We all receive tons of email forwards. I've been receiving them since 1997. So much so, that I have received some of them several scores of times, although I do not have hard data to back up that claim. Hence this blog.
Well, alright...not everything here was received as a forward. Some are gems that I have painstakingly collected over time

Valentine Day Cards

You drive me batty

I may not be handsome, but I am yours (it's just a passing phase)


Love is such an effort these days

I love you to death

I'd still love you when you are old and crusty

My place or yours?

Who says romance isn't dead?

You are mine, you tasty little minx

I've chosen you to be my valentine. You don't have to look so miserable

Before you decline my offer to be your valentine, I think you should know that I don't handle rejection well

Be my valentine or die

Be my valentine or die
