I agree, screw it!! !!

I am trying to think of nice things to do for it. It has been ok so far, though I have to come up with more ideas. The candle lit bubble bath is scheduled for 4pm. Im thinking of going out for chocolate, but that will ruin my diet.

I think Valentine's Day can be whatever you want it to be. I don't agree with the notion that hallmark is just trying to make money and that if you want to get someone you care about something then you can do it any day, because the people in my Life that I have known with that opinion, never actually DO do that. Of course, not saying that you CAN'T, but just mean that people with that attitude that I have known tend to be the types to never get their loved ones anything on these so-called "any days of the year" anyway! (I am sure there are some out there that I haven't met, in case I have offended anyone).

I think it can be an opportunity to have a fun day with the one you love.

Or, if you are single, it can be a day to rejoice in how much you love who YOU are and how much you are able to enjoy your own company, and/or the company of any friends :)

To a great extent, it is up to US how we CHOOSE to view our lives, as hard as that may be, it is still a possiblity :)

Valentines Day SUCKS and to lessen the pain, I will be attending a job fair tommorow.

Valentines Day is also the birthday of the state of Oregon.

Women become desperate around the holiday I have found. I will get a lot more cold approaches and smiles around then. So in a way, even though I am single, it does make me feel a little surge that can replace some self-doubt. We need more mass manipulations of the female sect I say; they have it far too easy in this whole biological urge issue.

While I have already voiced my dislike of Valentine's Day, I do enjoy playing devil's advocate. Valentine's Day is a mini economic stimulus that temporarily increases consumption. Perhaps we need more annoying holidays not less. Also, Valentine's Day is probably a good day to get depressed girl's numbers with the added bonus that if you do date them you wont have to buy them anything shaped like a heart for a year. :P

While a website of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia and other sources give different lists of Saint Valentines, the Catholic Church's official list of recognized saints, the Roman Martyrology lists seven: a martyr (Roman priest or Terni bishop?) buried on the Via Flaminia (February 14); a priest from Viterbo (November 3); a bishop from Raetia who died in about 450 (January 7); a fifth-century priest and hermit (July 4); a Spanish hermit who died in about 715 (October 25)HI Rachel Garde ; Valentine Berrio Ochoa, martyred in 1861 (November 24); and Valentine Jaunzarás Gómez, martyred in 1936 (September 18).[12] he was a priest before


I am going to celebrate the priest/hermit on February 14th instead of July 4th since there is already celebration that occurs July 4th in the USA, one with pretty colored sparks that I can watch from the roof rather than the sparks of romance inspired by receiving dead flowers and chocolate.

Maybe I will plant a few flowers.

Much love to wikipedia, since I'm feeling romantic... :oops:

Agree
Valentines's Day is a pointless holiday. I don't bother with it and I see no point to it.

It seems a good day for all my male friends to avoid me. Maybe they're all out tonight with dates they've never told me about :?

Great idea!
However, I cannot be bothered summoning up the social skills to snare a willing male.

Use a bear trap, a snare's only good for wee critters.

If not for this post, I would have completely forgotten that I was expected to give chocolate to my coworker today. So, thank you for that. ;) I agree, though, I'm rather anti-Valentine's Day myself.

I can't stand Valentines Day either. I'm single now, but I have had boyfriends in the past. Just never liked it. I can't stand the Kay Jewelers commercials especially. :roll: :roll: "Every kiss beings with Kay." :roll: :roll:
