. A box of chocolates, clumsily rearranged in an attempt to hide the fact you ate all the caramel ones. 2. Any food item with the words "diet", "light", or "high fiber" on the label. 3. Any video starring Sylvester Stallone or Jim Carrey. 4. Flowers from a hospital's gift shop--or worse, a mortuary's. 5. Any household appliance, power tool or other item from the harder side of Sears. 6. A gift certificate. 7. Cash. 8. Anything you could have bought at the gas station mini-mart on the way over, even if you didn't. 9. An apologetic look and the words "That was today?"

I have one better. About four years ago, hubby FORGOT it was V-Day and I invited him for lunch. I bought him a tractor and had it delivered to the house as soon as he left to come have lunch with me.
He got a speeding ticket on the way to lunch and brought it to me - $173.00.
When he got home, he saw the tractor - with balloons tied to it - in the driveway and he called me. I said, "Happy Valentine's Day, honey."
He said, "Oh sh*t."
No joke.

We don't celebrate V-Day. In our opinion, it's just a bunch of hype to get people to spend money they don't have.
Birthdays, Christmas and Easter are what we celebrate.

We don't either. Just so happened we were both wanting one, and that was the perfect opportunity.

I told my Wife yesterday evening that I needed to get her something for Valentine's Day and she rolled her eyes and said, Pleeeeese. "Meaning; come on, how stupid."
I guess it's a card and some mushy writing this year. Whew.

Cliff you need to understand what she actually meant. A card with mushy writing will not suffice - get a grip man, buy the woman something decent.

Then why didn't she say that?
Good grief. I might have gotten myself killed or even worse!
Now I'm down to the eleventh hour!
I gotta hurry!
Thanks!
I need some ideas, quick ideas.
She does need some house shoes or maybe a lint roller.
