Here in Sydney, some people are religious, but most of them usually go straight to church after being in the pubs all night. They dont even bother to go home ;D.

Having said that, I'm one of those who doesn't really get the idea of the celebration, even when in a relationship. I have a friend who's having her first Valentine's Day with her boyfriend and she went WAY overboard buying him heaps of presents ... honestly, I think it's a little weird when it really is just another day!!

Some of us don't enjoy this "holiday" for reasons of our own. Let us celebrate or not as we see fit. I started this topic on purpose so as not to ruin your Happy Vallentines day topic, please do me the same curtousey.

And WD, I am working on the moving thing, I have Resumes all over Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. I am trying to stick to the south east as I am a news photog, and the blizards suck when you have to stand in them all day trying to get all of you equipment working. I know that they have Hurricanes in FL. Oohhh, 95 degrees with some wind and rain. Bring it!. But before I go I am thinking about doind a pictomentary about Appalachia for you guys enjoyment.

Originally Posted By dshyates I sit with my keyboard in my lap while sitting in a recliner. Not the ideal position for typing, but perfect for surfing.

I hit the keys, but not hard enough, and I spell phonetically while typing then fix it when I proof. If I don't proof, some of the spellings are laughable.

Originally Posted By DyGDisney I don't like holiday commercialism either. My sweet girls made us home-made cards and taped some of their own candy on them, things they know we'd like.

I made 20 homemade personalized cards for each child in the class. That's what the holiday is for me. The kids, not Hallmark or Zales Jewelers. Oh, and the sugar cookies

If I haven't been nice to you, it's because my friends and I are trying to inject a little irreverent fun back into these boards and you come into the topics we create and try to completely change the tone and suck all the fun out of them. I'm sorry if I came off and come off mean. But you have been doing your level best to ruin these boards for me. These boards I called my Internet home for the last few years. Clearly we don't get along, how about this... we ingnore each other *completely*. You can post in my topics if you keep it short, sweet and to the point responding to one of your friends and I'll do the same, as I did in your topic. If you are unable to keep to this bargain than you will reveal yourself as an Internet Troll, and nice guys like you claim to be don't act like that.
