I know this is way early, since Sweetest Day isn't till the 20th, but I don't know if I'll be around then so I'm gonna go ahead and post this now. Smile

For those that don't know, Sweetest Day is kind of like Valentine's around were I'm at..it's a day were you give a small something to all those you care about. (Yet, they also say it was made up by several candy companies to sell more product...oh well, still a nice thought Mr. Green

)

So, may I wish all the ladies here a very lovely Sweetest Day.

And....aw heck.....to all the guys....Hey, first round's on me, fellas!

Y'all take care!

I'll take a rose, if it's all the same to you.

Thanks for the roses, I didn't know that festivity!
Surprised

Of what place is the tradition?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Feb 2007 Posts: 612

Mostly in the Northeast, the Great Lakes, region of the US. Its only been observed for about 90 years. Its to show appreciation to those that have shown one kindness over the year.

To answer your question, Xeb....its kinda personal. I'd rather not discuss it right now, maybe at a later time. Thanks for the concern though. Smile

No worries Mr.Wolf. Don't forget you have the PleasureBonBon right to keep your buisness discreet and unknown.

However, my friend, who things Sweetest Day is bull since theres already Valentine's Day, felt the need to invent his own holiday: Beer, Breasts, and Meat Day! Which is just like Sweetest Day, only its for men. XD

I am most appreciative of ya'lls concern Smile

I know, Labrn.Many 'round here feel the same about it, that it's just silly. As for me....I just like any excuse to give gifts Very Happy

*Chuckles and smiles* Thank you for the flowers. I can't say I've heard of the holiday before, though. Very Happy

Your welcome, and I'm not surprised. I never heard of it, till I moved from virginia to here in wiscosin.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 21 Aug 2007 Posts: 836

yeah they don't celebrate it where i'm from

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 27 Jul 2005 Posts: 2568

Geez, I gues were just about the only ones who know/celebrate it eh Brandon?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Feb 2007 Posts: 612

So It would seem, my friend. Oh, well, its still interesting to share one's local color with others Smile

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 07 Sep 2006 Posts: 1000

Odd. I'm in Virginia myself at the moment. The local color around here is mostly orange and maroon. I've picked up a drawl, too. Razz

How is it up there in the frozen land of cheese, Brandon?

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Feb 2007 Posts: 612

Cold....tornadoes.....just the usual. lol

I envy you, Kommy..I miss being back home. I'm a southern boy, born and raised, and even my own accent is starting to fade around here! Laughing

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 21 Aug 2007 Posts: 836

well it was a chilly 80 degrees today over here on the west coast... i miss the snow sometimes though

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 15 Feb 2007 Posts: 4668

I must have missed something. I'm on the west coast myself and it was certainly not 80 degrees today. Nor has it been 80 degrees in some time.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Feb 2007 Posts: 612

Hasn't been 80 around here since June! lol

Actually...its gotten to the point where I prefer the cold, the ice and snow, to the heat of summer. Love the winter hiking, ice fishing, snowboarding. Yet, I think the main reason I prefer winter cold....well.....it does make for very nice cuddling weather. A roaring fire, a warm blanket, and someone special to share it with....~sigh~......ahem, well...just my thoughts Wink

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 15 Feb 2007 Posts: 4668

I defy someone, anyone, to argue.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 21 Aug 2007 Posts: 836

can't... there is no arguing with such logic

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 27 Jul 2005 Posts: 2568

The weather is fine here in Illinois, during the day, but then it gets chilly at night, so I have perfect cuddling weather too! The days are warm and bright enough (other than these rainy days we keep having Confused

) to go out and hike the trails and spend sometime in the fresh air. Then as night begins to fall, one can move to the warmth of the house and share it with good company.

Then again, just about any weather is nice to me now-a-days. Having been through a deployment, the weather barely bothers me. I still find myself wearing shorts in the mid 50s outside. Laughing

you think you could send some of that rain my way? we could really use it right about now

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 14 Aug 2006 Posts: 731

Well,I can tell you that here in Mass. it is unseasonably warm! Seeing 80 degree days this late in Oct. is very unusual.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 21 Aug 2007 Posts: 836

i mean cmon half the state seems to be on fire... great time to be roasting marshmallows though

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 28 Mar 2007 Posts: 2112

It's been unseasonably warm here in Virginia. Well, at least in Northern Virginia. I do miss the Rhode Island weather though. I don't know why though, I haven't lived there in years.

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 12 Feb 2007 Posts: 612

Ah, another fellow Virginian. Very kewl!

Yes I heard about the warm weather from my folks, who still live there, near Blacksburg. Around there its been in the 60's they say.

I have been to Rhode Island, many years ago. Beautiful buildings and landscapes! Very friendly poeple too.
