RealTalk - Valentine's Day sucks
Feb 10, 2021, 1:32 PM
|

What is the actual point of it? To celebrate the people you love? Why not do that all the time? I don't want to buy some mushy as>s card that says sh>it that I would never say. I also don't want to buy a card that makes lame jokes about fu>cking, I can make fu>ck jokes better anyway (and sometimes my fu>cking is a joke). You want flowers? Let's drop the equivalent of a nice dinner out on 12 roses that cost the flower shop less than $1 each. The markup on flowers is stupid high, I know because I once worked in a flower shop (by the way, college girls loved having flowers delivered by a grad student with a Golden Retriever, but they don't love it THAT much).
Valentine's Day is stupid as fu>ck and I will shout that from the rooftops.

Nah, same here. I still buy a stupid card (always funny)
Feb 10, 2021, 1:50 PM

and some chocolates, because she loves chocolate. But it's all for show really. Dropped flowers, teddy bears, jewelry, meals, dates, etc. decades ago.
If you're dating, yeah, it's a trap. If you've been married for 20+ years, nope. It's a legit waste.
Last year I threw her for a loop though. Bought the mushiest card I could find. She was rolling laughing at it. Like more than the Valentines Day I gave her a fart card.

at Publix, not the flower shop, and if you do the flower shop, call them directly and do not use a flower service online.

There was a guy in Clemson who drove an old asss truck with buckets of dahlias in the back and our owner would buy them up when they were available.

You’re right.

But I’ve been married to the best woman in the world for almost 19 years and we’ve never once celebrated Valentines. Not once even been tempted to. Not even when dating. It’s a joke. She knows it. I knows it. And we’ve raised our boys to knows it. They’ll either end up single or with really awesome wives. Either way, they will be happy with their lot in life.

And I'm pretty sure you and I have the same number of kids.
I wonder, what are the odds we each ended up with 17 kids....the same way?

go out, get fixed up (her) then come home and get kinky. we hate going out, so only really do it for birthdays and anniversaries and valentine's day. it'll be packed, i'll get pissed to pay to park in DT nashville, but whatever, it's usually fun.
also we'll get each other something that the other person wants, but never the card or the flower stuff. she broke her apple watch and I forgot about it during christmas, so I got her a Garmin. I am getting some new golf shoes.
it's definitely a racket put together by the card and candy companies but can be a good excuse to do something you don't normally do, which is typically our approach
