I saw that ad on TV earlier and was saying the same thing to Mr Pipi.

He knows not to get me flowers for any occasion. Live plants, yes. Cut flowers, no. Freakin waste of money, IMO.

Candy. OK I am a Plus Size lady. I don't need candy.

And no giant stuffed bear that's going to take up room in a house that's already too small for necessary things.

I said to him, the only acceptable Valentines Day gift is jewelry.

Pretty sure he laughed at that point in my rant.

He then said, how about a Fisherman's Platter? Yep, fine with me, I said.

Then he asked what I'm getting him. My answer, a Fisherman's Platter, of course.

After 20 years of marriage, this is what it comes down to.
