Valentine chocolate

An ad that is showing on TV now has a lady saying, "It better be Russel Stover". Really?, because I don't think that my honey would be impressed.

Guys, what are you buying? Ladies, what do you want?

I want a quite dinner with a beautifully grilled heart shaped rib eye, baked potato and grilled asparagus. I don't eat candy, and my boyfriend refuses to buy flowers unless they have roots attached, so that's out. I did however buy tickets for us to the Pepsi 400 in July and his ticket will be in his card on his poillow when he gets out of the shower tomorrow morning.

Hello All,
My wife has been on a diet for the last ...many years, and actually got mad at me for buying her
chocolates a few years back. So I buy flowers. This year it is tulips.
Her widowed father visits us every Friday evening for supper, and this past week he brought her
a Hershey's Pot of Gold Heart.
He also bought our daughter, who is away at college, a Russel Stover Valentine's box, which we
shipped to her.
By the way, since my wife doesn't want candy as a gift anymore, I thought I have the candy to myself.
Well, I went to it yesterday and discovered she had eaten half the candy in the box.
Don't worry, I didn't say a word and didn't take a piece of her candy. There's no sense in stepping in
sh*t when you don't have to.
So, it's tulips this year.
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

for Valentine's Day, Godiva is the entry level and you should go up from there, not down to Russell Stover.

(I dont have a honey this year, so I will just buy some flowers for myself, because I am worth it!..)
I dont need the chocolates, but might waver at the candy aisle drooling over the new hershey kisses with peanut butter, though.. LOL...

Or to really impress .. buy berries .. Strawberries Raspberries Blackberries wash them then roll in sugar .. sugar frosted berries are yummy ... Or melt Dove chocolate and coat a few berries in that yummmmmmm and if you can make custard ... buy mini tarts add custard then place berries on top of custard dust with powdered sugar .. All better than flowers and/or box of chocolates

(A poem for Valentines Day-"Eternal Love")

WHEN YOU ARE OLD
By YEATS, WILLIAM BUTLER


When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.

And bending down beside the glowing bars
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.


William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), an Irish poet and dramatist, won the 1923 Nobel Prize in literature.

..........and yet another Valentine's Day poem...............


When you are old, and think you're sweet
Pull off your shoes and smell your feet!
