... is developing a sore throat. You know why? Because we can't eat as much sweet as we want, in fact, we are advised not to eat anything sweet at all! For those who love chocolate, this could be tragic! This issue might seem insignificant, but it can be bothersome. Coughing all day and not being able to fully use one's voice is frustrating. What do you think is the worst thing that can happen on Valentines?

Imagine this.. [ You are all set to go out on a romantic date with your valentine.. You step out of the door, rehearsing what you are going to speak to her or the stuff you are going to impress her with... but as you close the door and turn around you sense something weird.. there is pin drop silence... and you seem to be in a no activity zone.. Suddenly, there's some spooky music from a cheap horror film and before you can understand anything.. you see a dark figure approaching.. Somebody hits a torch light on your face and your vision is blurred.. you can't see anything properly.. the only thing visible is the figure which keeps on advancing towards you.. Its aura.. its very existence senses evil.. with every resemblance to the devil himself.. your heart starts pounding and you turn around, pressing the door nob only to find its somehow locked.. You are panicked and desperately searching for an escape.. but... its too late now.. ...here it is... standing right in front of you staring at your face.. You seem to be cornered.. like someone set you up to face on of your worst nightmares.. and in terror you screammm.. ] "G.. G.. GRANDMA..??? ...huh God... wh..what are you doing here..??" "Ooh shorry cupcake.. you cee your granpa wash bushy, so he told me that you will be glad to take me to your aunt Merry'sh houshe... " .."".. [.. a closes up to your face..] de te de de .. ding te ding de ding... te ding de ding de ding... contd.. ..[car's ignition sound].. .."Oh..! You wouldn't mind if we make a stop at Dr. Walter'sh clinic.. and Oh dear ! ..I have to pick those homemade pickles from Mrs Smith'sh house.. she'sh a ni'sh lady you know.. " ..Yeaahhh...Sure grandmaaa.. .. no problem..

woah, hahah Is this your own personal experience or is it fictional? Either way, I think this story is really funny. Grandma's can be demanding sometimes, eh?

I do think it is okay if you get chocolates on Valentines day. Just keep it in the fridge and eat it when you get well. I am coughing all day now and my voice is so bad, was suppose to go out with friends tonight but I am here staying at home. So I guess having this bad cough can ruin a date because you won't be able to enjoy it out with your date. I lose all my energy when I have this bad cough.

Yeah you are right with my name Aja Yeah hope to get well as this is really giving me a bad and hard day, you might feel the same too... Hmmm yeah okay if there is someone in the house who loves chocolates too, then probably you won't be able to see it anymore.

Sorry to hear that, mylene(i'm guessing this is your name?) Let's both get well soon. For some people, they might find my condition now acceptable since I wouldn't be able to steal and eat their chocolates.

That would be a sadness to not be able to eat chocolate on Valentines day.....I love my chocolate and Valentines day gives me another excuse to help myself to whatever I want! LOL

It is sad. That's why I want to avoid such a situation and have to take care of my body. I have a cough now so I want to get better as soon as possible!

I'm sure there's something worse than that, like developing cancer on Valentine's Day or something like that. There's always 'something worse'. I never actually eat sweets on Valentine's Day as I'm not a big sweets person. I guess if you really like it, maybe..

ah, yes, there are a lot more worse things that can possibly happen. I agree. But for chocolate lovers, I believe this sore throat can be a problem.

I don't really think having a sore throat ould affect my sweet eating on valentines day. I've never ever heard of not eating sweets when you have a sore throat. If anything, I heard that sucking on sweets and chocolates is good for when you have a sore throat. I'd be more worried about kissing and passing the sore throat on haha!

ah, really? Based on my experience, sweets make my sore throats worse so I have to avoid them. But my love for sweets and chocolate prevails all the time. Where did you get that information? my friends actually advised me to kiss my boyfriend to intentionally pass it on to him. That did not work though. hehe.

aww thats mean! giving your poor boyfriend a sore throat. well i heard it from my chemist lol.. when i had a sore throat and went up to the pharmacy, she gave me sweets, lozengers to suck on to soothe my throat lol!

Lol I broke up with this girl on Valentines day, we had only been going out for two days. The only reason I went out with her was because she liked me and I didn't want to be mean. Lol sorry Marrissa [ =

That's awful... though i suppose it's a good thing that you did not prolong the relationship. it would be harder for that girl to cope a one sided love relationship.

I don't have a sweet tooth, so I really don't look forward to all the sweets that i can eat this Valentine's day. A slice of cake will do, but I never really had that craving for chocolates. My mother used to tell me that she loved chocolates when she was still young, but I find chocolates (even dark ones) too sweet for my taste.

I don't think that's the worst thing that can happen on a Valentine. At least for me. I don't like chocolates much anyway. I do love sweets but I still eat them even if I have a sore throat. If I have the appetite. When I'm sick I don't have the appetite. ^^ Anyway, I think for me, the worst thing that can happen on a Valentine's is to be on a date with a disgusting guy. I mean, with a guy that you went on a first date with. You always get to discover things that you didn't know about the guy. What's worse is when you're already liking him and on the first date, you discover something that turns you off a lot.

in Chinese or Oiental medicine a sore throat is a result of over worked kidneys due to bad eating habits. in Western medicine it is usually caused by a bacteria most probably strep, it should not affect you if you are healthy, the worst thing on Valentines day is is not to have a Valentine's lover (kidding), be health whole year round , Valentines's or whatever....

Thank you for that information. The chinese medicine theory is new to me. I don't think Valentines is exclusively for lovers to celebrate. It can be our family or our friends, let's just hope they are single as well. hehe

I think the worst thing can happen in Valentine's day is to lose your Valentine! After all the dreams made, all the preparations done, all the scenarios rehearsed, on the day itself, you found out that your lover is cancelling the date with you to be with another Valentine.

Hi aja, Sorry to hear about your sore throat especially with coming valentines day. It seems that you're expecting a lot of chocolates on this day. Well, maybe you can eat chocolates again if you got better. Yes, we can't eat too much sweets because we all know that too much is sometimes bad for our health. I hope that you'll get well soon. The worst thing that i think can happen on valentines day, is that no one will say iloveyou to me, whether it's a family member or a friend. LOL.

The worst thing is thinking that some one is I your valentine and on the day you are wondering why y didn't get anything and you find out that it was o ly you that though you each other valentine and so you are sitting inside your car thing how you could be so dumb think that. Then you drive home and ear ur weight in comfort food. That is the worst that could happen.
