    Re: Roland Martin: Valentine's Day is a fraud (John Br.)

    Only thing I have to do for my wife on V day is make sure the hot tube is working and the mix drink is stiff and cooled. She works at a flower shop so flowers and gifts mean pretty much nothing to her. Yesterday she went to work at 8am and got home at 10:30pm with pretty much no break to speak of and today is the same but tomorrow night..... since most people want there stuff delivered to there loved ones at work Friday.... she will go to work around 7am and will hopefully be home by 2am the next morning and then have to be back in there at 7am again. Mothers day is pretty much the same but not as bad but close. She has done this for 12 years and it is the same every year.... I actually feel sorry for her this time of year.

    It's pretty bad when big holidays to most don't mean as much to her because of her job. Christmas isn't as exciting as it once was because she has to work nearly everyday for 2 months before then and by the time Christmas arrives she is just plum wore out.

    Steve..................V-day has been nothing but HYPE for decades......every year it gets worse & worse.....just like Christmas......or in this case.......x-mas

    It seems that V-day is nothing but another way for companies ot make MILLIONS off peddly crap that really does not mean anything.


    besides.........if you need to give your special someone anything......it should come from the heart.....not a store.


    that why I slap mine on the azz & say........."!@#$%^&*"......and I mean it from the heart

    My mom used to own a flowershop and everything you said is spot on. I used to help out for two holidays a year and she made about 2/3rd of her yearly sales for those 2 holidays. It is a miserable time of year for those in the industry. My dad got away cheap on Valentines day. He had to bring her pizza for valentines day to the flower shop and not bug her when she got home. I got to skip school every year and deliver flowers.
