As valentines day approaches i started thinking about some of my romantic failures & I thought Im probably not the only one who has got it wrong on occasion .
After being told I haven't been very romantic lately I thought I would try to fix that .
So I got up early & cut a bunch of roses & carefully removed all the thorns left them on the pillow .
When the phone rang when I was at work i actually felt a little anticipation of her thanking me .
But what i got was You f& c the beds full of aphids & i just washed the sheets yesterday now Ive got to wash them again .
All I managed to say to the hung up phone was its the thought that counts .

I feel your pain actiomax. I think this about sums things up for me at times

A Short Story

One day,a long long time ago,
there was a woman who didn't whine,bitch or complain,
but it was a long time ago and it was just for that one day.
The End

Its looking windy here.

(PS for Loto - thought I was the only one who posted really old stuff that was online like 3 years ago...?)

Well, a long time ago when she finished her PHD I offered her a old small book called "My careers goes bing"…
I guess it wasn't like the big bang I thought it meant...

A long time ago when I was married to my first wife, for Valentines Day I bought her a new electric razor for her legs. She looked at me, then her legs, then back at me, and then slapped me. What did I do wrong, she needed one? It's not like I bought her a set of jumper cables for her car battery which kept dying.

I got one of my ex's a sandwich maker for her birthday, it didn't go down to well

Never call a woman fat because elephants never forget.

Can not blame ye daughter - personal responsibility !! If in doubt always go the size too small - she will quietly thank you for it

Ok took her to 50 shades of grey. Then 4 course al a cart dinner. The local went all out guest chef food was fantastic service fantastic .
But because there was only 1 other couple there the number of waitresses equaled the customers & plus the extra chefs I cant help but feel that would have been a massive economic loss so I think it might be classed as a romantic failure.
Did come home thinking the house was on fire but my 11yr old had set up fog machine and mirror balls & lights in our bedroom rose petals on the bed & wine glasses full of wild turkey on side tables he also put funky town on . I thought it was so cute . As I said maybe not so much fog everyone has to evacuate the house next time . .

I think most men and women have different ideas of romance. Sometimes romance can be something so small like he picks up your favourite food at the supermarket without being asked, or just a text when your at work to say hey hope your having a good day.

My ex thought a good example of romance was him buying me a blender so that I could make him smoothies....lol!

I spent almost $100 on my wife and I'll I got was a small box of chocolates. Faark!

Did you get a juicy fruit

When's Valentines Day ?????
