She just wants your bank account??? http://www.usatoday.com/news/snapshot.htm?section=L&label=2007-02-06-teddyb2 From USA Today: According to the National Retail Federation, consumers will spend $120 on Valentine's Day in 2007 - up from $101 last year. Presents we don't want on Valentines Day: Teddy bears: 45% Chocolate: 22% Jewelry: 14% Flowers: 13% Don't know: 6%
Wow, wouldnt have expected that. That teddy bear thing is WAY out of control, for a start....which i cant understand. Ive heard of guys going the giant stuffed toy route, and invariably, they thought "why the hell am i buying this? " If these stats are right, there's a lot of dissapointed women out their. Saying, "why the hell did i get this?" Not surprising though, given what, 6% dont know, what it is they dont want. Which is baffling enough, by itself.
Not if they replaced marriage with it-one romantic gesture a year, Vs a lifetime of uh.... Hydro, Ive read a lot of your posts, and i really cant fault them for sheer facts, knowledge, not even poor presentation, your always on the money, incisive in fact. But i mean, do you EVER turn off? Chill, you know? Nobody i ever met, smokin the hydro ,could do so much as order a packet of crisps & a slurpy at the 7/11. Ever. Conundrum.
Valentine's Day is a big deal around my house. Never underestimate how much nookie you can get from a silly little stuffed item that says "I love you" or sings "Wild Thing" from the drug store. Most women are on diets, but a little heart shaped chocolate is just what she REALLY wants. You can do Godiva for $100 but a small box of Russell Stover works too. And gals.....make his favorite meal. And don't get mad if he falls asleep in front of the TV. LOL.
