So what are you getting your sweetie for Valentine's Day?

[Modem Butterfly]

I'm in need of inspiration. So what are you folks getting your sweeties, or yourselves, for VD?

[edbermac]

1. Or yourselves for VD??

Freudian slip, perhaps?

[Modem Butterfly]

3. My Freudian slip is showing!

Totally unintentional. But getting yourself something for VD would be a real shot in the arm, wouldn't it?

[jswordy]

4. ANTIBIOTICS!

[livinginphotographs]

2. I'm getting myself a 12-pack.

And spending it with the ones I love (my computer, my beer, and myself).

I was going to get myself a leopard-print thong this year, but that would just be wrong in so many ways.

[Beaverhausen]

5. warning- you are going to get a bunch of whiny responses

that sound like this:

"I hate Valentines day. Why do I have to buy flowers and chocolate? Flowers die and I hate chocolate."



I got my honey a guitar effects box. It's red...he's gonna love it!

[Modem Butterfly]

6. Single people suck

Okay, kidding, I kid! Put down the flamethrowing singletons! Back away from the box of matches, you dateless freaks!

My sweetie is getting me something big, so he says, so I'd better cough up a gift, too, or else.

[Beaverhausen]

10. Well, what is he into?

I went with the practical gift this year.

The past few years were more romantic/sexy like fun sleepwear/sex toys/candles.

But he needed this effect box bad and someone here was selling one at a great price.

[Modem Butterfly]

14. All sorts of things, but he's been working so much lately

And he's been so sick, I think I'll get him a full-body massage at a day spa near his office.

Hmm... I've been working a lot, and I've been sick. Maybe I'll get a couple's package!

[Beaverhausen]

16. that's a great idea

And one tip, if price is a consideration, you might want to check around to massage schools in your area. Sometimes they offer low priced massages from graduates who just need practice.

yes, I am a massage therapist!

[Lady Freedom]

29. Wow

That sounds so cool!!!!!

[Beaverhausen]

31. here it is

http://line6.com/productDetail.html?model=4

I got it "slightly" used from a DUer.

I am so excited for him to have it. He has a gig next thursday. I hope he can learn to work with it by then.

[Lady Freedom]

36. That is so sweet!

he is going to party with that baby!!!

[giant_robot]

7. It's a tough call this year.

It's early in the relationship. She is definitely more of a lingerie type than a chocolate and flowers type. I don't know her size, though.

[Beaverhausen]

9. Can you peek in her drawers and see what her size is?

I didn't mean it like that!!!

[giant_robot]

12. Peeking in her drawers is on the "to do" list...

...and it doesn't matter which way you meant it! :evilgrin:

[Modem Butterfly]

13. Always go big on top and small on the bottom

And you can't lose. Just make sure she can exchange it if she wishes. Failing that, get her a silky, sexy kimono and a pair of peek-a-boo slides.

[giant_robot]

17. Thank you!

I needed a woman's input on this. Now all I need to do is find a lingerie store with patient, understanding clerks.

[Modem Butterfly]

18. If you're going the exchange route, make sure you lay out some $$$

You don't have to spend a fortune, but if it's something she's probably going to exchange, you want to make sure you're not going to be embarassed when she finds out how much you spent on her.

[Beaverhausen]

19. Even big department stores have a nice selection of naughty lingerie

this time of year. And of course there is always Victoria's Secret!

[giant_robot]

23. This is starting to sound like it might be fun! n/t

[Dark]

8. I don't have a sweetie.

:cry:

[TNDemo]

11. We're going to see Natalie Cole perform with the symphony.

There will probably be some chocolate around too.

[flamingyouth]

15. We're going to the Texas Roadhouse

And he's getting a small present, but I don't want to spoil the surprise.

[B Calm]

22. Have you ever tried the Road Kill at Texas Road House?

Taste a lot better than it sounds..

[flamingyouth]

35. I've actually never been there

Looking forward, though. :D

[B Calm]

43. The Road Kill is one of the cheaper things on the menu. It

is like a steak pattie with green peppers, onions and cheese melted on it. It taste really good..

[flamingyouth]

45. That actually does sound good

How are their margaritas? :hi:

[Xipe Totec]

48. Funny you should mention that...

There is this one 'special' Chinese buffet in downtown Houston that serves the world's worst barbecued pork ribs. It's not that they taste bad, its just that they cut them so poorly that they are full of bone shards and you will tear your mouth to pieces trying to eat one. It looked to us as if the carcass hadn't been butchered but instead just dropped in the middle of I-45 to let the traffic take care of it. So we dubbed it the Road Kill Buffet. We reserved this special place to host going away luncheons for people who had been particularly obnoxious during their tenure at our company. If you had your going away luncheon there, you knew that you managed to piss off pretty much everybody.

After a while it became a matter of water cooler gossip and side bets to guess who would be the next person to merit the dubious honor of eating at the Road Kill Buffet.

:evilgrin:

[rbnyc]

20. I'm going to shave.

:P

[ElsewheresDaughter]

33. yeah me too ...my legs

[B Calm]

21. Carribean Cruise

No not really, she wouldn't want me to waste the money. I'll probably take her out for a nice meal, give her a Valentine card and a Anniversary Card because we were married on the 14th of February in 1976.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

24. We're on a tight budget

So I'm making him a heart-shaped pan of brownies.

[Beaverhausen]

25. Oh that's sweet!

[TNDemo]

26. Do you have kids?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

50. Yup...

6 and 17 y.o. boys. They each get a bag of Reese's. And my little guy makes valentines for us. :)

[TNDemo]

51. Well, your 17-year-old is probably too old for this

and the other may be too. Back when we were absolutely broke and the kids were little for Valentine's I put red lipstick on the kids and had them kiss a piece of paper. I then framed it in a heart-shaped frame and gave it to their dad on Valentine's. We still have it. :)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

57. That's a sweet idea...

My seventeen year old might do it if I found some black lipstick for him... :D

[Nikia]

27. I've generally bought my husband chocolate

He really likes chocolate.

[Lady Freedom]

28. lets see...

I got him a NFL football, lots of candy, a crush-o-gram, breakfast in bed is planed for the day before V-day, and dinner made by your truly for the night of the celebration.Oh and the much anticipated card.

[Worst Username Ever]

30. We are each donating 50 dollars to our wedding fund

Gotta get married someday.

Then we are staying home and having fondue and wine for two.

[Modem Butterfly]

37. How romantic!

[Lady Freedom]

42. How sweet!!!!!

[guitar man]

38. This

I have narrowed it down to this one or a black one that is identical except for the color. I don't think she is going to mind getting a used present this year. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

39. Myself. That's all he needs!

:hi:

[WindRavenX]

40. Writing a poem

...and giving him a super corny Spider-man valentine's card for fun. What guy wouldn't love that?
And, I'm bringing my lickable marshmellow body shimmer...:evilgrin:

[Pale Blue Dot]

41. A dictionary.

Obviously, it's kind of a long story.

[benny05]

44. A Watch

What he has wanted so much lately...

[Xipe Totec]

46. I am married to a chocoholic who is allergic to pollen

Makes my life very easy.
:evilgrin:

[greatauntoftriplets]

47. He wants red lace panties.....

on me.

:)

[Worst Username Ever]

49. Deodorant

Just kidding. See post 30.

[ChickMagic]

52. My honey got me a rock hammer

to replace my old one that my ex did away with. Leather handle, single forged. And, he's getting a holster for it too! I love that guy... :loveya:

[Modem Butterfly]

64. Cool! Now you can begin toting your wall out into the yard...

...one pocketful at a time.

[MissMillie]

53. I don't have a sweetie

and this week I'm too broke to spend money on myself. Maybe some other time.

54. I will give my sweetie my undivided attention...

all evening on Monday... :)

[Magrittes Pipe]

55. Herpes is the gift that keeps on giving.

Unfortunately, I don't have herpes, and am unlikely to contract it by Monday. :cry:

So I guess I'll just get her something nice. :loveya:

[yvr girl]

58. I have to find a sweetie first, time is running out

*sigh*

[ProfessorGAC]

59. Taking Her & Her Widowed Friend To A French Restaurant

But, the dog still needs to buy mom something.

Of course, i have to take him to the store. Then he'll have some lame excuse about not being allowed in the store and how he has no thumbs to take the gift to the register and all that.

Then, he'll tell me he forgot his wallet and could i lend him the money, but he'll pay me back. (Like he doesn't already owe me about $5,000!)

Same thing every year. Useless, no job havin', thug.
