"I'll admit I may have seen better days,
but I'm still not to be had for the price of a cocktail,
"(Margo Channing)
Funny
A friend from Samaritans sent me a message tonight whilst I was on the phones
It said
"Valentine's day is hard for the newly single..I'm thinking of you!!!
Followed by this cartoon
I guess it was in fourth grade that I decided to hate Valentine's Day. I was in love with Bill Heavner, and was sure the card from him in my homemade box would bring out in me gads of hearts and flowers. My card from Bill was run-of-the-mill, but Donna Wright's was full of his promises of undying love. The 'special' card I got was a horrible homemade thing from Mike Young who professed his undying love. When all the cards were opened (and the sobs lying just beneath the surface were silenced), Mike got down on one knee and presented me with a birthstone ring (August....the ugliest ever!), and asked me to be his official girlfriend. Mike was a clumsy, mean-spirited kid who nobody liked, and they were all laughing at his 'proposal.' It was then I decided that Valentine's Day was not my cup of tea.
For years I was the only "Anna" in my class (or in my small school that I could think of). Then one term we had an American girl come to our school and her name was also Anna. One Valentine's Day Roddy W passed me a Valentine's card asking me to be his Valentine. I said no because I wasn't interested so he asked me if I would pass it to the other Anna! Aaahhhh young love!
LOL!!!!

ReplyDeleteMike sounds honest and brave especially at such a young age
DeleteI was the only kid who wasn't mean to him. He was a hateful boy but I knew some of his issues. At our 25th class reunion he thanked me.
DeleteLOL!!!
ReplyDeleteHa! Priceless.
ReplyDeleteOh btw my name is in one of those emails... ��
It is funny indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe dogs love you too.
ReplyDeletelol although in your case your dogs DO love you :)
ReplyDeleteOh that just made me laugh out loud, and I woke the dog up!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chuckle! Yes, you're loved and Winnie's expression says it all - and it's not "wanker"!
ReplyDeleteHugs and good night!
The dog probably hadn't been fed..... as soon as his tummy was full he would be full of love and even more after a walk !!!!!

ReplyDeleteHa ha. My favourite Valentine's day greeting:
ReplyDeleteRoses are red,
violets are blue,
I've got a knife,
get in the van.
That made me larf
DeleteThis might be my favorite Valentine's greeting ever in the whole world.
Deletethat's what my dogs think about my husband.
ReplyDeleteI heard Moose the Cat mutter “Gilipolla” yesterday.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteWe have this cartoon on the kitchen wall. We also have a very sweary one in the cloakroom that visitors think my husband chose...nope! x
ReplyDeleteTis' very funny. I can hear Rick thinking that.
ReplyDeleteI've always suspected this about dogs. At least cats don't pretend to hide their disdain.
ReplyDeleteLOL
