You are very fortunate.

I meant that is the way many men and women perceive it to be. In general, women like the holiday... men don't. Yes, women give gifts to their men, but from my observation, many men would just as soon see the whole thing go away.

As you know, I'm sure, if you give first (especially if you give what he wants) you can get almost anything you want.
Again, if this works well for you, you are very, very fortunate. So terribly many women are not so lucky.

And I strongly recommend giving first more often than just once a year.
Excellent words for all of us, both men and women, to live by. |

Maybe you are right. NEXT YEAR, I will use a heart-shaped target. Or maybe a picture of Cupid. |

Oh, I wasn't shootin' at ya, Fitz, if that's what you meant. Nor was I accusing any of you men of being insensitive. I was accusing y'all of being unromantic! There is a big difference! Face it....

It's just up to the men to give them... if they know what's good for 'em! 
A dog, Obi? I think that is a very sweet gift, if that is what she wanted.
MG... not sure what you mean by that remark. Care to explain? |

Ditto Fitz, sounds like a great day. Unfortunately our range is closed. The berms are frozen solid, and the club's concerned about ricochets going to unwelcome & unintended locations. ... WW, - everything has it's price. ... ;) |

I gave my wife a dog for Valentine's Day...
BTW, does anyone ever think how mind-boggling it is the the initials for this so-called "holiday" are VD? |

And as an added bonus, after eating all that bambi I was too stuffed to go out for dinner last night, so I stayed home and watched Survivor - Micronesia or whatever it's called. It was a good day!!!  |

And that, ladies, is the way 99% of the men in America really feel about Valentine's Day. The only thing that could change that focus for a few minutes would be something like a slinky, sexy, red Teddy. And I don't mean a bear!

It was! Very lean but still juicy, and no "wild" taste. The may who brought the meat said it is different from the meat in SC, probably because of the way the deer feed in NY. So five of us sat around the oven made from an old 55 gal. drum, under our tin-roofed shelter, eating bambi-burgers, while taking a break from shooting flintlocks. The best Valentines Day in a long time. |

I did. I took my new fusil to the range and shot some this afternoon. Love that gun!!! I even had a burger made from a deer taken in New York State (between Binghamton and Syracuse). A good Valentines day!!! |

I wish I could. 
Those of you who have spouses or boy/girl friends... be extra nice to them tonight. You may not have them tomorrow. |
