Bill,<P>You are so very nice!!!<P>This is a wonderful gesture to reinforce to Robin that PlanB is not about being punitive, but about protecting yourself and your feelings.<P>I like this idea....!!<P>Desiree<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

Bill,<BR>I think that is wonderful. Very sweet, and a great way to show her you care.<P>Alex,<BR>Feel free to post your ideas... we'll give you our opinions!<P>Personally, I'm going to buy a BIG box of chocolates, an even Bigger bottle of wine, and rent a good sappy movie. I'm used to spending V-day alone, but this year, I'm going to spend it With MYSELF, not alone! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] I'm developing a postive outlook again!<P>Anyhoo... that's my 2 cents worth!<BR>B<P>------------------<BR>There are deep sorrows and killing cares in life, but the encouragement and love of friends were given us to make all difficulties bearable. <BR>-- John Oliver Holmes<P>The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.<BR>-- Elie Wiesel<P><BR>

Bill,<P>That sounds like a very sweet thing to do. And I pray that your lovely comes to her senses and realizes that she is missing out on being with a wonderful person who loves her so very much. <P>I am praying that this happens for you.

Bill,<P>I think its a great idea.<P>For V-day, I've decided to send my wife 22<BR>long stem red roses to her work on Friday (11th), each individually tagged with numbers 1 - 22. The numbers represent each year of her life before we met that we missed valentines day together.<P>She then goes on a bus. trip on Sat. - Wed.,<BR>so when she arrives on Sat. the Hotel will have the 23rd rose on her pillow, also numbered, with a card representing the first valentines YEAR we spent together. Finally, on Valentines Day itself, when she arrives to her hotel in the evening, the final 24th numbered rose will be on her pillow with beautiful card that says on the outside "I Love You", and on the inside "It's as simple as that".<P>I have no Idea what this will do to or for her, but it tells her that I love her - something I know she's longing to hear because I haven't said it in a long time, and she nearly lynched me when she thought I had said it but hadn't.<P>Again, great idea Bill.<P>SamH
