- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

In my household, we don't do valentine's. Instead we celebrate pancake day, it's tastier. Husband even designs a pancake day card it's seriously so cute. I have all the ingredients to make pancakes at home so we don't need to go out and buy shit that we don't need. I've grown tired of the forced celebration calendar, corporations are seriously taking the piss. Next one's Easter and I will certainly not partake. I've seen Easter eggs in shops in early January, and chocolate isn't even good anymore!
Plus if you love someone you celebrate them every day, not once a year.
Ooh pancakes, good idea! Or maybe waffles, I haven't done those in a long time. Time to hunt for a recipe...
May your waffles be crunchy outside and fluffy inside!
