Usually, for a woman. But I'm old, and remember the olden days when teachers would pause teaching to get their tiny students to hand out candy-hearts. It was a sort of a competition; the girls with the most hearts, won.

Many blogs, many virtual candy-cookies and lots of comments.

I feel guilty about rants, and I'm skipping a long dissertation about accusations in my marriage I wasn't romantic enough.
