A holiday for the rest of us

As if there aren't enough holidays already, here's one for the people losing out on the love on Valentine's Day. It's called Satisfied Staying Single Day, it takes place on Feb. 11, and as the same implies it's a day to celebrate being single.

If this message applies to you, it's likely you'll be at home watching "Sex and the City" in syndication on V-Day, but that's okay. You can buy yourself some chocolate, right?

Or buy yourself a card and play right into Hallmark's hands.

You can make this holiday work yourself by following through on the promise of Dump Your Significant Jerk Day on Feb. 8.

Of course, don't forget the week starting Feb. 14 is both International Flirting Week and National Condom Week. Those are followed by Second Honeymoon Weekend.

And the card companies rub their hands in greed. So do the online dating services.
