Does anyone buy a Valentine's gift for a workmates? I get my administrator a gift at Christmas, but nothing for V Day.
I never have. I have brought in a box of chocolates for the office to share but that's the extent of it.

Not unless they are coupled.
I took a Valentine card to work for my boss one day.
He wasn't impressed.

From an HR point of view....it is inappropriate and can be misconstrued as sexual harassment. It is not recommend and many offices have policies restricting card and gift giving in the work place.
Besides Valentines Day is bullshit anyway.

My colleagues are all men and none of them have ever bought me an expensive gift for heart day. Therefore, if somebody as sweet as me doesn't get a heart day gift at work (even though I deserve it), no chick does. Is that clear? ac_sothere

I don't eat chocolate very often, but when I do it has to be the dark stuff.
I loove dark chocolate and milk chocolate and white chocolate and nuts with chocolate and smooth chocolate and wafers with chocolate and hot chocolate and and and..... I love all chocolate :yahoo:
White chocolate is not chocolate. It's just fat and sugar and it tastes like it too. :yuk:
But it's so creamy,...

What, do you think we're all unemployed bums? :laugh3:
You've been hanging around with those bastard factory rejects and VF toilet floaters for too long. :001_rolleyes:
Most of us here have families, lives and JOBS. The body has to eat and bills need to be paid. Kids need clothes and college tuition needs to be paid.
Truthfully I think that's a major determining factory in what sets us apart from the majority of the slobs on VF. May of the toilet dwellers are mentally or emotionally fucked up or just plain misanthropic cretins who live within the margins of society. People like us can only tolerate people like them for so long before friction developes.

What ever? I don't work. I completed all that stuff early on in my life. I'm in it just for me now.
So you're retired.

And the next day..."I'm going on a diet!"
A box of chocolates is about 1000 calories. Here's some ways to burn it off without dieting :)
TO BURN IT OFF, YOU'LL HAVE TO:
GO BOWLING for 5 hours and 15 minutes
WALK for 3 hours and 47 minutes
WASH DISHES for 7 hours and 21 minutes
CLIMB STAIRS for 2 hours and 3 minutes
DO AEROBICS for 2 hours and 12 minutes
You could also share some with your partner or kids but who the hell wants to do that?

I never thought of myself as a pet person, but my parents got me a bunny many years ago. Then Mommy brought home a cat last year that I have fallen in love with. Last thing I need in my final months of pregnancy is a puppy....even though he's so fucking adorable.
I'm getting ready to go out to eat..
My husband always surprises me where we go.

It's refreshing to have something nice that doesn't come with a jab.
Thanks Keeps!

He has a name.
Quote from: "RW"
So?
So???
"Oh, its Valenties Day, lets go for a lovely drive to a lonely shore, and walk on the beach hand in hand". Nope.
"Oh, its Valentines Day, how about I get on my knees and propose?" What knees?
"Oh, its Valentine's Day, let's go to a fancy French restaurant for a romantic dinner for 2?". "La Marseilles doesn't have high chairs". D'oh.
"Oh, its Valentine's Day...I bought you some roses to make you think of me". "But they don't have stems!".
See. Without legs, there is no Valentine's Day.
That's why I got Keeper a puppy he doesn't have to walk!
So, the puppy drags him along?
:oeudC:
I'm still blown away that you think people with no legs require a high chair.
Stops him slipping off the seat!!!
DERP.

The Dark Origins Of Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is a time to celebrate romance and love and kissy-face fealty. But the origins of this festival of candy and cupids are actually dark, bloody — and a bit muddled.
A drawing depicts the death of St. Valentine — one of them, anyway. The Romans executed two men by that name on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D.i

Though no one has pinpointed the exact origin of the holiday, one good place to start is ancient Rome, where men hit on women by, well, hitting them.
Those Wild And Crazy Romans
From Feb. 13 to 15, the Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia. The men sacrificed a goat and a dog, then whipped women with the hides of the animals they had just slain.
The Roman romantics "were drunk. They were naked," says Noel Lenski, a historian at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Young women would actually line up for the men to hit them, Lenski says. They believed this would make them fertile.
The brutal fete included a matchmaking lottery, in which young men drew the names of women from a jar. The couple would then be, um, coupled up for the duration of the festival — or longer, if the match was right.
The ancient Romans may also be responsible for the name of our modern day of love. Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine's Day.
Later, Pope Gelasius I muddled things in the 5th century by combining St. Valentine's Day with Lupercalia to expel the pagan rituals. But the festival was more of a theatrical interpretation of what it had once been. Lenski adds, "It was a little more of a drunken revel, but the Christians put clothes back on it. That didn't stop it from being a day of fertility and love."
Around the same time, the Normans celebrated Galatin's Day. Galatin meant "lover of women." That was likely confused with St. Valentine's Day at some point, in part because they sound alike.
William Shakespeare helped romanticize Valentine's Day in his work, and it gained popularity throughout Britain and the rest of Europe.i

Shakespeare In Love
As the years went on, the holiday grew sweeter. Chaucer and Shakespeare romanticized it in their work, and it gained popularity throughout Britain and the rest of Europe. Handmade paper cards became the tokens-du-jour in the Middle Ages.
Eventually, the tradition made its way to the New World. The industrial revolution ushered in factory-made cards in the 19th century. And in 1913, Hallmark Cards of Kansas City, Mo., began mass producing valentines. February has not been the same since.
Today, the holiday is big business: According to market research firm IBIS World, Valentine's Day sales reached $17.6 billion last year; this year's sales are expected to total $18.6 billion.
But that commercialization has spoiled the day for many. Helen Fisher, a sociologist at Rutgers University, says we have only ourselves to blame.
"This isn't a command performance," she says. "If people didn't want to buy Hallmark cards, they would not be bought, and Hallmark would go out of business."
And so the celebration of Valentine's Day goes on, in varied ways. Many will break the bank buying jewelry and flowers for their beloveds. Others will celebrate in a SAD (that's Single Awareness Day) way, dining alone and binging on self-gifted chocolates. A few may even be spending this day the same way the early Romans did. But let's not go there.

I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day Azhya..
What is Adams Morgan? A steakhouse?
Hi, Fash. It's a section in the district which is multicultural. They have lots of restaurants there, apartments, and businesses. My favorite place there is an Ethiopian restaurant. A coworker opened a Korean restaurant there too which I have yet to visit.

When was that pic taken? Judging from the year and model cars, I'd have to say at least 20 or more years ago.
Does it still look like that?
