Ok how much has this Hallmark holiday cost you over the years?
 

I'm not sure but I know all added up there is a brand new truck parked in my driveway paid off :banghead:

$3.25 every year.

You are my hero! so you just look for a new girl starting 2/15 every year?

Since I was a kid maybe $2,400. :shrug: In my current relationship it's also when we met so I figure I'm getting off easy.

My wife of 3 years told me last week that i didnt need to get her anything today as she didnt get me anything :hmmm: .



CASHMAN.

IT'S A TRAP!!!

Since I apparently have nothing to offer the opposite sex, 0 dollars. Archie has been in a serious rut since I left college. :cuss:

Wait a second, don't you watch American Idol? :hmmm:

BIG DADDY

Very confused now.

Some wives dont require roses or jewelry or extravagant gifts.

My wife is happy to receive a card every year, but I still go out and buy her things like some lingerie or dvd's. One year I was able to find a jewelry box that her mom had sold at a garage sale long ago. She had told me about how she was at the Chicago Dance school for ballet and her mom sold her favorite jewelry box. I so happened to remember the story and had been extremely lucky to find one just like it at a flea market. I earned so many bonus points for that, that I'll never go into the so-called enzoner doghouse.

No she dosent get into all that stuff on one day, as i give her love every day :p . We just bought a newcar on monday so maybe thats the gift.




CASHMAN.

Don't fall for it dude. You know better.:shake:

Yes, yes it is. Tread carefully... The key word in her phrase is "need". She wants you to want to want...errr...you know what I mean.

Nice.

I don't understand how women complain about guys being shallow, but any guy who didn't pull out the stops on V-day would be in the doghouse for a LONG time. Ridiculous.

it's a freakin scam ....... i rarely do the card thing at all.

I just got RAPED by 1-800-FLOWERS. $90 to get a dozen roses delivered this afternoon.

Goddamn women.

:cuss:

I will get her a card, and i am far from shallow anything my family needs they get. I get her roses all the time durning the year for no reason, my wife is the greatest.



CASHMAN.

I take it she does not read the Planet.

Hope not. :D

No, my wife would not like that. I am just a jerk. :)

They dont have those Tents with A dozen Roses for $9.99???

we got one around here

But the wife got Roses for her B-Day and since ive been out of work for the past month shes lucky she gets the Hot Beef injection

If she does there goes another 90 bucks out the window!

Historically, the Hallmark-manTax holiday hasn't dinged me for very much.

This year, it was about $40 for some pollen sticks for brideowanian and a pink one for kidowanian.

I had them sent to her work for Maximum Effect. Making other women jealous seems to loosen panty elastic.

3-4 days ago it was considerably less. Fuggin flower cabals.

Probably (although not that cheap around here). But it's a pain in the ass to carry them on the train (I take public trans into the city) and the weather sucks today. Also, the cheap flowers tend to start dying almost immediately. Plus I'd miss the AWWWWWWWW factor of the wife getting flowers delivered at work and all her co-workers thinking I'm so fucking wonderful and all. :)

But basically, this is the easiest way to deal with it, and I'm lazy.

Hey, we don't create holidays! :cuss:


(I'm only saying that because of the pain chip. Oww....)

Cost me nothing, most of my life. :p
Except for a card and a treat for my kid....maybe $30 total by this point in time.

Sounds to me like you're lucky if you get to soak it in cider.

So, the boss wasn't cool with you hacking the interweb afterall......

Yeah, I figure I'm getting the last-minute hosing treatment. :grr:

Same here... I've been with Cathy for 3 years now and though I got her something on the first year, she told me that she doesnt care about V-Day and we should just ignore it.

I love her. :D :D :D

Actually I am trying to return to that job.. I resigned from that job to take what i thought would be a good opportunity to switch industry. but it turned out that company was full of donkey manure...

Since i Left on excellent terms with the previous employer (the one i haxored the firewall) I am in the process of getting that job back but its a long process...

Holy cow...may as well have called 1-800-PWNED

Sex this Valentine's Day is costing me about $95...

flowers - $35
card - $3
champagne - $10 (cheap stuff works just fine...)
lingerie - $45

Whatever the going price is for a good beer and a steak.
I don’t want flowers: I’m allergic
I don’t want candy: I don’t eat it
I guess this is why I don’t mind February 14, or March 14 for that matter.

1-800-DIPSHIT works too. :banghead:

$0

i bet he's crushed

I'll wager if I had started my line of personalized greeting cards for those times that Hallmark doesn't.....my "Ex girlfriend/wife line" would be filling my pocket today.

"Roses are red, violets are blue.
I slept with your friend, now you've got herpes too"

Exactly $228.74.

:wayne: Well done. I think the mom jokes are just a ploy. :)

Well since Valentines fell in the middle of the week and the roads are kinda crappy, I have managed to put it all off until this weekend. Discounted flowers anyone.

To answer the thread starter, not much. My wife knows she's lucky if I even acknowledge this sham of a holiday.

I'm pretty sure that Hallmark isn't the only one making big profits today.

i took my wife to work this morning and will pick her up this evening. her car's stuck in a snow drift.

also flowers, but they're free. my office is next to a cemetery.
sec

I hear frozen floral arrangements are all the craze this year.....

it's the thought that counts.
sec

too much;
time, money, thoughts and most years not the right, color, size, or thought.

BTW that one poster, about not getting anything, we tried that one this year, When she handed me a card I said, I thought we weren't doing anything this year, (trip to mexico next week is supposed to be for valentines)

Yup, like a turd in a punchbowl.

Plus she decided we would celebrate it Sat. (I was in Dallas Friday and Sat and she is gone yesterday through this friday) so I had no time to do anything anyway. Fickle woman.

LMAO

Valentine's Day is way overrated and it's a waste of time.
