Valentines day
- Thread starter Elf
- Start date
Well, the first year I had a really nice dinner planned and got her some jewelry. It was actually a horrible evening. So the next year I took her to Arby's. The disappointment on her face was so great that now she expects nothing so this year we are just having some friends over.

See that's what I don't want to do .I don't want to set the standards very high .
I have found a card ,the young guy next to me said wow that was fast my reply "all you have to tell here is you mean every word in the card"
Good morning NEW C5er,
That is very interesting technology. While it doesn't have a Bluray player her laptop does have a DVD player and that might be good enough.
I wonder about using Smartphone time/data volumes as my internet is by comparison without any terrabyte limits for downloading so far as I know.......and she would not want to be paying additional fees some months for having exceeded her basic allotment.
I may send this to her and see what she thinks as she is a whole lot more tech savvy than I am.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Cheers,
Garry
Garry, if you want the best way to let her watch Netflick on TV get a "Chromecast". It is really lovely watching it on a big screen TV. Best $35 I've spent on media in a long time.. But they are only available from the States. Google it and then if you want, go and order it from Amazon etc.

It was a valentines day present or new tires for the vette, thank God Manny can keep a secret.
Well Steve, all I had to do was severely disappoint her, now her expectations are so low that anything above making her cook dinner is a win!
However, this worked for me but I don't recommend it.
Now as you are the same age as my father, I am trying to think of what my mom would have liked.... I think if he was just there for her, took her out for a supper and gave her a card with some flowers, she would have loved that. Basically spending time to be with her for her would have been all she wanted.

I like your first paragraph and it really fits for me .Second paragraph about spending time with her wow I'm not sure ,maybe I'll text her
Oh,I did get a card so far and some new ear rings .I need to show some appreciation after all we might not be together in another 60 years.
A card and some ear rings so far.......So there is a chink in that armour Steve.
I'm impressed, and I bet she will be too. Good for you.

Lots of flowers and a nice card did the trick here. 
We are going to Ireland for a couple of weeks this summer so she knows where the money is going.

Saved a few bucks as I was going all out and take to the damn China rose .She got sick before she ate (not serious ) so I had to go by myself

Well the thought was there -- what the heck.

I've picked up so much from this thread, and altho it wasn't useful this year, I'll certainly remember these 'gems' for future years.

Turn out ok;;; I said do you want me to pleasure you, or would you rather I go to the shop and get out of your way....... needless to say, I spent the day in the sawdust factory.
well I broke down late Friday and asked her if she wanted to go out for supper, she said "no, because i've gained five pounds in the last month." I proceeded to tell her that I thought that was a very conservative estimate ..... man I didn't see that frying pan coming ....

Whenever I pose this question, I end up doing dishes and cleaning the house. That gives my wife a lot of pleasure...
