OkCupid

Tell that to the greeting card companies.

Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me!

So it should be celebrated year round?

The flowers can still be used on/for a very special valentine this weekend – your mom.

If you had just put on a winter coat instead of that stupid diaper…

I like it in Feb, snuggling in front of a fireplace, sipping your drink of choice, then having one of your pack come up and place a cold wet nose on your feet telling you they need to go outside . Yip yip yip yip yip

In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove;

In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.

Tennyson, “Locksley Hall”

I thought spring was when a young man’s thoughts turn to baseball?

Not in New Zealand diaper boy. Take your bow and go.

He’s not wrong. But Valentine’s Day was named after St. Valentine who was martyred on February 14th for standing up to Emperor Claudius’s ban on marriage.

That outfit doesn’t protect well against the elements, especially in February.

It requires minimal clothing which I’m best suited!

Also would be a bit warmer for Cupid .. :)

What are you talking about? You can’t move Valentine’s Day to May!! This is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, June 1 is First Day of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Oh, and we can’t forget about May 4th Star Wars Day. Then there is May 23 National Drinking with Chickens Day? May 21 National Strawberries and Cream Day. May 17th The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia? May 6th also marks International No Diet Day, National Nurses Day, and National Tourist Appreciation Day. May already has enough! Stop!!

He uses any excuse to shoot his Eros.

In the US August is the only month that does not have any “official” holidays

He’s got a point. Shoot those arrows at the kids giving things to their moms.

Hey! You can’t just go around changing the arbitrarily assigned birthdays of saints! that’s for the church to do!

Me thinks that Cupid considers his work done well if motherhood is the result so he can do his victory dance or barrel roll, whatever. ;-p

Definitely nicer weather……

Also a more appropriate time for Christmas.

Little arrows in your clothing, little arrows in your hair. When you’re in love you’ll find those little arrows everywhere….

Would be warmer and wouldn’t have to bundle up so much. Although you might have to explain that to St. Valentine who was executed on Feb 14th.
