Hey, I know one free online dating site called vertigosex.com there you can search, contact and talk to single person for free and it’s true that you don’t need to pay to meet girls online. It’s really a best site among of all. Hope this will help you.
Good luck!

Anyone know of a good champagne that's sweet and not very dry? I remember we had a really good one at the Palm in Nashville when J proposed and according to their menu it's Mumm's Cuvee Napa Valley. Any thoughts...?

I toured Mumm Napa this past fall.

Brut = dry

Demi sec = sweet

What about a bottle of Sophia from Coppola? It's kinda flowery & sweet & very reasonable priced California sparkling wine.

SthrnZeta 02-12-2008 05:42 PM

Is that something you think I could find at Fresh Market...?

I didn't understand a single word of this post... I guess I'm old and out of touch. :(

Here's what to look for on the shelf. The bottle is enclosed in cellophane. (Not to be confused; however, with Cristal!!!)

LOL, ok thanks! Since J is deploying right after V-Day, I thought I'd "give him something special" rather than handing him some cheesy gift ;)

Our Valentines' day is going to = sushi + chocolate + champange + Survivor at home.

VandalSquirrel 02-12-2008 07:12 PM

I got him SIR ELTON JOHN tickets, but the concert isn't until the 12th of April. I am not sure what he's going to do for me, but he had a mysterious phonecall and this morning he left early to "make some arrangements" so I get a surprise.

We try and do little gifts or appreciations for each other when ever the mood strikes us, so this is just a February event. We did consider getting each other heart rate monitors but it was kind of dorky.

:( The link didn't work. Was it for Sophia at Coppola?

LucyKKG 02-14-2008 03:16 AM

Ahhh I failed! I spent a long time making heart-shaped cookies for my boyfriend, and they taste like crap. They aren't sweet enough among other problems. I'm not going to give them to him tomorrow. Should I just throw them out? Oh maaaaaaan!

Make him a coupon he can redeem for cookies later or for a finals care package. That way you have a homemade gift and time to do it (or redo it if something heinous happens).

I got Queso by Candlelight at work last night and flowers at home. However we ixnayed the candles as setting my office on fire would be in poor form. I made cupcakes and candy bags for some special peeps and saved some for us.

Question: if you were planning on celebrating Valentines this weekend - would you still expect flowers or something...? I was listening to the radio this morning and the woman on Kid Kraddick was saying how women in office settings have this pressure to see who gets the best V-Day gift and it made me laugh cuz it's kinda true. You always watch to see if people with SOs get flowers, etc delievered to their workplace. The guy I was dating senior year of college was in Iraq and he had flowers and two stuffed bears sent to my work and then called right after they were delivered and I will always remember that Valentines. Just wondering if I'm being to materialistic to want something special like that even if we're planning dinner, etc this weekend...?

I think you are - if you're not celebrating until this weekend, and he did something today, that would be like you getting TWO Valentine's Days. Most male minds don't work that way.

Also, I need to go buy my boyfriend a present sometime today. That's the pleasure of waiting until the weekend to celebrate! :D

Yes.

But I don't work in an office setting. So what he personally drops off (no deliveries--and I'm not a flower person b/c it's too predictable and easy) isn't for show.

I am taking B day presents today, and taking (and giving) V tines gifts this weekend :D

Male and female minds don't work that differently but rather it's about socialization and expectations. :)

If men and women express their expectations to one another, and don't tolerate slackers, then both men and women will work to meet them if they care enough. If a man or woman conveys that they are expecting a present today and this weekend, that's what the expecation is and it isn't a lot to as for.

Kevlar281 02-14-2008 12:27 PM

"15% of women in the work place buy their own flowers on Valentine's Day."

I heard this crazy stat on the news this morning. Is this legit? I mean is the pressure that high to get flowers on Valentine's Day that some women feel the need to fake it?

SthrnZeta 02-14-2008 12:48 PM

Let me put things in perspective for you regarding my wonderful fiance: this is the man who thought your wedding ring should be all blinged out since that's the one you wear forever :eek: So if we've planned to celebrate this weekend, I seriously doubt anything special will happen today. To his defense though, he has talked about getting a hotel in Nashville for Saturday night (and not staying in his dinky on base hotel room that night) and going out for sushi as our V-Day meal since we both love the stuff. Sooo.... I know it'll be a good time but it's always nice to get flowers at work IMO :o

DSTCHAOS 02-14-2008 12:58 PM

Have fun. :)

He and I express our expectations to one another so if either or both of us expect to receive something on the day of and more on that weekend when we celebrate more extensively, then that's what it is and it isn't too much to ask as far as we're concerned. :) That can sometimes depend on the timing (i.e. if someone's out of town) and the occasion, though.

srmom 02-14-2008 01:48 PM

My wonderful husband got a hotel for this weekend in Vail!!

Unfortunately, it's for him and 3 of his buddies!!

That's ok, we've been happily married for 23 years, so one Valentine weekend apart won't kill us ;)

KappaKittyCat 02-14-2008 02:39 PM

Probably not doing anything for V-day. There hasn't been much excitement on this day since I've been in my current relationship (now marriage). There was way more drama when I was single, mostly surrounding not having anyone to do stuff with. Now that I'm in a relationship, I'm seeing that there's not so much exiting here either. Or maybe I'm just boring.

4 years ago - We'd just started dating. The big production for V-day was really made by his roommate, who made a point of cleaning the apartment and clearing out. If I recall, we made dinner together that night, then fell asleep watching TV.

3 years ago - He worked at an upscale restaurant at the time, so there's no way he was getting V-day off. I scheduled myself to work that night so I wouldn't be alone.

2 years ago - He was in Japan. I spent the evening alone with my cats and some Ben & Jerry's.

1 year ago - I was on call for work. We tried to go out to dinner but I kept freaking out: "OMG, we're going to order and then I'm going to be paged and have to leave and everyone will be pissed." Wolfed down dinner and managed to make it home before getting paged and working most of that evening.

This year - We don't have any money to spare (on one income right now and saving for a house), so while flowers or something would be nice, I know I'm not getting anything because we can't afford it. We have a volleyball game tonight, so it'll be a quick dinner and then off to the rec center.

ETA: Work did give everybody chocolates this year, though. That was sweet of them.
