    I think we may go to a class and learn something new together. I'd rather have an experience than gifts. :smile:

    I like that idea. Last year we went on a Manatee dive. It was awesome. But cold. Very very cold.

    Omg, did you pet the manatees?! I am unable to contain my thrills at the possibility of riding a manatee.

    You can't ride the manatees. That's legit one of the rules :laugh:

    But I did get to pet some. Two of them were babies. :love:
    Going to be a techincal dweeb here and def not coming down on you but I think the Marine Mammal Protection Act says you can't even touch them. I did the Manatee swim in Crystal River ages ago and saw heaps. But you're not supposed to interfere with them in any way.

    Hello Dear All, for some people, valentine day is important but others it is not. I will just want from my boyfriend to do the list I will give him on Feb 14th. In this list, just there are some behaviors of him to change. what are your expectations from that day?

    Oh.

    Meanwhile I'll be alone because military says screw your Valentine's day for the third year in a row. Life is clearly fair.

    MMM yes. Since my husband joined I've yet to see him on our anniversary - which happens to fall during the time of year they all get sent away on exercises.

    We have two anniversaries and he'll be out for both of them this year.
    I really hate to be a Debbie Downer here, but it can always be worse. My best friend's husband died in the USAF heli crash in England a few weeks ago. She'll be spending VD alone. Be proud of your husbands and the work they do, and be thankful that you still have them. I know you make sacrifices as military wives, and many of us really appreciate that. :heart:

    Actually pretty nice little Friday. We're going to Home Depot. Yeah buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed Bath and Beyond... I don't know! I don't know if we'll have enough time!

    This will be my 9th consecutive Valentine's Day alone. I will probably have some Dunkin' Donuts turkey/egg white wake up wraps for dinner, maybe add a little liquid Kool-Aid flavor to my water just to feel sassy and go to bed so I can be up at 8am for intervals the next morning.

    YAY!

    You can but only if they approach you. Which is why it was mostly the calves. We had to do a training thing before hand where they talked to us about the Marine Mammal Protection Act and how it pertained to our dive. It was at Crystal River.

    I am german and maybe I am not good to tell what I think. I didnt mean expecting him change completely because I love him. I am sure there is something you do not like on your gf or bf so talking always can solve some problems

    Anyone know how to say "really bad idea" in German?

    Let's invade Russia in winter!

    They don't want people harassing them, so they've got areas for them to go to get away from people. When we went a lot of them were in those areas because there was a loud group of boyscouts there right before us. :grumble:

    Anyway you can touch them but they have to approach you. And if they leave you can't chase them. Which . . . lol @ the idea of giving chase in those goofy flippers while balancing on a pool noodle. Manatees aren't fast but they're faster than me. :laugh:

    I don't know why, but your post reminded me to focus on how I can be a better person. V-DAY will be a little getaway with our doggies. The day will not focus on food as it has in the past, but it will focus on activity - hiking, biking, and exploring new terrain.:love:

    They're a protected species and that's part of the gig when they're listed as such. I know they look huge but they have a limited range and since they are slow moving are often killed or injured by larger sea craft.

    I actually know all of this about manatees, since I grew up in the panhandle... I'm just fangirling over manatees.

    Bad idea. I have been married almost 30 years. I have been with my husband for 32 and believe me he was not perfect back then and not now but for the most part they do not change but you can make them appreciate you more and do things for you with the right approach. They never respond to the blame approach. "If you would not be such a slob I would not be so tired from cleaning up the house. Versus "I really need your help. This house work is too much for me to do would you be so a babe and ....." They need praise too when they do it. I hate to say it but they are like lil boys or even dogs. Dogs are easier to train though.

    I expect sex. All kinds and lots of it.

    My BF took the day off work and we're going to spend it in bed. Yup. We actually planned a day in bed together.

    Oh, and dinner. We're going to dinner but then it'll be back home and to bed again.

    He wants to see if we can make it fall off :laugh:

    FYI... Dinner can mean a man delivering pizza to you... in bed. Trust me on this.

    Donuts.....I usually serve a dozen. While carrying juice in each hand.....

    I just spit water all over my monitor. Thank you.









    And thanks for the idea. :bigsmile:

    I do not recommend the list of behaviors for him to change.. Maybe you should sit down and have a talk tomorrow so that it's out of the way by the time the 14th comes around and you two can have a nice day together (:
    A day filled with yummy food, long massages, enjoying each other, and lots and lots of sex (: My guess is, he's not going to be in the mood to get in your panties after you tell him how much you can't stand him...just a thought (:

    ......just another example of how the beautiful and loving actions of a real historical figure are corrupted by capitalism and consumerism so not even the remotest resemblance of the real meaning remains.....
