    Well, it's a good setup to make her think that you forgot her so you can spring that elaborate romantic gesture you have planned. Right? Right??

        The cult of consumerism run amok, and most of us understand that.

        Not too different from days when eggs that pop out of the rear end of a rabbit are to be gathered, or days when we are expected to buy a TV to honor dead presidents, or even days when we need to use up the strategic reserve of green food coloring for the year.

            Isn't that idea somewhat in opposition to the diamonds are forever thought process?

                Definitely companies are marketing and banking off holidays. As always, its what you make of it.

                My diamonds remark was a dry humor response. But diamonds and whatever fulfills peoples lifestyle too.

                    You better do something!

                    I'm keeping it low key, but it the thought that counts. Some flowers, a card, a silly balloon, and making dinner.

                        My wife and I get a pizza, sometimes a heart shaped one - that's been our thing.

                        But really we don't buy things for each other on this day, we share stuff on random occasions not so much on pre-defined holidays. Also, we've been spending money together on bigger things like house stuff/yard/etc.


                        In car talk.

                        I've been contemplating a kswap for the next E30. Also considering F20c (S2000) swap into an E30. I've seen it done in 2002s so it should work in an E30, but is it the dimensions of the tranny that are causing them to not be as prevalent? Kswap is likely still the go-to, but I like the idea of the f20 too.

                            Just go out to dinner and grab her a flower(s) or something, I'm sure she'd apricate that.

                            LOL @ the matrix vid.
                            I drew that matrix and plotted all my friends sisters where I thought they landed and sent it out HA! All my friends w/o sisters thought it was funny. The others did not.

                              My partner and I both think its a silly "holiday", but it's still nice to get a nice gesture.

                              That being said, I find it stressful.

                                Maybe the point is to have the day be extremely stressful so the night can be filled with stress relief.
