\"Cupid\"<\/a>It’s Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n

If you’re a husband or boyfriend, you better have geared up with flowers or a dinner reservation.<\/p>\n

At the very least.<\/p>\n

It’s changed over the years.<\/p>\n

It used to be both the lady and the guy swapped a mushy card and that was it.<\/p>\n

I remember when I was a little kid and the teacher used to have everybody make “secret admirer” cards.<\/p>\n

The cute guys got them all and us ugly kids got left out.<\/p>\n

One teacher who did that, I found out much later, had been married 3 times.<\/p>\n

No wonder.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it then somehow became a major booster to the economy and you better be spending a lot of money on your honey or her feeling’s will be hurt and some TV reporter will interview lots of store owners complaining.<\/p>\n

Trust me – you don’t want that.<\/p>\n

I have a long list of wonderful and goofy gift ideas.<\/p>\n

They won’t work.<\/p>\n

Food, diamonds, flowers, food\u00a0and candy is about it.<\/p>\n

Women can be very traditional about this stuff.<\/p>\n

Don’t even think of giving her a new pan unless you want to be wearing in on your head.<\/p>\n

If the wife is reading this, which she rarely does, something electric, expensive and heavy is fine for me.<\/p>\n

\"Heart<\/a>If you guys need something different for the little woman – try this.<\/p>\n

I would suggest adding a quart of something 100 proof at the same time.<\/p>\n

Consider it an investment in peace and happiness.<\/p>\n

Happy Valentines Day.<\/p>\n

Now go get a card.
\nAt least.<\/p>\n
