Hi.
Happy Valentine's to my wife of 32 years. She takes care of me like no one could. I do the maintenance portion( blowing snow, taking care of pool) of house and she does all the baking, laundry, dishes and many more which isn't something I would be good at. She says she love's doing it. She's FANTASTIC.

Since my husband and I are far apart this Valentines Day , we just shared some time on our devices.

Valentine's day is a tough day for me as is for many others. I have a fear of rejection and unfortunately I allowed one day to roll to the next too often. I have no regrets but I do get down during holidays such as valentine's day and Christmas as I have no family to celebrate with. Born and raised in Ottawa. I have often showed love for the many in need. Recently buying late season sales for winter clothes on Amazon and shipping to the men's shelters when I'm able to. This valentines day I decided to treat myself. To love myself which is so hard to do at times. I got my first phone plan in over 10 years and am trying to connect more. I need to get out and do stuff. Having a new phone is the first step in being able to connect and love and if I do by chance find that special someone. This phone will be paramount to igniting the warmth of loving hearts. I also took myself out for dinner ignoring the looks and thoughts of couple's around me. Hrmph to you. I am enjoying. No! I am loving me.

I took my girlfriend out to an Italian restaurant and then we grabbed some take out cheesecake and cuddled in with two bottles of wine 🙂

My partner brought us home some sushi for a lovely supper, and I made a strawberry rhubarb pie. And there were lots of kisses!

My phone has only called 1 person. It is true. Some holidays can hurt

Showing that we love them is not limited to simply one day, if it is Valentine’s Day or not. Often I don't do anything and act like it is a regular day. For most their love is not limited to one day and for most their signs of affection of that shared love is not limited to the one day. We should be showing our love to each other everyday and often to more people.
Public Mobile assuming again that we all celebrate a holiday. Unfortunately there are people out there that don’t have many, if any people to celebrate these holiday’s with. This contest in particular does not seem to show awareness or sensitivity to those individuals. It is not something for us luck enough to have people to share these holidays with should just simply ignor.

I am in Florida and my wife of 42 years had to fly back home to Ontario for an appointment ,, so we spent a lot of the day using whatsapp,, it was a fun day together even though we we close to a 19 hour drive away

Finally made it through an entire movie! First time since our 7 month old has been born....and lots of candies!
02-15-2020 06:11 AM
I show my loved ones I care by making sure the toilet paper supply is always full 😂

I like to spread the love with pie! Who doesn't love a slice of homemade pie.....mmmm...pie.
02-15-2020 03:52 AM
I think keep it simple is better, ultimately, the purpose of Valentines Day is to spend time with those that we love. Sure, going out or doing activities is great but I am also okay with just keeping things low key and perhaps watching a movie at home.
It all depends really.
Happy belated Valentines Day everybody, and thanks PM for this event.
All the best.

First of all, Kudos to the team. You are doing a great job. ✌️☺️
For me, Valentines day is the memorial day of soldiers who were died during Pulwama attack. I would like to send my love salute to the heroes at the border. 😊 ❤️

Happy Valentine's day! I bought flowers for my wife as usual.
02-14-2020 10:08 PM
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Family day!
Have a good long weekend!
02-14-2020 09:40 PM
To spread love to others, I like to volunteer.
To spread love to myseslf... I like to just relax and do nothing really, haha

To be honest, Valentine's Day was not a big deal in the country where I grew up so coming to the Canadian culture it was overwhelming that Valentine's Day was celebrated even by school kids who are pressured to give each person in their class a Valentine card. It is a nice way to acknowledge the one you love and acknowledge others who cross your path to wish them Happy Valentine's day.
02-14-2020 09:16 PM
I work for a florist, so you can guess how I spread the love. Yes, flowers! 🙂 It's a busy day, but worth while to know that you have helped so many people spread love.
02-14-2020 08:28 PM
Treat others as you wish to be treated. Respect others. Make time to spend with family and friends.
Happy Valentine's day everyone.
02-14-2020 08:15 PM
Everyday is Valentine's Day! Lots of kisses and hugs. The power of love! XO
02-14-2020 08:08 PM
For me is to help those around me. doesn't matter if you are down on your luck or needing extra help, people shouldn't be treated differently because they look different.
So basically, if you want to treat people like crap, how would you feel if others treated you like crap. You wouldn't. So be kind, respectful and treat the people around you on how you wanted to be treated.

Very well said, words of wisdom there. Something we take for granted too often. Remember to hug your loves ones often and spend some quality time with them.

I took my wife to SWANESET golf club for lunch and gave her a ♥️ 💜 card with a Public Mobile top up card inside. ♥️ 💜
We are now snacking on green M&Ms.
02-14-2020 06:30 PM
I took my wife out to one of her favorite (inexpensive) restaurants last night (at her request) rather than today to avoid the crowds. We had a wonderful meal and leftovers to take home for lunch today. This morning we wished each other a happy Valentine's and tonight we will chat with our boys to wish them the same. My wife says every day can be and is Valentine's Day if we want it.

With the old plugs inside? I remember when they were 2 for $1.49.

Valentines is a good ocassion for A secret home cooked, special gourmet dinner without the partner knowing until they show up. Cook it youself or hire a cook or chef
