@tinamarie1974 BTW, if the “D” in VD means Day, then you’re saying Happy Valentine’s Day Day when you wish people a Happy VD Day. It’s the same when people say they are going to deposit cash in the ATM Machine. That’s Automatic Teller Machine Machine.
@cengland0@werehatrack I honestly wonder. Usually I get a big smile and a “thank you” or something similar to what @cengland0 did. I usually just listen and walk away. Figure they might figure it out later
@tinamarie1974
Yep… Been there, done that. I toyed with several variations on the wording for this subject theme before I settled on this one.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Valentine’s Day. I just find it a shame that we have to have an artificial reason to be romantic on one day a year.
@chienfou this is my issue with the day and when I use to date why I would always tell my SO I didnt want to celebrate. Show me you care randomly throughout the year, not because the calendar tells you that you must.
@chienfou@tinamarie1974 Plus, it’s the WORST day to eat out; restaurants are booked solid, and they have stupid special menus that are extra expensive. We got the worst service I’ve ever experienced on Valentine’s night.
I might recommend seeing your doctor and getting some pills.
@jaybird
1.2 million units of bicillin IM will do the trick…
@jaybird I came here to say this.
@chienfou @jaybird
As a pharmacist friend used to say, he always knew when somebody was coming in for the one gram slam exactly what it was for
Oh, you must’ve meant Valentine’s Day. My mistake.
@jaybird Somone’s mistake.
@blaineg
@jaybird Funny cause I was going to say medicated ointment
Oh, I always wish people a Happy VD Day!!! Rarely do people realize what I am saying

@cengland0 true, but it is NOT. Try again
@cengland0 @tinamarie1974
Perhaps they have never encountered the term “venereal”. There are reportedly still places that forbid sex ed.
@cengland0 @tinamarie1974 What’s your PIN Number?
@blaineg Yes, PIN is another one of those. Working in the banking business for so long, I heard the ATM and PIN mistakes frequently.

@cengland0 @tinamarie1974 Automatic Teller Machine? Wow! I had that all wrong.

@cengland0 @tinamarie1974 @yakkoTDI
It’s actually Asynchronous Transfer Mode in my world.
@blaineg @cengland0 @tinamarie1974 @yakkoTDI But what do you call Automatic Teller Machine data going over Asynchronous Transfer Mode?
@tinamarie1974
@blaineg @cengland0 @mehcuda67 @tinamarie1974 @yakkoTDI
You mean it’s not an All The Money Machine?
@yakkoTDI I am deeply offended that you think the way I did.

Warning, heads may explode.
Well that didn’t take long to do south LOL.
@Kidsandliz
South should never be done fast, it deserves the time it takes.
@werehatrack meant to GO south. Oops.
What’s the rush? I have until November to decide.

ISWYDT… And I like it!
Did anyone not read that as Venereal Disease? Just curious?
@OnionSoup
for getting the point!
Bonus
Plans?
Will someone remind me to go chocolate shopping tomorrow?
@blaineg
When our kids were small they thought Valentine’s Day was on the 15th for that reason. Oh… And Easter fell on Monday.
@blaineg
It’s officially “tomorrow”, go chocolate shopping. (You’ll be too late, the stuff got marked down yesterday morning.)
Get to a doctor before my “schmeckel” falls off. Oh that VD. Nevermind.
A friend of mine died on February 13, 1992, and I was the one who found him the next day. So no… I don’t really celebrate this Hallmark holiday.
@haydesigner
I have a similar issue with Thanksgiving.
@haydesigner @werehatrack
Sorry for your losses… Deaths around holidays are particularly painful…
I ended up doing a video call date with the boyfriend, who lives in the UK. I built the LEGO Minecraft ‘Fox Lodge’ set for him.
