I have adjusted the settings on this site to allow people to leave comments without signing up for their own blog space. I’ve gotten wind of several people visiting and not leaving comments for that reason. You’ll probably still need to register for an ID, but that should be it; plus it’s free. So come on. Let me know you were here and what you think.
My small group has decided to have a Valentine’s Party, since the holiday falls on the same night we’d normally be meeting for Bible study. We are giving it a twist though. Since nearly all of us are single we have decided to do ‘mystery gifts’. Meaning everyone brings a small gift and card that will be given, at random, to someone else at the party. No distinction will be made between guys and girl. So, the gift I bring has a real possibility of ending up in the hands of another guy. The only guidelines seem to be under $10 and the cheesier the better. Gift ideas would be appreciated also.
Right now my thoughts have been focused on the card. I am the type of person who can’t give a card to someone without at least trying to write something thoughtful, or witty, or heartfelt, or sarcastic in the card. So I’m trying to decide what to right. I’ve ‘borrowed’ three short passages from different sources. I thought I’d ask you all to vote and give me your opinions. I know there are lots of those running around on these blogs, so let’s hear them.
1) You love her, but she loves him, and he loves somebody else, you just can’t win. And so it goes until the day you die. This thing called love will make you cry.
2) Why be alone when we can be together baby. You can make my life worthwhile. I can make you start to smile.
3) In our next lives I promise to look for you harder, find you sooner, and not waste so much time on all the others.
Now, I never claimed these were original thoughts. If you can guess where all three are from you get 50 bonus points.

First of all, just so you know, you don't even have to register for an ID. Just click on the link that says "Post Anonymously". But, that means that people don't necessarily have to tell you who is writing the comment! :)
As for your Valentine's Day dillemma(sp?), I like the first quote you listed. I'm not even going to try to guess where they all came from! :) Are you allowed to give gift cards as your $10 gift? Or how about some chocolate? Or what about some leftover paczkis?
Well, that my two cents!

Left over Packzi's that's an interesting idea that I bet no one will think of.
How about a CD by Don Johnson, Bruce Willis, or Eddie Murphy? Nothing says "cheese" like 80's TV celebrities singing.
As for the card, I know this is a church group, but nothing says "Valentine's Day" like a limerick that begins, "There once was a man from Nantucket." After that, you're on your own.
I like the first one...still laughing about it!
