WHAT ARE YOU GETTING YOUR SWEETIE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY?

I hope Avalon likes the new mop I got her for Valentine’s Day. 🙂

Is Valentine’s Day really about love? These days, February 14th seems to be all about money, and few places come close to the United States when it comes to Valentine’s Day spending. This year, the average American will spend $142.31, significantly higher than $102.50 in 2009. In 2015, Valentine’s Day sales are expected to reach a whopping $19 billion.

Men are going to spend almost twice as much as women this weekend. People will splash out $4.8 billion on jewelry, $4.6 billion on date nights and $2.1 billion on candy. Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples. 21.2 percent of Americans will spend a grand total of $703 million on their pets!

The broken window fallacy for love. Hi Honey! Hallmark wanted me to remind you how much I still care!?

My family will be warm, dry and fed, which the wife appreciates. Wife said to stop buying roses on V-day as it’s just a waste of money. We won’t be going out either – V-day is the WORST day of the year to go out to a restaurant.

I bought her 1000 rounds of .223 ammo for her AR 15. It’s what she wanted. I have a damn good woman and I treat her like a queen.

From a local bakery, had to order it four days ago — Mara’s Chocolate Explosion; a three layer cake –chocolate mousse, cheesecake, chocolate cake — covered with ganache, caramel, raspberries and pecans, ringed with Bailey’s infused whipped cream. $40.

We are going to dinner here:

Owned by an American named Vince, fits in well with the late 1960s “classy” lounge lizard/Brat Pack theme. Heard the food is great. The chef has worked at two of Wellington’s top rates restaurants.

Took the little woman out for dinner at an upscale restaurant last night. Beat the crowd. Will fix dinner for her on Valentine’s Day. Another square filled.

I like Admin’s idea of getting Avalon a mop. My version would be to buy some new pads for the nifty electric steam mop my wife uses to wash the tile floors. And run like hell when she starts to open the gift-wrapped package.

Because of its historical connection to Christianity.

Taking my babe to a movie. She read “50 Shades” but doesn’t want to see the movie all that much; we’ll probably opt for “The Kingsmen”, then dinner at a Chinese joint we like. Oh, I also got her a card.

Every year I ask the missus what she wants for Valentine’s Day….

And every year she tells me the same thing – that Valentine’s Day is a sham, made up solely for the purpose of selling flowers and jewelry. “Useless crap” as she puts it.

That, and that she wants nothing for Valentine’s Day…

Pulp Fiction killed any fantasy of bondage. I ask the beautiful blonde if she will see FSG this weekend, she snaps, of course. I tell the church lady I don’t want to go see that chick flick, the beautiful blonde might be there, I hope she doesn’t have a stroke, she’s almost 60.

The church lady says V Day is now an opportune time to break up. I joke with her that it is a busy day for motels, especially those with sex channels. I wouldn’t go there, they are frequented by truck drivers with weird kitty fetishes, ha! I insist on getting her roses at Sam’s, she protests that they are cheaper elsewhere. Besides, she adds, these look like they won’t open. I say, some women don’t open. She laughs and puts the in the cart.

I’m not sure I’d try to spank any of the TBP ladies here. You’d likely end up getting spanked yourself!

Billy they always say they don’t want anything! That’s when you buy them a new shotgun or an excellent handmade knife.

El doggy calls V day ‘woman’s day’ because the gift giving is all one way. He says a guy should not give a woman any gifts if they don’t deserve them. He warns guys against playing the white knight by rescuing single mothers, including divorcees or widows with children. He goes on to describe a current situation in Latin America where women behave like men, drinking and engaging in free love.

North Edwards was populated with hillbillies and occasionally you heard about a guy standing on his roof, cops surrounding the place, and he was shouting, I just want my wife back!
There was also the time another loving couple there got in a fight and she said, if I had a gun, I’d shoot you! He said, here, and handed her a gun. RIP hillbilly.

T4C says: What is a nice/honorable history and reason for February 14th is being poisoned, raped, and sullied by that friggin’ book and movie.

Maybe this sado/maso/bondo movie should have debuted on Sadie Hawkins day.

El Siete I heard of a hillbilly that tried to outrun a State Trooper. The chase went on for miles, finally the hillbilly pulled over. Cop walked up mad as hell and asked him why he did not pull over. The hillbilly explained “Sir my wife ran off with a police officer and I was afraid you were trying to bring her back.”

I mentioned this before, 40ish woman in Rosamond was having an affair with a young fella. When her passion fruit dried up, she broke it off with the guy. He nevertheless sought her out on the pretext he had some papers to hand to her, lured her to his car. She stuck her head in, he tried to drive off with her and an angry hubs shot at him and killed the wife. Dumbfucks.
