As I often say folks, I take care of my woman year round so I do not have to worry nor panic over the #HallmarkHoliday.

For Valentine's Day, glimpses of loving well from around the world

Roses fade and chocolate melts. Sometimes, as the songs go, love stinks, love bites and love hurts. Ahead of Valentine's Day, how can we get the love part right with anyone we care about — romantic partners, parents, children, pets, and even ourselves? It's a universal question that has been written about and debated for centuries. St. Thomas Aquinas taught that “to love is to will the good of the other." The Associated Press wanted to know how people around the world try to love well in contemporary life. The answers ranged from paying close attention and sticking together on tough days to making the bed every day because it pleases a partner.

We fall under the "no plans" but it is very simple. One, we both work. Two, more importantly, as I often say, I take care of my woman throughout the year so I do not have to worry over the #HallmarkHoliday

YMMV.

What Your Valentine’s Day Plans Say About Your Relationship

Celebrating Valentine's Day with a partner this year? Here’s what your Valentine’s Day plans say about your relationship.

VICE

Still need a gift for your significant other?

Roses? they wilt.
Candy? will be eaten and gone (if you get the kind they like).

So do something different and memorable: name a roach after them. Roaches are true survivors, just like your love.

Again, this is why I am so glad I married a nice low maintenance woman who does not worry about the #HallmarkHoliday. His mistake was leaving her a bit to "cool off" but all that did was give her time to stew. This being Texas I am surprised a bit she did not have a gun and shoot his huevos.

> Record Valentine's Day spending expected in Kentucky https://fox56news.com/news/kentucky/record-valentines-day-spending-expected-in-kentucky/

FTA: "The Kentucky Retail Federation (KRF) said love will drive America’s pounding hearts to spend a record $27.5 billion on Valentine’s Day this year."

No, hun, that is not really love. Another reason I am glad to be in a low maintenance relationship, and fact that I take care of my lady throughout the year so when the #HallmarkHoliday arrives, we just shrug and buy candy on sale day after. YMMV. #BadEconomy

I will be honest: got nothing here. Why?
