Texas Phil Peeno #50923 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Ran to Wally World at 9p to pick up leftover cards, roses and chocolate. I am so screwed.
Grizzly Dave Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I got no card, no candy, and no flowers for tomorrow. Don't expect any in return either.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I'm fat. Got a sappy card and well, Momma will be happy.
GunClick Rick Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Well i actually went to a baby store and got my new granddaughter a nice little spring outfit with the help from the store lady there.Then went and got her a nice dusty pink rose,a purple rose for the duaghter and a few red roses for the wife.It has always been a tradition sort of.When my dughter was about two years old we were on a sunday drive and i stopped by a little flower stand by the road and got my wife a rose just because.I got back in the car to take off and from the back seat i hear a WAAAAAAAAAA,aaaaaa,aaaa. i went, well by golly! I got back out and got my duaghter one too and she was happy as a clam... Shame on me!Two girls in the car and only one gets a flower,i learned to never do that again!! Got to keep my gals happy,so on with tradition,been gettin my duaghter flowers ever since and now the granddaughter.Been payin rent for these folks a long time http://www.peterperkensflowers.com/aboutus.asp?topnav=TopNav Grandma says i done good
DocWard Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Have a card purchased, dinner out planned, so hopefully it will be good. Mrs. Doc doesn't usually expect a whole bunch since it is my birthday.

Deja Vous Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Okay, I will admit to my short commings.. I remember things well if they end up on dates that are easy to remember. For example a anniversay on Valentines day, or on say opening of Elk season in would have worked well for me a few years back. i am a chick, so sure I love romance. But I am a person first, and I forget stuff often.. lol.. But I will tell you Feb. is not my month, twice now I have tired it, first husband valentine kinda guy, I lost him, last one close to the date.. well, ya all know the story.. so Feb. is not my month period. Maybe no month is my month?? lol. So valentine days will be spent working, and then a meeting in the evening.. I don't do valentines day.. it appears to be bad luck for me.. lol. But.. with that said.. I will wish everyone else a happy Valentines day, and may your love last forever.. pretty sure it will anyhow.. lol.. But wanted to add my wished too... Hugs.. Deja.

Red Headed Stranger SASS# 14282 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 It's Valentines day??????? What happened to January???
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Nothing special. February is the month that the Germinator got sick so this year I decided to have flowers in the house during the period between her birthday and the anniversary of her passing. I'll get some fresh ones today.
Jim Mayo, SASS # 28961 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I'm still working on it. I'm suppose to grill venison steaks this evening, but have to go find a water leak for a friends rental this afternoon and dig the hole so the plumber can fix it. It's going to be touch and go to see if I get back in time to grill before a late supper. But a guys got to work when he can these days.
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Since everyday is Valentine's Day - there's bound to be an error here and there GG ~
Smoken D Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I'm one of those types. Dates and numbers type of guy. Took care of the card and gift few weeks ago knowing how it creeps up on ya. The little lady ain't really into thay type of stuff like I am. One way ticket, but that's OK. Love ta give her things
Uno Mas SASS #80082 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 . Pretty much by continuing to breathe...
Easy Emily SASS #73673 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 So I picked up the stuff today (oh crap I hope Sinful doesn't read this!) Funny thing I was in the store and the song being played was If you can't be with the one you love then Love the one your with. I thought it was pretty ironic on Valentines Day Picking out a card and such.
Grizzly Dave Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 . Pretty much by continuing to breathe... I'm right there with ya brother most days.
Flint McCloud 3103L Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Got Ms. Maggie a card, chocolates, a full quill ostrich gun cover, and took care of dinner... I expect I'm on the good list this year... Vaya con Dios
Henry T Harrison Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Today is our 30th anniversary; I picked Valentines Day to get married so that I could never forget what day our anniversary was. I didn’t screw this one up. We spent the day shopping, with a great lunch at Ditka’s. The first Valentines day while we were dating I made the mistake of buying her a dozen very expensive red roses. She is allergic to flowers! I learned that lesson quick. I still have 69 years left on my 99 year lease on her.
Guest Tennessee Stud, SASS# 43634 Life Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Not this year... but in a prior V-Day just the same.... I filled out one of them lil' cards to go on a box of chocolates.... was tryin' to be cleaver... and misspelled the word "sweets"... "Some sweats for the sweatiest person I know." That bast@rd pencil... Didn't go over too well. ts
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 My pretty wife and I have agreed that if we have to wait for one day a year to be romantic, it's not much of a marriage. We chuckled this morning, she gave me a silly card that she made while her kids in school (she's and aide) were making cards last week, and we had lunch together.

Matthew Duncan Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I got no card, no candy, and no flowers for tomorrow. Don't expect any in return either. "Tmorrow" We still have a day before Valintine's day. Why the panic?
Apache Hawk 60642 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Lady Hawk and me drove to our fave coffee shop and got a cup... One fer each of us !!!! Dats true love ! :wub:
Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I'll tell you how I screwed it up...BIG TIME!!! I had already taken care of the flowers and card. Then, to make it an extra special evening, I decided to grill a couple nice steaks. I made some rolls, my special red potatoes, stir fry vegetables, etc. The coals were perfect, steaks seasoned to perfection. Everything was great until I went to turn the steaks and...CRASH!!! My old 30-year old barbecue had rusted through over the years and the steaks, coals, and grill went sprawling all over the patio. The miracle of this whole debacle is that my wife still loves me.
Red Steele Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Bluebelle asked me tonight if I remembered what I bought her for Valentines Day 22 years ago. I thought for a long while and vaguely remembered buying some ear rings for her sometime in the past so I said "Ear rings???" The look on her face was priceless when she looked at me like I was daft and said,"Seriously?? You don't remember???" "Oh yeah!!!!! A ring!" Now I remember! Sure glad she said yes when I PROPOSED 22 years ago. Being at work tonight has made that awkward situation slightly better. I bettter pull out all the stops for her birthday on Friday. She said she will be 29 and that is the story I am believing!! Red (Doghouse sleeping) Steele

Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I hope you rinsed it off and plopped it in a pan with melted butter. Regards, Allie "who couldn't bare to waste a steak" Mo Yup...the dinner turned out pretty good afterall. And to make it even better, I get to go shopping for another barbecue grill!! I've always been old-fashioned and gone with a charcoal grill, but after the untimely demise of my trusty Weber, I might upgrade to a propane barbecue grill. I'm still undecided. Of course, my sons, who all live out-of-state, are all willing to give input. I'm afraid if I follow their advice, I'll be spending big bucks on a new grill.
Pack Saddle Slim, SASS #73122 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 ~Memories,pressed between the pages of my mind~If she leaves ya let me know,i love red potatoes.. Thanks, Rick Pard. So far, though, she seems to be willing to put up with me for at least another 38 years. Bless her.
Sergeant Smokepole #29248L Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I woke up and said "Good morning dear."
MAYOBARD SASS #13025L Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I had two dozen Red roses sent with a teddy bear, a nice card written by myself, some lavender bath beads, lavender body wash, lavender shampoo, and a box of chocolates. All these things my wife loved. I remember holidays because I want to make sure she knows how much I think of her, value her, and appreciate her. We're newlyweds you see. We've only been married 19 years.

Blue Steel Duke Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I screwed up by trusting FTD to be a company of their word, especially since I paid $20 extra for "Guaranteed" same day delivery. Then after they failed to deliver or notify me of their failure, I found it would be easier to get a hold of the Pope by phone! BSD
