Wtf? I'm going to invent Give Your Husband a BJ Day so I can act all indignant and shitty all day when nothing happens. Yes, I didn't get my wife anything for "Sweetest Day" so she was crabby all day. Never mind the show we went to last night just for her, or trying to take care of her being sick this week... Bullshit holidays. I don't have all fucking day to go shopping while my son is in school and my spouse is at work ... Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | ||

It's a holiday every bit as real as Valentine's Day. There is a website and they even have a judge to give rulings on March 14th etiquette.

At first I was like "What the hell is he talking about with this "Sweetest Day" thing? Then I looked it up and didn't feel so bad. It's a Midwest thing. We Southerners aren't burdened by it.

Never heard of this BS, either. 2/14 is enough of that type of crap. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

Would it be that hard to just buy her some chocolate? You may even get a BJ out of it. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

You missed my point. I forgot about it, and even if I had remembered when was I supposed to do that? Been gone for a month travelling to Mexico and Michigan, and the few days I've been home have been very busy. The night before we all went to a Haloween show and had a nice family outing, this was after my son's Tae Kwon Do class and after my wife's Dr. appt which was after work. I just don't think I deserve the attitude for missing a made up stupid holiday. Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day | |||

You'd better start programming every occasion that's important to your wife into your smartphone calendar.

FWIW, Wikipedia only lists 10 states that have adopted Sweetest Day and the OP doesn't live in one of them. I'm on your side on this faux holiday, but the can't buy chocolate or flowers argument is like jumping off a cliff and building wings on the way down. For example, you were on Sigforum the entire month which makes it hard to say you could not have bought flowers or chocolate on-line.

I really do love my wife the "oops" thread above notwithstanding. One of the reasons is she completely ignores virtually all holidays. Yes, even Christmas. A few cards, some with a couple of bucks tucked in them for grandkids, and that's it. We don't do each other's birthday, we ignore Valentine's Day, never even heard of this "Sweetest" bullshit, mention our anniversary in passing: "Jesus, has it been 43 years already?". If she wants something, we get it, we don't wait for some artificial occasion. Same for me. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

"Hallmark" holiday created so high school and college students that have a different bf/gf each semester get to buy cards and flowers in the fall term and not just in the spring for Valentines day. | |||

I've never heard of this Sweetest Day and was wondering why you were mentioning Valentine's Day in October.  Makes me glad that bryan11 and I don't do gifts for holidays. SIGforum's triple minority "It can't rain all the time." - Eric Draven | |||

Aren’t they all bullshit hallmark holidays? You don’t need a hallmark day to sweet up the wife, or pay respect to your Father, Mother, etc. The worst is Christmas. It’s a day to celebrate Christ. Help a stranger, help someone in dire need. Nope, they’ll be on the road, stressed, driving like a-holes in their mass consumer product buying frenzy. What am I doing?
