  Pentacle five pointed star

  Star of David six pointed star or two triangles together.

  A five pointed star is one triangle and let's say a pyramid because let's say the ground doesn't count for one side. So almost cone shaped.

  I didn't know what a pentacle was, now I know!

  I like a Star of David better because it reminds me of Ziva on NCIS.

  Pentacles don't remind me of anything.

  Valentine's Day promotes false expectations. Maybe the men who get only a small token gift know that and hate it and then feel like why should I participate in something I hate? I don't blame them and some of them are hardly losers, they are just being true. True is good!

  Lobster can mean poison Haha! Too much lobster bottom feeder. I eat it. Is that why I'm dying? OMG

  1) - they CAN be poison, but it is OK if you binge and purge.

  2) - they ARE bottom feeders, but at least they can move around and pick their food (unlike oysters).

  3) - this is not the reason you are dying. The reason you are dying is that the snake gave your great-great-auntie Eve a pomegranite for Valentines day 6000 years ago - and she ate it and liked it.

  4) - yes, OMG.

  Lobster can spoil the lady's pretty outfit. Or it's in a casserole, but what fun is that?

  Ms. Drew - I think you may be overlooking the aesthetic value of the Pentagram star.

  Did you know that it is closely associated with the mathematical golden ratio - phi?

  It also plays a part in such life formations as the DNA spiral, rose petals, plant leaf taxonomy, and so on -

  (many Ferraris have pentagram shaped wheels)

  BTW - Lobster thermador can be very nice, but I prefer to see the lobster in its shell...I do sometimes have lobster ceviche salad for lunch.

  There's always the fall back gift: dick in a box.

  It never fails.

  Be YOUR own thoughtful boyfriend. Go out and buy yourself chocolate, flowers and perfume or whatever else you enjoy.

  Staying single prevents disappointment and heartache.

  I guess if you're judging people based on what kind of V-day gift they give... I'm the biggest loser of all.

  I hate Valentine's Day. An excuse for Hallmark, teddy bear companies and florists to stick it to poor schmucks who fall for their stupid marketing. And the damn restaurants are soooo crowded. Crowded with people who "have" to take their significant other out, clogging up the bars and dining rooms with their amateur dining out ways. I avoid restaurants on V-day.

  Next least favorite holiday: New Year's Eve. Bunch of amateurs out getting drunk, alerting the police to set up more patrols and roadblocks. Another day I stay home and away from the inexperienced drinkers.

  While I have embraced some holiday traditions that were once banned as a JW, I still avoid a good many based on my own principles. Just becaues I can do it, doesn't mean I want to do it....so I don't force myself to do something just because everyone else is doing it, or because it's expected.

  Okey dokey. My dad grew up fishing lobster. Let's get some facts straight.

  Yes, you can get poisoned if the lobster is dead before it is cooked. Ensure that the lobster you buy is fresh and ALIVE.

  Do NOT eat the head - there is a part of the brain (we call it the 'old lady in the rocking chair', as that is what it resembles) that should not be eaten.

  The green mushy stuff (tommaley) is edible, although I think it's just gross!

  Lobster roe (the red eggs) are a delicacy and usually enjoyed sauteed in butter.

  Last, lobster, like other shellfish, spoils easily. Eat lobster in a restaurant at your own risk! Do NOT take it on picnics unless it is in a chilled container. Only mix with mayo for sandwiches if you are going to eat them TODAY, and keep refrigerated until serving (as you would egg salad).

  Oh, and yes, they are bottom feeders, and no, they are not choosy. Lobsters are the 'seagulls of the sea', and eat all kinds of disgusting stuff, including dead flesh.

  I LOVE LOBSTER!

  Oh, and V-Day? A Hallmark Holiday, at best. I say, celebrate love EVERY day!!!!!

  Defeat the commercialism of V-Day by doing what I did. Buy discounted chocolate on the 15th.

  If you really love the idea of a special day for love,,, why not celebrate V-day in a non-commercial fashion. As some above have mentioned,,, cook dinner for the one you love, leave a romantic (or sexy) post-it note where s/he will least expect it, or take the day off and spend it having silly, immature (and mature ) fun together. You get my drift. Save the prezzies for B'days and Xmas.
