I get this, DDaisy--won't surprise you probably. Most holidays are commercial, marketing is manipulative, emotional manipulation is the easiest/fastest way for those greedy corporations out there to get your money (you bought those cute cookies, right?).

And I'm not happy that you're so good at that happy face. That any of us are.

I think it's great to remember events like anniversaries, etc. But saying I'm going to celebrate "loving you" on this day. The rest? Well, you know I do, do I have to keep telling you? Yeah, maybe so, maybe youncould echo it, show it, live it ...

IDK. I know it tends to be a theme of mind sometimes, but before there were people thinking of TV ads...

Back when everyone could be different without being MI, we could just say, "Treat me different," & that was okay.

Hey, Daisy.thanks for being my friend!
