I have been single for six years and before that in a thoughtless marriage. Never have I been sent or given flowers at work or anywhere else, for my birthday OR V-day. This year I'm not single. I made little homemade cards for everyone, I got nothing. Only what I'll get NEXT year. At the end of the day, my guy says...Wasn't this the best Valentine's EVER? What an ass. I'm hurt to say the least. Thanks for the smile on Feb 15. I have been single for six years and before that in a thoughtless marriage.

Not sure if you've found anyone to take over the later shifts but, if not, I am in Europe and could help out. I was also thinking that since the whole blogging experience is "supranational" in nature, you might wanna keep that account active for longer, so as to be there for ppl on different time zones who may have stumbled onto this post...Just an idea... In any case, let me know if there's sth I can do:) Neil, your V-day idea is so thoughtful it hurts (probably not more than being single once more on the 14th, but still…)

I could write about how I’m helping (yay!) make someone feel nice (yay!) via Neil’s idea. I could write about it, but you can just read it for yourself here and here. He’s a thousand times better with words than I am and can explain it much, much more eloquently. Plus, he’s always a good read, so if you don’t know him yet you can use this opportunity to visit. You’ll be hooked. [...] [...] I could instead write about how Neil had a fantastic idea for Valentine’s Day and put it in gear.
