I know many of you realize the benefits of health and fitness, but I would advise against purchasing one of the many sale priced Thigh Masters available as a Valentine gift for your loved one.

I think that is a great idea. Go ahead and let us know how it goes. It kind of reminds me of this....

I walked into the house one day, and I told my wife I did some early birthday shopping for her. I intended it as a joke, but her face lit up. She was disappointed to find two mega-packs of paper towels and two gallons of distilled vinegar, to assist with her cleanup efforts for one of our cats with health problems. She doesn't appreciate me.:laughing:

Over 20 years ago, I bought my now-ex-wife a Chia pet for Christmas. Yes, it was a joke. Yes, I bought her several other NICE things along with it. Yes, she's still pissed off and even mentioned it to my youngest daughter recently. Sheesh! Wimmen.

Dropped 2 dozen roses off at Sweeties office yesterday. She was out for a few minutes, so it was a nice surprise when she walked back in. No more doghouse for me!!

Come on guys, shake loose. A nice pair of diamond earrings will heal a lot of wounds. I'll never forget, in the early years of our marriage, I bought a big scrub brush, put it in a cardboard tube, wrapped it pretty and gave it to Sharn Jean for Christmas...as a joke. Yeah, I was young and stupid; I thought it would be funny. She didn't think so...and when she started crying, I knew I had screwed up. Took me a while to make that right...and I later learned it's better to "forget" and not get a gift at all, than to get the wrong thing. Women look at a gift in a different way than a man; they interpret it as representing what you think of them.

I got her a little novelty gift for Valentines; I usually don't get much, if anything. It was a large cup, with hearts on it and says "Happy Valentines"...it also has a small stuffed "Snoopy" dog sitting in the cup. She smiled, said something like "that's sweet" and went on about her business.

When you mess up they will NEVER forget!

Watch this if you haven't seen it. It explains a lot.

My wife doesn't wear jewelry, THANK GOD!!!, but she does love her flowers, so I get her a dozen bare root roses that she enjoys planting and taking care of. She would probably appreciate exercise equipment, but that would just mean that I would have to build her a gym.

My wife literally is practical. Doesn’t like getting candy, flowers, cards, etc. She likes a simple dinner out for two at places like Red Robin, Chili’s, or even Panda Express. It does pay to invest throughout the year by doing meaningful stuff together which we enjoy. Personally, Valentine’s Day is a “squeeze-it-all-in-one-day-of-the-year” way of professing your love.

Did I mention that she’s a therapist and Swedish?

No, I’m not sharing.
