Very nice. You are a good daughter.kayrharris wrote:
I sent my 90 year old mother flowers that came with a small box of chocolates. She's impossible to buy for, doesn't get out much and is lonesome, so she's the only one I do anything for on Valentine's Day.
They look like works of art!PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:My hubby actually went to a store and bought me Godiva "G" chocolates and roses.
The chocolates are elegant and beautiful and I almost don't want to eat them because they are so perfect.
He also bought chocolates and flowers for the girls. That was really sweet of him.

Good for you!Jeemie wrote:Yes- my wife and I gave ourselves a present- we went to the travel agent and booked ourselves a 15th-Anniversary trip to Aruba- at the same resort where we spent our honeymoon.
We will leave the first week of May, so it will be EXACTLY 15 years after we first went that we're going again.
It's great when a plan works out! We had said to ourselves when we left that we would come back 15 years later, and now we're actually going to do it!
It's also not humid. And pretty much everybody on the island is making a decent living- no racking poverty like on some islands. And people are just nice there.peacock2121 wrote:Good for you!Jeemie wrote:Yes- my wife and I gave ourselves a present- we went to the travel agent and booked ourselves a 15th-Anniversary trip to Aruba- at the same resort where we spent our honeymoon.

I am also glad that Aruba will get some of your money.
I have only been there once and I loved every minute of it.
Casinos and beaches - what else can one want?

a) It's actually the smallest of the ABC islands. We drove around the entire thing in a couple of hours.minimetoo26 wrote:All. It's a big island.
They haven't found Natalee Holloway yet. Maybe we could "lose" a few folks......?
Well- of course they would, being as you've carved "Bite Me!" into your leg and all!!peacock2121 wrote:Yeah, but all the cops would do is read this bored and I would be the leading suspect.
They would like me, all right.
Not once she met her.I'd smuggle you in my suitcase, but my wife might object
That's cool. I hadn't thought about that being part of codebreaking, before.nitrah55 wrote: In case I never told this story, my mom was in the Navy in WWII, stationed in DC. She was a meteorologist in a unit that was trying to crack the Japanese code. Why a meteorologist? Because when the Japanese occupied a given island, and radioed to other islands, one thing they would likely include was the local weather. My mom's unit was assigned to figuring out what the weather was on occupied islands, so the code guys could take the weather info and see if it matched any intercepted signals.
And that's very cool!nitrah55 wrote: We were talking about it the other day, and she told me one of the tough parts was, when people asked about what she was doing in the Navy, she had to say, "I'm not allowed to talk about it."
My mom, the spy.
