Valentine's Day means flowers, chocolates and expressions of love.
Since the people at Kettering Memorial Hospital were so caring during her husband's long illness, Kettering resident Katie Makarius wanted to give something back.
AMONG ITS other negatives, Valentine's Day has now been shown by thoughtful scientific research to cause global warming. I knew it. Environmentalists in Britain are mad that the flowers British women get for Valentine's Day are usually flown in to the country, typically as far as 33,800 miles, before reaching their destination.

From donating blood to giving away flowers, senatorial candidates cooked up various election gimmicks as they capitalized on the Valentines Day celebration yesterday.
Despite violence stalking their land, the residents of Baghdad braved the streets to buy flowers on Valentine's Day.
