Romantic Valentine’s Day ideas for long-married couples

Ideas for guys
--Fix the dang toilet already. She’ll be so grateful, you might end up making out on the bathroom floor.
--Just for tonight, stay awake past 8 p.m. by using caffeine, self-inflicted pin jabs, or whatever it takes.
--Buy her a new apron. She’ll think of you when she’s up to her elbows in oven grease.
--Did you know you can print personalized covers of some magazines? Choose carefully, though. No woman wants her picture on “Dog Fancy.”
--Give her new boots to keep her feet warm while she’s clearing the driveway with the snowblower.

Ideas for gals
--Compliment your husband on his hair. If his hair is gone, compliment his eyebrows.
--Cook that favorite dish his mom used to make – the one requiring live-animal sacrifice.
--Deliver a shot and a beer to him in his favorite chair so he doesn’t have to schlep out to the tavern.
--Take a shower together, provided you both fit in the shower stall at once.
--Share your iPod with him. Put one earpiece in your right ear, the other in his left ear, and press your heads together on the open-ear side. If you each hear music in stereo, consider moving to an assisted living center.
