Valentine's Day

[ChangMaiSausage]

Anyone else forget to say Happy Velentine's Day to the missus?

I'm still getting the cold shoulder quote "today special day but you not think, maybe not for you blah blah?" that was yesterday and she's still not spoke to me this morning!

I think I'm in the dog house any ideas?

I put my stereo and TV in the dog house. I get on better with the dog anyway.

I need to ask a question for the past three years my American neighbour has given my wife and I a Valentine card and flower. He also gives these to all his friends whether male or female. He is not gay at all. In the UK you would only give a valentine card to a spouse or lover and not to your next door neighbour. A serious question, is this normal behaviour in the USA?

It will be expensive.... And will probably involve lots of shopping and food.

Mrs kmart got the flowers and Italian Bistro treatment yesterday. I now have Brownie Points stacked up to the ceiling. Probably....

Its probably normal behaviour for "swingers".

DOes she really have english that is this bad?

I think to make her look a little better, perhaps you can paraphrase into more readable engrish; baby talk and pidgeon english repeated by adults both look,er, well not that good and hard to understand.

You is unda s-tan hansum man?

Frankly, if you forgot to do even so little as saying Happy Valentines Day, you deserve the cold shoulder. It doesnt take that much effort, does it and you'd have to be in a coma to have not seen it was coming up.

It might not mean much to you, but is it so hard to make an effort when you know it means something to someone else?

Or am I wrong?

probably, you are wrong.

However, to make sure I do not forget, I wish everyone I know a happy birth-valentine-easter-Christmas-holi-new year-countdown-boxing-day every day.

FOr some reason, I seem to get laid a lot more these days, I put it down to this basic consideration :-) Strangely, most of my conquests, are disgruntled wives of non Thais living here?!

[helicoptor]

I knew it was Valentines day, my fiancee knew it was Valentines day, she also knew that I knew it was Valentines day or VD as I like to call it

I never said 'happy valentine day, dear' to her...

I never gave her flowers....

I never gave her a card....

But she certainly found out that I 'knew' once we had retired for the evening

Dead right bendix and well said. I sent out for a few roses, gave her a kiss, happy all day, laid within an inch of my life that night. I don't think my anti American, anti commercialism principals are worth that much.

Just print this & all wil be forgiven.....

Someone please tell me that this "so called holiday" perpetrated by florists, et al, has not spread around the world. I was hoping that 14 February was going to be just another day.

Jasus, are you serious.

If you do actually like someone, it can be quite cool and, you don't have to spend that much.

I was proper in the dog house after a 3 day bender, Valentines was the perfect day to make up properly.

You don't need to pay the hype mongers to enjoy it....!

A trip to the gold shop, might do the trick.

The Thais will gladly celebrate any holiday they can – Valentine's Day is no exception. As a rule, if it is a Western holiday, I don't get the woman a present unless she can explain the meaning of the day. Note, this does not work unless you find a new GF before the holiday roles around again.

Christmas is my favorite example:

GF: Honey, what will you get me for Christmas?

Me: I already bought you something; I spent a lot of money too.

GF: Ohh, really, what is it?

Me: I can't tell you, it will ruin the surprise. By the way, why do we celebrate Christmas?

GF: It is Santa Claus' birthday!

-- then it is simple to explain how she does not respect your beliefs or understand your culture and basically get revenge for all the times you heard it from her, and then say you are giving her gift to the poor.

This works with any Western holiday.
