Here are some tips on how to enjoy Feb. 14. • Get together with friends for a fancy dinner and a movie. Invite other singles as they may enjoy going out, too. • Host a potluck get-together for singles in your home. Have a boxed candy or flower ex- change. • Attend a \Valentine's Day Sucks\ party that many area pubs sponsor this time of year. • Pamper yourself with a spa treatment or enjoy getting your hair and nails done at a local salon. • Call a long term care facil- ity to set up a visit with a resi- dent who doesn't get many visitors. Then go in and visit the resident to wish them a Happy Valentine's Day. • Bring entertainment to your work place - send yourself a single red rose with a card signed, \From Your Secret Ad- mirer\. This will surely stir up speculation and fun. • Most importantly, if you are newly single this year due to a loss of a partner and hav- ing a rough day, admit this to family or friends so they can be there for you. Enjoy Valentine's Day.
