I like romance. Just general affection for someone and given back to me. I just want someone to adore me and think I'm the cat's meow.
Im one of the lucky ones indeed!
Twenty six years with one woman who reads me like a book!

Yes - what a coincidence - Andy wore his kilt back then and had a strong Scottish accent - it was quite romantic
A dad is proud of his 8-year-old daughter's extra special touch on Valentine's Day cards.
Mashable reported that Redditor mack3r posted a photo of his daughter's Valentine's Day cards. "My daughter is blind and her grade 2 class is exchanging Valentines tomorrow," he said. "She brailled 'love' on each one and then used a heart-shaped hole punch. The letters in print are so her classmates know what it says."
Braille is a writing system for those who are visually impaired or b...lind. While it is not a language, any language can be written in braille.
The dad said that his daughter used a Perkins Brailler, which is similar to a typewriter, to braille the letters on heart-shaped cards she made with a heart-shaped hole punch. She also typed personal notes to each classmate in braille. Her parents did the writing and stamping in print underneath.
Dad, for his part, is very proud of his girl and humbled by the positive response.
"You're a pretty awesome parent," one Redditor said.
Another commented, "As someone who is blind, you're doing it right. I wish I had a daddy like you."

That demonstrates the meaning of LOVE. Awesome.
Indeed it does . . .
I don't care about the schmaltzy, guilt-present, Hallmark aspect of the holiday, but I do like Valentines because I think of it as a hopeful holiday. Put all the romantic entanglements aside, and look at the flowers and sweetness and smiles--it's a day to make you hopeful for spring (or fall, in the southern hemisphere) right at the crappiest part of winter, when you're down to the bone SICK of the weather (and that works for Northern or southern hemisphere--a good friend lives in Perth, currently the hottest place on earth. She can't WAIT for fall there), KWIM? IDK, it makes me happy, and I don't need/want any grand gesture. BH usually gets the kids each a little heart-shaped box of chocolate, and sometimes I get one too. No guilt jewelry--lol. He's a great guy most of the other days of the year--I won't love him more because he overspends on this one day of the year.

I like February 15th better than the 14th - this is when I swoop in and grab all the half price chockies! 
SwiftDogs don't acknowledge Valentine's Day as we have black, cold, bitter doggie hearts........

I like it. I remember the days when everyone was your valentine at school, not just the girls. Boys got Transformers cards, girls got Barbie ones.
Our first Valentine's Day, my husband went all-out and got me a display from Edible Arrangements. It came in a red coffee cup, which is why I liked it so much. (I still have the cup, but the fruit is long gone.)
Now, we just exchange cards. We spoil each other all year with all the ooey-gooey stuff couples are supposed to do on V-Day, and we consider our anniversary to be the day to get a sitter and go on a real date. So yeah, I still make faces when February 14 comes around, because I still think it's a pointless waste of perfectly healthy roses.

Mine is up North - I just called him about getting a few doors renovated and he started complaining about the price etc. I hung up on him, so no romantic V-Day for me!Our first Valentine's Day, my husband went all-out and got me a display from Edible Arrangements.

Nice! I have not bought myself anything yet - I may go out and splurge on some of those fizzy bath bombs I love so much, on the weekend

Well boo! Remind him that doors last for years. It's a one-time thing. And you'll be saving money by not having to super heat or cool the house! So new doors are totally worth the upfront cost. Logic, it gets the men every time. (At least, it does mine...)
