Here's hoping all my readers survive Valentine's Day without too much strain on the old relationship. In a holiday where the observances have been decided by candy, flower, greeting card and jewelry corporations, it's hard to know what is enough to tell your sweetie that you love them. Questions fill our minds. Don't ask the companies for guidance because they will tell you no matter what you do that you haven't spent enough money to express your love. So you sort of have to wing it. Is this card too funny? Does it cost enough? Will this giant box of chocolates fit though the door? Is there financing available on these roses? If I buy jewelry, will she expect me to marry her? If I don't, will she want a divorce? Will my husband be okay with an 8-foot Teddy bear? These are tough calls, people!
Putting a price on love is hard when you're not dealing with prostitutes, who sort of have it down to a science, but using them as consultants on the matter always seems to lead to misunderstandings. Of course you could reject the whole phony notion, but that's a dicey proposition at this stage of the game. The advice here? Take your Sweetie to BadBob's BBQ joint in Oceanside, Long Island tonight to eat some delicious, sloppy food and hear some great music by Bob Crespo & The Big Spenders. It might not advance and enhance your relationship but at least you'll have a great time, and that's always a plus. It's hard to argue when your belly is full and the band is rocking. See the ad above for details and be there with your honey. Happy Valentine's Day.
