Valentine Tarot Special

Ah, Valentine's Day! That special time of the year much like all the other's when large sums of money are spent on gifts, flowers, cards and candy in hopes that maybe, just maybe, somebody else is dishing out that kind of money on you, too.

If you're a cheap-skate like me, you're constantly looking for ways to survive Valentine's Day with at least half your bank account intact. Well, in the name of creativity, have I got a solution for you: the Internet!! There are tons of sites out there that let you send virtual greeting cards and computer-generated love poems to this month's someone special.

So enjoy this special time of the year, because before you know it, you'll be married with three kids, a dog who pees on the carpet, a gargantuan mortage, white trash neighbors, a lush for a boss and a nagging suspicion that Neitzche was right after all.
