I literally do not give a rip about Valentine's Day.

It’s just a Tuesday. I suppose saying “Happy Valentine’s Day” is sort of required, but cards are cheap and meaningless, flowers are expensive and don’t last long, chocolate makes me gain weight, and restaurants are crowded. I truly do not think I’d be mad if a guy said, “Happy Valentine’s Day. Let’s order a pizza and do nothing.”

I share much of your enthusiasm for this holiday . . .

. . . but having kids, particularly during the elementary school years, makes it a bigger deal. Valentine’s Day at our house typically involves flowers for Mrs. DG, a set of spring break clothes for the kids from their grandparents, cross-exchange of cards, and lots of chocolate (most of which my now-teenage sons wolf down before I even have temptation to resist). We also will have a family dinner for four at some point.

There are some good lessons to be learned from the school Valentine exchange.

And it will be easier next year as his handwriting improves. (Good job, though, to get through the whole list as a kindergartner!) You hit on a couple of them. Devil Mom always made a “mailbox” in the middle of her classroom and then taught the kids how to sort all the Valentines and deliver them.

Yep, it was a good lesson. I think that's when we all learn about "how would it make you feel if XX gave one to everyone else, but not you?"

It was interesting to listen to.

But MY GOD, I wish parents would use it to teach, rather than a referendum on how much they can do for their kid to be popular. Our son gave out Phineas and Ferb valentines with pencils. IE said that some parents were practically backing in trucks of cupcakes and candy and stuff. We’ll get his valentines and see that 95% of them were all done by the moms. What’s the learning point of that? That mom will do it all.

I’m not going to buy it for other people’s brats, because I resent them giving it to my ADHD son. My bigger point, however, is that rather than it being a competition between the mom’s of the neighborhood, it SHOULD be an event to teach kids social conventions and other lessons.

I suppose cards are a generational thing.

My in-laws and my mom both really appreciate them, I’m fairly indifferent, and I’d guess my kids might never buy one again (except for their grandparents) after they move out of the house.

I guess I understand cards as a convenient vehicle for birthday cash for a recipient who lives far away.

I don’t do cards for my family members who live in town, though. I take them to dinner and spend actual time with them, and get them a gift. A card is something you read and throw away immediately.

I've said this before here, but we celebrate Japanese style

IE gets me a small piece of chocolate on V-day, when Japanese women give chocolate to the men in their lives. On White Day, March 14th, I’ll get her a card and something. We do this because it’s a convenient way for me to avoid doing anything on V Day, which I hate, but still get to celebrate, which she likes.

We don’t really get worked up over any holidays or birthdays as it is, so it works for us.

If your wife/girlfriend is fascinated with the Bachelor (just randomly picking something), you’re not going to try to have any serious discussion during the finale.

Counterpoint: There was never any indication that this game was especially important to him - only that the game was important than his date with his S.O.

For those of us who enjoy multiple sports, there is always a reason not to go out on a date with our signficant other because a plausibly entertaining game will be on television. This would justifiably make our S.O.’s upset, and they deserve at least one night of our undivided attention.

I disagree with you here.

While I appreciate your analogy to the Bachelor, it doesn’t ring totally true for me because that show only airs once a week (I believe). That means I have to give her that one night to ‘have her thing’ and not bother her while it’s on. There is a nationally televised sporting even on every night.

It’s totally appropriate for someone to appreciate lots of sports and want to watch them everynight, but that doesn’t mean he/she shouldn’t have a S.O. It means he should learn to balance priorities and respond to other people’s needs – and at the very least, do this one night a week.

Warning: rational female discourse ahead.

If it’s an important game, they shouldn’t plan to go out that night. If it’s not “his team,” or it’s one of 162 fucking baseball games in a season, or whatever, he shouldn’t expect to be able to watch every single game he’s mildly interested in, because life does not work that way unless you are single and live in your mom’s basement.

He's about 11 months.

There are only ~750 purebred Norwich puppies born in the US each year, and it’s like pulling teeth to get a breeder to sell you one. We had to outcompete three other families that wanted the dog, and part of doing so was to offer the breeder the option to show him if she chooses to. He goes to “classes” every few weeks, and he’ll probably get a trial show locally some time this spring.

Gotcha.

The Cake is the only purebred dog we’ve ever had, and while we got her from someone who breeds dogs with the expectation that one or some of the puppies will be show-quality, ours is strictly a pet. I honestly wish that breeders would be a bit more forthright about exactly WHY certain puppies are or aren’t show quality. As a horse person, I have a pretty good understanding of conformation generally, so I’d love to learn what characteristics actually make one a good show animal, and get a comparison between different dogs.

That's what makes it such a fun question

It’s like the saying, I think a British Prime Minister came up with it, that you judge a man not by his virtues, but by his vices; which he has and which he deems acceptable. People will fake virtues, but they’ll never fake a vice.
Similarly, if you ask someone their favorite hero, well, that’s aspirational and an opportunity for them to blow smoke up your ass. Villains and antiheros, on the other hand? It’s a smorgasboard of evil and vice laid out in front of you. You have to pick something bad, so you pick the one you think is least bad or most like you.
Hence, we see traders/finance guys going with Gekko/Bateman, our friend above going with Pechorin, a psychotic chick I once knew picking the female lead from Natural Born Killers, etc.

Here's the thing

It’s directed by Peter Berg, who makes more good movies than bad, written by the people that wrote Red, which I thoroughly enjoy, and stars Liam Neeson and Alexsander Skaarsgard who was awesome in Generation Kill.

It looks to me that it’s a movie that was created and then the studio decided to use the “Battleship” game to help sell it.

Judging the pace of play based on SOG is misguided at best

You realize it doesn’t count as a shot if it doesn’t get saved or go in the net, right? I’m not watching the game, so I can’t tell you if they’re packing it in or not, but using shots on goal as a measure is not the best way to do it.

SJ: I'm going to be taking the bar in GA and applying to federal/military jobs or private practice firms down there.

OCS lady: You should join the Nassau County (NY) Bar association or the NY State bar association to network.

Granted, she has been quite helpful in other areas and is extremely nice/thoughtful in other areas, but that’s a frustrating exchange up there.

Not really a huge prime rib fan

Dont really get the appeal. Why order that when you can just get a ribeye?

Great mix of flavor and texture.

Very flavorful since it's a pretty fatty cut of meat.

Good prime rib is a different texture than most steaks too. And super rare.
