How do you feel about Valentines Day?

I'm scheduled to donate blood that day. Coincidence, but it seems oddly appropriate.

I do miss getting a slew of valentines on the holiday because that was one of the big appeals when I was a kid and teenager, but most of my inner circles of friends and family members now share valentines only with their significant others if they have them (and even bother to give them anything in the first place) and don't tend to give anybody else a card or special message even if it's purely platonic and friendly.

Elementary school in February used to be a whirlwind of valentines, candy exchanges and fun things to do. The handmade valentines with crayons and markers were the most fun.

Yes, it does. I like that.

I wonder how many people are scheduled for heart transplants that day.

I can think of a few who need one....

As a holiday I find it OK, except I cringe everytime its pronounced Valentime's.

Something for everyone in Korea.
Valentines: Women give men chocolates.
White Day (March 14): Guys give chocolates to the ladies.
Black Day (April 14): Singles with no one to share chocolates go out together for Jajangmyeon (자장면) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jajangmyeon

That's cool! Its nice that there is a day for the single folks.

It kind of makes up for having to endure Valentines day

Really? For some reason, I find it strangely adorable.

That reminds me....there's a Charlie Brown Valentine's Day cartoon I haven't seen in eons. I might look it up for old time's sake.

I've only ever heard it called "Valentime's" by people complaining that some people call it "Valentime's."

On one level I think why do you need a speical day to show someone how much you care about, but if it makes them happy good for them. That being a single person, I can sometimes find valentines day, one of the hardest on a emotional level. Don't get me wrong except for a few days of the year I usually don't mind that I'm single, however that doesn't mean I wouldn't like someone to share my life with.

It's a great holiday for lovers and singles.

Hallmark Holiday, but more importantly, a real Kobayashi Maru for men, and, I would imagine, a lady or two...
