> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Fretful Porpentine \* > **A permanent end to crass commercialism, Hallmark holidays, and jewelry commercials** That would be nice. I think the only non-commercialized holiday would be Thanksgiving, and that’s only because it falls in (and is buried by) the “Christmas 1/4 of the year”. :mad: ---

Fingers are crossed 😃 \*\* Just thought I’d mention (if anybody was interested) that I did get my referral. Step 1, of the Want To Be Spayed manual has now been completed. Hope everyone else got what they wanted, whether they celebrate the day or not. 😃 ---

**Goo** - Congratulations! Are you getting regular spayed or Essured (to coin a verb)? ---

I’m going to be Essured 😃 ---

Today’s my due date, so I’d really like a baby. =) I’d settle for a Snickers bar, though. ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by me_ > Unfortuneately, I don’t really have much of a relationship thing going at the moment- more of a on-and-off-friends-with-benifits thing. We’re really just friends who can’t keep our hands off of each other when we’re alone. So I’m not expecting anything from him. I would really love it, however, if he sent me some flowers or something…but what I really want right now is to just spend some alone-time with him. This won’t get to happen anytime soon, though- but hey, a girl can dream! I didn’t get the flowers, but I did get the alone time. Granted, it was in his car (being a teenager and trying to have some “fun” can be a bit difficult with interfering, sometimes overprotective parents), but we did have some fun. We didn’t go all the way, but still had an enjoyable time, which was then followed by a discussion of politics! How many cute, sweet guys are there out there that also are intelligent? All in all, I had a wonderful time, and a wonderful Valentine’s day. ~monica ---

I got what I wanted at 4am today… She told me she loved me. That made me happier than I have been in a long time, regardless of which context of the word ‘love’ she was using. I couldn’t ask for anything more. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-you-want-for-valentines-day/154433.md?page=2)
