Romance, cards, and "enough sugar to send a diabetic into shock," is that what Valentine's Day has come to be? (Let's not forget there's enough mushy specials to make the most stoic person gag.) Why do we need or have one day a year set aside to express love toward each other, even just toward our fellow humans?

Oh well, it's one of the five major shopping days I look forward to... sort of. Actually, it's more like February 15, July 5, November 1, December 26, and the day after Easter because, hey, that 50% off junk food isn't going to buy itself.

It was yummy

In the tummy

But call the doctor

'Cause now I ache.

No more candy

Will I take.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody. Here's to your dental and doctor's bills' not outweighing your income!
