I read that the Cadbury Candy Company was the first to put chocolates in heart-shaped boxes for Valentine's Day as a sales promotion.

Does anyone know why we give candy on Valentine's Day?

Forrest Gump said, "My mama always said, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

A permie looking candy:

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

When I remember Valentine's Day, I don't remember all those pretty hearts filled with chocolates.

And I have forgotten all the flowers I received.

I remember when I was in 2nd or third grade and the class all made pretty boxes to stuff valentines into for our friends.

What do you remember?

It wasn't my idea to go to some crazy nightclub in the middle of nowhere. I just wanted to stay home and cuddle with this tiny ad:
