:) :) :) :) Thats awesome Archie - and HAPPY Valentines Day to you all too - I didn't mean to sound so depressing when I posted I promise !! and marcerella02 - ya he's really really sick now - they said it's a matter of months but so far he's beaten the 'estimates' ....so in the bigger scope of things it could be worse...

and Carol is right - those of us who don't 'celebrate' can always do something just for ourselves - my plan will probably be laundry :eek: :eek: lol

dont worry , i will be spending it alone too, well without a man, i will be with lexi though...and thats good enough for me..... aint no big deal anyway.
its an over rated day thats all...

tell me about it, one of our pipe guys came in and was asking us what to get his girlfriend so i was like ohhhh a purse such and such so our sales rep steps in and says get her this juicy couture neckalce and bracelet and the charms to go with it, im like ok thats like how much and shes like oh about 200 maybe and we both were like ok we cant afford that.

they make a ton around here while we are getting paid monthly probably what they spend going out to dinner.
she was telling me about her being offered this job and another at the same time and that they were going to pay 7 thou more a month but that we pay her insurance and her car payments and all of her expenses such as gas oilchanges and such so she figured she would coem here, im like 7 more a month what do make here and i guesss she cant say i dont know but my manager here said he pays 3 thou a month just in child support and that his ex doesnt work and wants more money for herself, and you dont even have to write off child support so its like free money, im like 3 a month thats 3 times what i make a month, and i work my butt off, thats crazy

Well, to all of you that are spending Valentine's Day alone or rather with your furbaby, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! I am spending it with my family, which include our furbabies. No fancy, exspensive dinners by candle lit and flowers....that is hard to come by when you have kids.....plus, it really is a waste of money. I gonna make some black eyed peas with ham, cornbread, and collards.....sounds yummy to me!!

wow i have no idea what any of those foods are you just mentioned but it sounds like a WONDERFUL valentine's day!

I'm so sorry. That's tough for you Villette. I remember those days with my OH. Now it's just me and the kids who are on their own and little Tink who give me thousands of kisses a day. So yep, I'm awfuly thankful for her. I hope things will not be too hard for you and your forever man.:hug:

Oh well - that stinks doesn't it? I hope he brings you home something nice.

Oh V, I am praying for you and your family right now!! That makes my V-day woes really silly!!

Send some up to us!!!

Now, I like your style AND YOUR EATS! Sure wish I could come to dinner! I love blackeyed peas with ham cornbread and collards -- dinner just doesn't get much better than that! :D Is this your traditional Valentine's Day Dinner" or did it just work out that way?

I think and feel valentines day is more for the younger kids and more for new loves. When you get older they seem like just another day.

WE usually just go out to dinner and Hubby always buys me choclates and a sweet card. This year we didnt go to dinner we are snowed in and I couldnt get Hubby a card SO I copied and printed out the RED-NECK VALENTINE'S LOVE POEM someone on YT posted. LMBO yes I did .....and thats what he got. Only I changed some of the words around like the dogs name. and He read it all then Laughed, So it was good for a good laugh.

Heres what it said on my card.
To My Man

Collards is green
my dog's name is Mic
and I'm so lucky to have
a sweet thang like you.

Yore hair is like cornsilk
a-flapping in the breeze
Softer than Mic's
and without all them fleas.

You move like the bass,
which excite me in May.
You ain't got no scales
but I luv you anyway.

Yo're as satisfy'n as okry
jist a-fry'n in the pan.
Yo're as fragrant as "snuff"
right out of the can.

You have som'a yore teeth,
for which I am proud;
I hold my head high
when we're in a crowd.

On special occasions,
when you shave under yore arms,
well, I'm in hawg heaven,
and awed by yore charms.

Still them fellers at work,
they all want to know,
what I did to deserve
such a purdy, young Stud.

Like a good roll of duct tape
yo're there fer yore woman,
to patch up life's troubles
and fix what you can.

Yo're as cute as a junebug
a-buzzin' overhead.
You ain't mean like those far ants
I found in my bed.

Cut from the best cloth
like a plaid flannel shirt,
you spark up my life
more than a fresh load of dirt.

When you hold me real tight
like a padded gunrack,
my life is complete;
Ain't nuttin' I lack.

Yore complexion, it's perfection,
like the best vinyl sidin'.
despite all the years,
yore age, it keeps hidin'.

Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie
with a RC cold drank,
we go together
like a skunk goes with stank.

Some women, they buy chocolate
for Valentine's Day;
They git it at Wal-Mart,
it's romantic that way.

Some menan women git roses
on that special day
from the cooler at Kroger.
"That's impressive," I say.

Some men buy fine diamonds
from a flea market booth.
"Diamonds are forever,"
they explain, suave and couth.

But for this man, honey, these won't do.
Cause yo're too special, you sweet thang you.
I got you a gift, without taste nor odor,
more useful than diamonds...
IT'S A NEW Shovel
Love the women.


Now I hope he dont take it to work with him and tell people there that thats what I gave him. lol

lonely on Valentine's day ...
 

This is the 5th Valentine's Day since my husband passed away (way too young) in June 2002. ... and I just try not to think about it ... and I share the day with my daughter, Monday and now Friday!!!.... what more can I ask for? I know ... but thatz not possible!
My daughter has a nice b'friend so that is a plus ....

Yes, he did. He gave me a beautiful orchid plant. Anyone know how to keep it alive??:confused:

Good intentions
 

V, I really meant to send you an e-card for Valentine\'s Day but I must have deleted your email address. Sorry, can the thought count??
