Question: Any minute now, I'm going to panic and call my daughter in Portland to see what I should get Mrs. O for Valentine's Day. I can't be trusted to make that decision on my own. But I'm open to suggestions here, too. What do you Ladies of HucksOnline like to get for Valentine's Day?

No comments? Damn, I was hoping for some ideas myself.

Deena says all she wants is a good result on my Monday morning colonoscopy. Nothing for herself, just that. But, that’s OK because I already got her a dozen roses so I wouldn’t have that small task after the procedure.
Yep, it’s time for the triennial reeming, I’m afraid. Recurring polyps make it necessary to go in every three years but it’s a small price to pay for an intact bowel. I mean, I like it when I write; but who in real life wants a semi-colon. ;)

Buy her a crystal bud vase containing 3 beautiful roses. Then, in about 3 weeks and for no special reason at all, stop by the florist to get her a bouquet of pink tulips.
