		<description>Yeah...I changed my settings and was still having the problem.  The world is missing out on words of wisdom that will change the very fabric of existence for our generation and generations to come, as as alas, the legendary prose are capriciously erased from space/time by your impish web site.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m going to have talk to the blog gurus on that one. I think it&#039;s my blog refreshing, not your computer. &gt;:-(</description>

		<description>So, I&#039;m really beginning to get cross with your blog.  Every time I&#039;m on a roll, saying something really profound, something that will effect future generations and change the way people around the world interact...your page reloads.  (On the off chance that it MIGHT be my computer, I adjusted my own tab settings...so we shall see....) 

Anyway, the general gist of my comment was that, while presents are fine and good, and chocolate is undeniably delicious, what I really remember from coupled-up Valentine&#039;s days past is the stuff we did, not the stuff I got.  So instead of stressing over a cliched gift, plan a secret midnight picnic, or get dressed to the nines and spend an afternoon walking hand-in-hand through your favorite small town, window-shopping and having one milkshake with two straws for lunch.  Go to a restaurant you have both always wanted to try, sit in a coffee shop and people-watch for hours while sipping mochas and writing a poem together.  Hike to a secluded spot in the woods to enjoy the beauty of nature.  Because spending time together is really what Valentine&#039;s day is about...well, spending time together and a dead saint.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m giving my husband the perfect gift: He doesn&#039;t have to buy me anything. No flowers, no cards, no candy (unless he really, really wants to give me candy). He stresses so much over gift shopping that I thought I&#039;d give him something he&#039;d really love... the freedom of not having to buy anything. Of course, that means I don&#039;t have to buy anything either. It&#039;s a win-win.</description>

		<description>Coming home to a neatly folded pile of clean laundry was such a simple but wonderful gesture.   To
make it easy for you. A box of sees dark chocolates with nuts no soft centers-even though I know you like them, would suit me just fine. I&#039;m sure I could thinks of several gifts that would bring a smile to
my face.  But I&#039;ll let you come up with something creative as long as it doesn&#039;t include bath products :).  I love you!!!</description>
