Valentine's Day

[1MPH]

For all the Romantics in the Cafe'. :velvt:



FAMOUS MOVIE LOVE QUOTES


Casablanca:
Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time.


City of Angels:
I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her
mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it.


Crimes and Misdemeanors:
My husband and I fell in love at first sight... maybe I should have
taken a second look.


Fried Green Tomatoes:
A heart can be broken; but it keeps beating just the same.


Four Weddings and a Funeral:
I always just hoped that, that I'd meet some nice friendly girl, like
the look of her, hope the look of me didn't make her physically sick,
then pop the question and... um... settle down and be happy. It
worked for my parents. Well, apart from the divorce and all that!


Love and Death:
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love; but then
one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to
love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love; to
be happy then is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy;
therefore to be unhappy one must love or love to suffer or suffer
from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.


When Harry Met Sally:
I love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out. I love that it
takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get
a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm
nuts. I love that after I spend day with you, I can still smell your
perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want
to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm
lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight
because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with
somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as
possible.


When Harry Met Sally:
You can't express every feeling that you have every moment that you
have them.


Wizard of Oz:
Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable...

Good ones Jack.

Ms. Betty has always taken Valentines Day pretty seriously.
I've always taken it as just another "Day" to spend money for the candy & floral industries' benefit.
I just saw the two steaks & lobster tails she has for dinner tonight.
I think I'll start taking Valentines Day more seriously...:velvt:

Dave, Lets not forget the card companies. Over 1 billion thats 1,000,000,000 cards sold today.

Why is it that you have to buy someone else's art and thoughts to get one ataboy? I gave mama a picture of the new HP2 that had I love you written on it and she slamed the door as she left for what she called retail therapy. Where did I mess up? I remembered it was Valentines Day--didn't I.

[Optimus Prime]

I told my wife, when we started dating and got around to our first Valentines day, that I think it's extortion and complete bullshit. I refuse, on principle, to do anything for Valentines day.

On the other hand, I do buy flowers and such on random days throughout the year to let her know I care. I feel it's much more sincere that way, instead of doing it because some force external to our relationship tells me I must.

In the immortal words of Dagwood Bumsted, "Husbands are a sorry lot..."
I learned the *very* hard way, long ago, that a mop, broom, or similar "convenience" is not welcome as a gift of affection on a "special day", even if intended as a joke and backed up with a "real" present !
Women have no sense of humor...:linzi:

Our Urban Planner has a great set up. Each year he and his wife go to a card shop, pick out one they each like. Let the other read the card. Put it back and go home.

They began the habit when they were poor newly weds, but have maintained the tradition.

I asked about his card for her last year. It read:
Cover side -"You're the girl I'd choose to be stranded with on an island."
Inside - "Nice Coconuts"*

Dang! Why didn't I get in on the ground floor of that idea? Way, way too late now.


* And, it's the truth!

Bubba,
The only thing I can think of is it must have been in black and white. I bet if you did it again, but this time with a color picture, you'd get a much better reaction. Try drawing little hearts on it, that might help also........As the late great Dean Martin once said " women, you can't live with then and you can't live with them". Now that's with the exception of all the lovely sisters in the Cafe.

This time of year is not my favorite. I have V-day, Mrs. Brakechecks B-Day and our anniversary all within a one month period.

Still, I do pick up a card and usually, I'll buy something nice to plant in the garden. This year I bought a couple rose bushes. She likes it because she gets to enjoy the flowers for a long time.

I also cook dinner. Since Polly works hard it's the least I can do. On the menu tonight are lamb chops with a nice madeira sauce, which reminds me, I better get cracking...

I made a terrible mistake the first Valentines Day after the fair and lovely Debbie and I were married. I made her a Valentines Day card all by myself. Just tossed something together on the computer at work because I'd not bought anything. Made something silly, a little naughty. Printed it out and stuffed it in an envelope. Saved myself $3.00 so what the heck...

She loved the card. Almost cried. She was so touched she insists I make her a card every year now.

Boy, did I screw up!
