As for Valentine's Day and finding that "someone special one day", well maybe that is just as well and good.... Put it this way. Those little pesky arrows hurt so darn much... and in the ol' hip pocket too!
Enjoy your Valentine's day too...
Hope your hubby did something for you...
(... and hopefully he did buy you a decent bottle of bubbly )

Reason: Bottle. I forgot the bottle!!!!!!
Uh oh .. its today isn't it .. might have to go out back and pick some flowers if it stops raining .. this is not looking good for my aniversery on
march 3rd again if I'm forgetting dates already .
...perhaps this IS true on Valentines day...women nest whereas men are hunting and gathering, and the gifts are the bait for the hunt!!
Perhaps, yes. Yet when I was a kid, wasn't it general taught via the propaganda of the movies to be based on; heroic deeds of valour which win the lady's heart, followed by her helpless infatuation, and then ended either with virtuous rejection by the lady (unsaid) or the preverbal "happy ending" till death, then beyond. Forever? (Now.... wasn't this also written.... Mills and Boon or Gray's Men are from Mars, Woman are From Venus ? )
Also isn't it true that in some way; True "Romance" in be defined as attachment, fascination, or enthusiasm for something or someone.
SO quite logically in a real sense, isn't being romantically interested astronomy - being generally being swept gloriously away by the immensity and grandeur of it all, also true?
Ergo. Lovers and astronomers, celebrate on St. Valentine's Day, they should.

What do I think of computer dating? It's terrific if you're a computer.

Golly Gosh!! You can afford the TAX on the alcopops and afford astronomy at the same time! They must be paying you the big bickies at that ol' job of yours. For the rest of us in the economic times, it is either one of the other...
Most of us here are still paying for the second Nagler!!
(Perhaps that is why the Hallmark's are completely off the agenda for some!)

Guys, here's some help, and will probably just save you, too. Just tell her;
"A life without your love is like a year without starlight."
If that doesn't melt her like chocolate, then nothing will... and better still, you won't be telling little white fibs either! (the starlight, that is!)
Comment : Make sure she DOES KNOW you're into astronomy?
My "loved one" came over this afternoon with a Valentines present for me - a HUGE astronomy book, when I say HUGE I mean the book is HUGE, I'll take a photo sometime tomorrow when I'm home again to show you just how big. It's mostly a picture book full of Hubble images, many I'd seen before of course, but many I haven't. It's simply titled "The Universe" and I've never seem a book with such BIG pages - 160 of them.
When closed this book overlaps all 4 sides of her small "TV dinner/hobby table", once opened the 2 pages side by side are virtually poster sized, and the table was lost underneath it. It takes 2 people to hold it up to read it, you could have it flat open on a table but you need to be standing above / over it to read anything near the top end of the pages.
... and no, before anyone asks, I didn't forget her - she got her present a few days ago (just to add to the surprise) - a lovely gold ring with fine filligree detail, and a very pretty emerald-cut blue Topax mounted in the centre.
Her words - "you scored enough points to carry you through for this year"

And a final "coup de grace" for this day - the day the GOTO died.
Slight breeze came up and cleared the skies of smoke and revealed a lovely sky (for the city). Set up my scope, turned it on, reached for the hand control......and it turned off, just as if someone had turned the switch off. Checked the battery, checked the connections, all OK. No go. Switched on and off, unplugged and replugged, cried, swore, all to no avail. Went and had a stiff drink of lemon tea and a slice of my wife's freshly baked cake. Tried it all again - nuttin'. Did a search for problems like this. Nuttin!
Took out my binocculars. It was a lovely sky, but a sad end to Valentine's Day. Guess its another trip to York on Monday.
Anyone got any ideas???
