Hello Fellow Travelers!
So we're done seeing another brain surgeon the other day (No kidding. He was a neurologist!) and Patient Spouse is predictably listening to sports radio where his favorite sports dude is trying to sell predominantly male population the idea all women want flowers no matter what they say. So, PS starts asking me if it's true and what do I think, and though Valentine's Day and Romance seem distant memories right now I try to indulge him and give his question due consideration. Do women really want flowers? Do women want chocolate? Who doesn't want chocolate? It's chocolate!
Flowers? Trickier. Once a couple has even a passing interest in one another's longevity, all in-house floral purchases cease. Women want flowers but women don't want to pay for flowers, or be the cause of any member of her household paying for flowers. Flowers are purchased and sent by women for serious hospital visits and a few other "events" and the flowers are usually sent by women to other women. Do women want flowers? Would we be just as happy if our men set fire to $20 bills because buying flowers makes almost as much sense?
Women do not want flowers! The sports dude was wrong (if not well compensated). Men, if you're burning money on flowers you could "invest" in jewelry! Even tacky jewelry shows you care! Care enough to get out of your car and select anything at the jewelers and pay for it! We'll treasure that piece of velvet boxed crap forever! Get the kids involved! Blaming a child for an awful Valentine's Day jewelry selection is a tradition as old as St. Valentine's Day! An American Tradition! Better yet, let us preselect something we like and you guys go in and pay for it! Cause that's thoughtful! That shows you care! And believe me, jewelry is all we're thinking about when we're looking at those stupid flowers!
If this is a question in your life you either have way too much money or no brains or both (in that eventuality e-mail me immediately!) and you should stop and reflect. Hopefully, I've answered that question (No flowers for Valentine's Day! Ever!) and we all can move on! Remember; flowers=BAD jewelry=GOOD, ALWAYS GOOD, CAN'T SCREW IT UP-GOOD! Glad I could answer that for you! Happy Valentine's Day!
