Hoosker Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Maybe next year.... *sob. Just kidding. Those are some classy roses! I know plenty of ladies that would love a half-dozen of those. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well, come to find out that the 12 and 24 Dozen varieties of this offer are already sold out (earliest delivery is on Feb. 21st)--only the six rose offer remains. Wonderful. I suppose that's a good thing, as I don't think any of the other schools have sold out of their arrangements... Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I'm making this for the wife this year: She's sick of roses. She's gotten roses 100 times and she doesn't want them anymore. I ran across this on Pinterest and thought it seemed cool, easy and inexpensive. Those are three of my favorite things. Quote Link to comment
darkhorse85 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 My girlfriend introduced me to Pinterest. I've never done crack but I'm almost positive that the addiction is similar. 1 Quote Link to comment
MMAHusker Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Have any of you guys sent an edible arrangement? Was it worth it? Quote Link to comment
darkhorse85 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Have any of you guys sent an edible arrangement? Was it worth it? I've never sent one but we've had clients send them to our office as a thank you. They're pretty good. I'm not sure I'd shell out my money for one though. Quote Link to comment

My girlfriend is obsessed with it, it is kind of cool. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 If you think using Pinterest should get your man-card revoked, I don't think you're using it correctly. And the whole point of Valentine's Day for the guy is.... well..... you know. I'm willing to be a little sappy for some happy fun time. 1 Quote Link to comment
darkhorse85 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Lyons - it helps pass the time at work. I really only use it for the recipes, however. It still doesn't come close to my Reddit addiction though. Quote Link to comment

Ha I don't use it, simply because on campus it is stereotyped as being a site for females. I don't blame you for using it though, they have some cool stuff on there. Quote Link to comment
MMAHusker Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 My wife is obsessed with Pinterest too. I find my self looking at it when she leaves the room! Some cool stuff on there for sure. Thanks for the advice darkhorse. Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Don't order it from ftd.com (this goes for any arrangements, not just an ugly husker one). Call a flower shop that uses FTD if you want that specific arrangement. You'll avoid a $10 or so fee that way. The entire purpose of FTD, Teleflora, etc is to know where the flower shops are and what their phone numbers are, and they make money by charging a fee. This makes it so the flower shop has to charge more for the flowers to cover the fee they pay to FTD. There is no reason they should still be in business when you can just peruse the internet to find it yourself. Same goes for 1800flowers. They are the worst of them all. Quote Link to comment
