I didn't know if I should bring this up or not, some people have very, very strong feelings about it

The upcoming Tuesday is Valentines Day 💘Now if you are newly in love, you probably enjoy this day. If you are married and you and your husband, or wife, have been happily married for a while, do you feel an obligation to go out and buy them something, anything for the day? What if you are single like me. Does it get you a bit down as a reminder that you are single . Do you want to find a crossbow and go hunting the little cherub with wings and give him a taste of your tipped arrow. Hmm, just looked that up and other than Minecraft and other games, doesn't appear to be such a thing, oh well . 

So for the heck of it, I'm going to ask you what Valentines Day means to you? I'm curious to see if there is a varying amount of opinions.

Now that we got that all out of the way, I do have to thank @Myr for doing the wrap up the past two Sundays  The first one I was on holidays, but last week I honestly forgot and didn't pop on the site until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon . Luckily the big guy with his all seeing and all knowing eye, sort of like the Eye of Sauron 👁️, jumped in and got 'er done  

On Monday this week, we had this month's CSR Feature announced. It has the name of my favourite singing groups of all time in the name :

Jump to Thursday, we had @Valkyrie let us know that her and Myr have revived an old contest, so to speak. In the olden days there was the Reader's Choice Awards, but it was all mostly done anonymously with nominations though our Harry Bird, @TalonRider. Seeing what Myr and Val they have cooked up, I like the new format and look forward to seeing the results of the different categories. You have to pay attention to the main forums page to see what is the current genre to be nominated for or what is closed and now needs voting on! Is there going to be a King/Queen of Cliffhangers  Or has that one been awarded to a goat for life!

Fridays prompts looks interesting! I'm sure someone has something Harry Potter related to contribute:

Saturday finished up our week and @Comicality was back with an all new writing article. Some really good advice in this one for all you authors out there.

How about the words of the day? I did not do too good in knowing what most of them meant. Luckily we have the Word of the Day to solve that  

assuage, frolic, microcosm, outlandish, garrulous, dithyramb, rebus
