That really means a lot coming from you man. I’m still an amateur in the literature department, haha.

Write what you know. Your depth and breadth of knowledge is amazing. And, not for nuthin, I am always amazed by the collective intelligence of this group of iron heads. It’s a cool crowd.

Put a bow on the old fella…

Romance done!

Fuck me. My wife asked me yesterday what I’m getting her. Uhmmm, you mean besides the $250 dinner, the trip we just got back from (yesterday) to see your family, the clothes I bought you while there, or the continuing education you’re doing later this month that I just paid for..

You should know that it isn’t about the cost but about making an effort and putting some thought into it.

PS. Don’t buy any cheap knock off shit lol

At least with Valentine’s Day, there’s a chance you’ll hear it mentioned by a friend/co-worker, or on a TV/radio commercial, etc. The scary one for me is forgetting her birthday.

Case in point. My job entails giving lectures at the med school once or twice a month. I plan out these visits a month or two in advance, as they determine my surgery schedule. Anyhoo, a few weeks ago I had the following (disastrous) conversation with my wife:

ME: “I need to pick a lecture date in March. They have two openings: The 9th, and the 23rd. Can you think of a reason why I should pick one over the other?”

HER: “You mean, other than the fact that the 9th is my birthday?”

Damn.

I’m lucky, my wife won’t let me forget it… 1 month before, we’ve already got every minute of it planned.

My mom sent Valentine cards to my kids and they arrived today…reminding me that tomorrow is the 14th.

My wife will be getting her biggest Valentine gift yet (I think): a $15 gift card to Starbucks.

We don’t do Valentines Day. We agreed early in the relationship that it’s a stupid “holiday”. I’d get her nothing but she’s still a girl and likes to be remembered. I prefer to get flowers and stuff on random days.

my mother tried to melt chocolate in a rice cooker. I was not aware of this- was lifting at the time but quickly(actually not quickly, took 20 minutes) deduced it when the chocolate on a double boiler wouldn’t melt. I fixed it with a microwave and alot of oil. Essentially made a vinaigrette but with caramelized chocolate and oil
Edit- the strawberries came out fine. (yes she was melting chocolate to put strawberries in)

That sounds positively disgusting

Well, today is the day my wife emerges from the kitchen. If she sees her shadow and retreats back in, it’s 12 more months of overcooked steaks.
