		<description>I don't think you're a Grinch honey. Just a toad ;-).  But that's why I love you so much.  And I sincerely hope that you're not planning on entering some stupid contest to win me a baby's breath diamond necklace....the only diamond i want doesn't go around my neck...but most importantly, if you have something say about why you love me so much, I'd rather hear you say it to me than read about it on a website.  

Happy Valentine's Day to you, my sweet Toad!!!  Muah!</description>

		<description>Wow, Madeline.  You're truly a hypocrite.  I really should have marked your comment as spam, since it seems more like an ad for your product and your contest than anything relevant to my post.  However, I've chosen to approve the comment because I think it stands as a perfect example of everything I hate about commercialized holidays such as this.</description>

		<description>Well---The Valentine Grinch is alive and well on this site, and the Grinch has some really major points to ponder.  I agree that all the commercialism is NOT what the holiday is all about.  It is about feeling and emotion and true love.  That goes for all types of relationships, be it mate, child, parent, or friend.  I really agree with many of the issues that are outlined here in this article.  Here is another way to show your love for your special someone in a heartfelt way without breaking your wallet. Go to http://www.mydovechocolate.com and enter Dove’s “Expressions of Love” contest to have a chance to win a beautiful 5.58 carat “Baby’s Breath Diamond Necklace” worth over 21K dollars.  What a lovely way to say “I Love You” to your special someone.  I work for the company so I have an inside track.  And can you imagine the look on her face when she reads what you wrote about her and why you love her so much?!  Make it a memorable and meaningful Valentine’s Day for both of you this year.</description>

		<description>Amazing.  We can't seem to communicate, but we each have the same thoughts about Valentine's Day.  I don't want flowers or a card or jewelry.  I can't say that about chocolate because I ALWAYS want chocolate.  And my gift to you?  To cook a nice romantic dinner for you, with you, to be eaten by candlelight, and then some snuggle time.  That's my idea of a perfect Valentine's Day with the one I love.</description>
