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?
