Glowing
Give her some glowing tubes.
Start with el34's and work her up to 300B's
(I always sell it that the rest of the year is valentine's day, so lets not join the crowd)

Dinner at the local semi snooty French restaurant. (Needed reservations 2 weeks ago) The obligatory Valentines card. My Father already sent a box of chocolate, so for a gift, Im giving her a wireless mouse with built in laser pointer. (She teaches graduate finance classes and uses a lot of MS Power Point in lectures)
Greatest girfriend in the world
Man i had it sweet yesterday. My g/f decided that she just wanted to boycot valentines day because it was a stupid, money grabing holiday. Needless to say i didn't disagree.
I thought it was a trick and that she was gonna be pissed of today if i hadn't got her anything but so far i'm in the clear. Man this is awesome.
Now if i could on work on birthdays and christmas, i'd have a lot more money to spend on my HT

it's no longer "St. Valentine's" Day -- the poor saint has been defrocked due to lack of adequate historical information, and thus joins St. Christopher and St. Philomena on the ash-heap of sanctity.

Better hang with your mates who juggle 600v Capacitors.
Way safer.

Speaking from experiance are we?
Sounds like your speaking from experiance?
And yes, I think your right...playing with 600 volts is far safer than juggling a women...at least you know what can happen with voltage when you handle it.

Re: btw
What happened to St. Christopher? Did he not prove his worth thereby letting somebody roll the Popemobile?jackinnj said:it's no longer "St. Valentine's" Day -- the poor saint has been defrocked due to lack of adequate historical information, and thus joins St. Christopher and St. Philomena on the ash-heap of sanctity.
