"Islamic morality police in Malaysia have arrested more than 80 Muslims in an operation to stop them celebrating Valentine's Day."

Hi! I mentioned my "happy marriage" because some single people DO have the idea that Valentine's Day is not meant for them. I'm glad to hear it's more the commercial aspect that was originally being made fun of. Of course, love should be for everybody! I send my single friends cards because I am concerned that they will feel left out if they don't get remembered on this day. Granted, maybe they have bought (and me, too) into the commercialism, but nevertheless...

Everyone needs love. I don't view Valentine's day as a "commercial" holiday nor as something only for married people or romantic couples in general. It's about love! And everyone needs love. When I give love to other people I feel good. And of course I like delicious candy. But that's a 365 day a year thing.
Thanks for this!

Ah well, as a knitter and a spinner, I LOVE sheep, and bought a big box of heart shaped chocolate for my three guys and a bunch of roses for my guy (which broke a stereotype and made him happy). So, I don't feel too badly about it, even if it is cliched. We don't usually make a big deal about it, but this year we have all been sick and he has been kind of discouraged. This lift was needed. HUGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSS! BÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄH!
Thanks for this!

Hey, it's Sweden! The sheep here talk that way. It's pronounced "Beeeeehhhhhhh!" really nasally and I havn't been able to get them to open up for that lovely AH sound. Gotta go with what the local tallent gives you.
Thanks for this!
