O/T Poll: What Did You Get Her for Valentine\'s Day?
 

Just because I'm nosy.

When I started playing on-line, my wife joked about how she expected some nice "shiny" stuff with all my poker winnings.

She got her first "official poker-earned, shiny stuff" Sat. Nothing big, but she chuckled with embarrasment when I told her what it represented. She says: "I really didn't mean that you know", but "shiny stuff is always good." [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

My wife usually likes flowers delivered to her work so everyone can see. This year since it was on Saturday and she is off on Fridays i asked her if shed rather goto a really high dollar steak restaurant on Saturday and she said absolutely. So we did that and then went and saw Adam Sandlers new movie which was very good. Then we went home and....

I went shopping all day long with my wife on V-Day, then we went to a nice dinner. Also, I promised her no poker/poker talk.

I was in AC for Valentine's Day because all it is is a BS Hallmark holiday. I'd rather get my girlfriend flowers and take her out to dinner at random times than when someone tells me I'm supposed to. Luckily, my girlfriend agrees with this philosophy.

sure its a made up holiday to make money. but my wife also gets pleasure out of it. To me ALL holidays are just ways to enjoy my family anyway so i dont mind if the govt makes money. just fyi-Jesus really wasnt born on Christmas and i dont remember the story in the bible where a rabbit chases Lucipher away with eggs.

I understand this and I don't mind if the gov't or whoever makes money. But I don't like doing something solely because I'm supposed to. On Valentine's Day you're supposed to make the one(s) you love feel special, but I'd like to think I do that every day. I don't need to be told that I must buy flowers, go out to dinner, and so on, on a specific day of the year. It's supposed to be a romantic day, but how can it be romantic when you are only doing it because society says you are supposed to. I'd much rather do something romantic when I have the urge.

just fyi-Jesus really wasnt born on Christmas and i dont remember the story in the bible where a rabbit chases Lucipher away with eggs.

I know what you're saying. It's just that when I really think about it, I find it sad that we need to be assigned designated days on which to spend quality time with our friends/family/etc.

I don't fault anyone for celebrating Valentine's Day or any other holiday, it just isn't for me.

Yes, she does. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That's part of the reason I'm with her. We have similar philosophies on life. [Insert random day here] is more romantic than Valentine's Day.

I got her the biggest lazy boy I could find. Doesn't hurt that it fits my fat butt comfortably too!

Re: O/T Poll: What Did You Get Her for Valentine\'s Day?
 

Your poll would've been complete if you included Chlamydia as one of the choices.

I got her a shiny new trip to the Borgata with about 40 hours of poker playing per person and a nice dinner on saturday.

Re: O/T Poll: What Did You Get Her for Valentine\'s Day?
 

I think you read the question wrong. It was What did you get your Honey for V-Day?, not What did you get your Honey for VD-day?.

Re: O/T Poll: What Did You Get Her for Valentine\'s Day?
 

A great time was had by all. We had a nice dinner, a couple of drinks with friends, she got a nice new slide for her Victorian bracelet courtesy of Party Poker [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] and then we went home where I got mine [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Does she have a sister? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I decided that it would be more romantic if i made my girlfriend a nice dinner (actually i was late in attempting to make reservations and couldnt get in anywhere). The appetizers consisted of a spinach artichoke dip severed in a sourdough bread bowl and mussels sauteed in garlic and wine. The main course was dill salmon steak served with green beans and a vinagerette sauce. Dessert was a strawberry cheesecake and lots of whip cream. I also made some killer sangria that knocked me on my ass. Judging by the gift that the GF recipricated i'll say that i did well [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Or, for those who spend a lot of time in casinos, the question should probably have read Where did you get your honey for V-Day?. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: O/T Poll: What Did You Get Her for Valentine\'s Day?
 

Then we went home and.... you logged onto party?

Re: O/T Poll: What Did You Get Her for Valentine\'s Day?
 

My girlfriend and I went to a really nice dinner on friday night, because places don't have set menus and overcharge for everything else. I did send her flowers at work on friday so she could show off. So on Saturday night, she was very in the mood................................ so we logged onto party!

Its funny because i sent a hand history to a friend and he was like "WTF are youdoing playing poker on V-Day?"

Our cat destroyed her favorite sweater a couple of weeks ago. She bought it from QVC, so I did some research and found an exact match. Ordered it, paid for quick shipping, and gave it to her for Valentine's Day (along with a card and a truffle chocolate bar). She was suitably impressed [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Believe it or Not.....
 

I was 'let out' Friday night to play some live poker. I first went to get wine, Ginger Altoids, card, See's chocolate, a couple books I thought she'd like, and the roses. Then I played 4/8 hold'em for two hours, and won the exact amount I had spent on VD stuff.

Re: Believe it or Not.....
 

GINGER altoids?
