That powder is awesome on cornflakes.

Would you say "they're great!"?

I decided I would by the Mass Effect trilogy. Just need a few minutes to go to the Gamestop.

Nice...have fun with that.

Fine I water when I get home from work but they are supposed to arrive at the door..... looking presentable and not in need of assembly.

I have ordered them for my wife, mom, aunt, sister, etc.

They have come in a box every single time. They are usually in great shape, but they come in a box and need to bee assembled and water added every time.

Magic 8 ball says all signs point to yes.

I don't really like flowers, most of my friends don't either.

Went with proflower so the bouquet would be delivered to the GF's work. It was her request. Next year I will bring the flowers myself and pick them out at the Jewel flower shop. I can save the $15 bucks shipping and get more flowers.

Flowers are just a commodity to show a gesture to a chick. Like, "hey I bought you this now do stuff to me and or for me"

Agreed. Nothing says I love you like flowers from a discount website.

They seem to go over well every time I've bought them, but hey, if you want to pay more for your flowers so whoever is receiving them won't judge you over it...

If you want to mix it up, you don't have to order flowers. I got my wife a giant bear from flowers.com this year. She loved it.

Yeah, I haven't done flowers for my g/f up to this point so they were a real surprise for her...probably gonna hold off on them for a few special occasions so it stays that way.

Bought flowers and chocolate for the wife and had them sent to her work on Valentine's day and she promptly left them at work during her 3 day weekend. Im expecting they'll be dead a day after she gets back to work.

Whenever I smell flowers I think of Wakes and Funerals.

I ordered from them a couple of times and had the same issue. IIRC they were using Fedex at the time. Now I'll just go to a local florist instead of rolling the dice.

I took Darkside as a guy that had a strong pimp hand. Giving your wife gifts is a sign that that hand is going limp.

I didn't get anything. Being married to my husband is a gift everyday and it keeps on giving. :P

The flowers you bought were specifically grown for Valentines day most likely in Argentina or Chile, genetically altered to handle the rigors of shipping. ProFlowers is counting on this day, along with Mother's Day, to do the bulk of their business for people making that one time order of flowers. They lure you in by saying "Its not too late for her to get them" and so instead of taking the time to make the trip to the florist (and spend the money) you point & click and 2 minutes later you're done with it. FedEX & UPS contract to perform the delivery but they don't control the weather, so if your flowers end up sitting in a cargo container in freezing temperatures because of weather delays, its beyond their control (not that your local florist can't suffer delivery impediments).

Oh yeah, they're going to die anyway.

Arizona Prisoner is 2014's Most Dedicated Valentine

Image


While you were out eating dinner with your girlfriend/boyfriend — or, alternately, watching House of Cards by yourself — Andrew Dekenipp was scaling walls and fighting through razor wire at Pinal County Adult Detention Center. He had love on his mind.

According to police in Coolidge, AZ, Dekenipp was apprehended about three hours after he escaped from prison on Valentine's Day. He was captured at Gallopin' Goose Saloon & Grill — 4.5 stars on Yelp! — where he had been waiting for his girlfriend, who arrived minutes before police.

In order to escape the prison, Dekenipp had to climb a 12-foot fence, crawl through razor wire, and then climb another razor-topped fence, which he was apparently able to do? Then again, Dekenipp has some experience: he was initially arrested on Jan. 10 for suspicion of vehicle theft, trafficking in stolen property, unlawful flight, theft and driving on a suspended license.

According to officials, Dekenipp had told other inmates that he was brokenhearted after having been away from his girlfriend for over a month. Nonetheless, like so many on Valentine's Day, he didn't get to have any sex.

My experiences with all the mail order companies have been bad. If you call them and complain, they will likely send replacements as a good faith effort.

I do prefer to have a local florist because you know that it's going to look good and hell, you are keeping a local business in business.
