Probably crap in wherever it is all the time then, Valentines day is an easy ride for any place that knows what they are doing. Two's are easy, it's the groups of 10, 15 20 that cause more problems service wise.

Hi there LM,

Yes, home is near Halifax,N.S. :D

And yes, we think it's scenic -- the land of the Bluenose and Peggy's Cove not to mention the setting for the 2011 Canada Winter Games. The local hills have been given $$$millions$$$ for upgrades --- snow making gear and groomers etc...

BC is even more scenic! Friends visited Sun Peaks last spring for 13 straight ski days! They were told, as they were made honorary resort guides, that no one has skied so much at one stretch as they did. Now these friends are in Zermatt for a couple of weeks.

Enjoy the birthday party :!:

My OH bought me a card but my son was in a panic last night because his girlfriend was coming round and he didn't have one for her. So I got to look at it and say thank you before we gave it to my son to give to his girlfriend. (This all happened before my OH wrote in it.)

We tell each other every day, but its still nice to do something special on Valentines day. I dont know a woman on earth who does not like to be treated on Valentines day.

We don't tell each other I love you every day but we do, but we have the matter of female/male logic.... a couple of lads at work were telling me that they have agreed with there other half's not to buy each other anything for valentines, I then posed the question of female/male logic that even if we say something we don't necessary mean that, and the reward for a surprise gift of flowers and chocolates would be enormous.
I don't really care if I get anything or not but it really is a great surprise when there is a nicely wrapped present unexpectedly awaiting for you, especially when it was a pair of Bolle goggles 8) 8)

So if you get an unexpected bill or two, it will be okay if she takes the goggles back to the shop, yes?

Only if you feel the need to take what I say so seriously, of course.

However, I do find things like Valentines Day, Fathers Day and other non events are just an excuse for people to get ripped off, should they choose to get their wallets out of course. My neighbour felt obliged to buy his Mrs some flowers, and ended up almost going into hospital with a heart attack when they charged him GBP48.
He only got her some because she would give him s**t if he didnt. Kind of sums it all up for me really.

Re:valentines day

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 18:24:58 GMT

I get where you're coming from.

However, I like that there's a reason to make a day slightly different. For example, I love mother's day because my boys make me cards and write me poems, make me toast in bed, give me kisses and cuddles all day long, empty the dishwasher, etc, etc, in short - it's a day off for me. I don't want presents, there's nothing I need [apart from ski holidays obviously :mrgreen:]
