Well played! As it turns out I'm guessing she didn't have much use for most of what she packed...but I suppose that would be a good thing...scratch that, a GREAT thing.
Spot on B. It was the scramble to find the sarongs to math the bikinis and the scrunchies to match the sarongs, 6 pairs of shoes for 3 nights like 8 outfits and then the toiletries. Oh how I wish I would have filmed the mad scramble. I was already packed so I just offered to help (flat refusal on that, lol). It was a great time though and we did do the candlelit dinner on the beach one night which was nice. It wasn't quite at Valentine's Day when I did it though, but I don't think that matters as it could certainly be done on Valentine's day.
Did take her a couple years ago to a local PBR event and she loved it. Great idea, sadly no PBR this time of year for us.
I agree out of the box experiences are better than the norm. I like to watch her face when the plan unravels.
Great idea DGS and I have used this page in the playbook before. She came home I handed her a bag that contained only a change of cloths and essential toiletries. Then we boarded a plane that took us to our final destination on a cruise ship. We bought everything she needed from there. Loved every minute of it.
Everyone has had great ideas for sure. I think you may be on the right track for my particular situation. We do have some local attractions that we have not gone to for one reason or another. Might have to look into one of those and surprise her with that.

Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.

Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never

Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM

Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-

They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just

@Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
