I remember when my son first started dating. He said he hated Valentine’s Day because every time it came around, he’d ask the current girlfriend what she wanted for Valentine’s Day, and each one would get mad at him for asking.
I told him that women love to be surprised, and that he should just think of something romantic.
But he said, “Look, I want to make her happy. I want to get her something she really wants or take her someplace she thinks is special. And she gets mad at me for that–for asking and not knowing?”
I had to say, I did see his point.

Left a message for you and Bito in Authors Cafe 1
I agree with your son, I would rather hint(specific lol) or have him ask. My husband never forgets, even if only a card. I am the forgetful one. My sister called us on our anniversary a few years ago in the evening, and we both had forgotten.

Sue, I went to Author’s Cafe but there was no cafe 1. Was it under an article in the Cafe? Now I am desperate to read it!

Actually it would not c&p over so I have to send in an email. The directions are in author’s cafe, second article from the bottom

Author’s Cafe 1. I have all the pugs highlighted for both of you. I am sure it is going to come in handy for many things.
Oh, that’s great, Sue. Thanks !!

He speaks for all of us. Imagine if we were to pick wrong… I mean, part of it is paying attention to her, listening and picking up hints, etc. But it really depends on where you are in your relationship. And sometimes, you ladies can be a little too cryptic. Also, I’ve tried this the other way around, and women are often no more suited at picking up our hints, so… c’mon. Help a guy out to help you.

Khirad — My ex boyfriend used to jokingly say: “How many times do I have to think it?”

Did everyone have a nice Valentine’s Day?
My husband made dinner – turkey and stuffing with baked sweet potatoes, and I baked a cake for him.
Sat outside on the patio reading and playing with the dog.

Nope, but although filmed in the 70′s or early eighties, this film took place in the late fifties, in the Catskills.

#2. Slumdog Millionaire. I’m guessing it might be that cheesy game show announcer.
I’m willing to take some hints!!
Report comment
This cheesy guy?
I was sorta dumbstruck at how few caught the obvious Bollywood elements in Slumdog (even though I can understand if most didn’t get the particular films Boyle was emulating). I almost jumped out of my seat for the end credits dance number – it would have just been wrong not to have one. A.R. Rahman seems to compose every other Bollywood film (and did Slumdog, but not this one).
Preity Zinta is always adorable, cute horns or no. I dig crazy/naughty girls though, too.
BTW, here’s Preity on the actual Indian version of Millionaire.
Oh, if only we were doing Bollywood trivia…

Oh– and you’re right. E’cat!!

My so-called brain? Gawd! I am so sorry–I really don’t confuse you, but Boomer wrote the post we are under, that’s how my brain works (or fails to.)

I’m the corny one, e’cat is the brilliant one. How your brain could ever confuse the two is way beyond boomer.
