show I think. :lol:

I find that woman selfish too. She is the same woman who tell meh she doh cook fer she man, he does do de cooking all de time. De man put she in ah nice big house, she always wearing fancy dis and dat and on top of it he cyah even get ah valentines card......I think she should show him a bit more love and appreciation
