(Clearing my throat to write)... here we are, back to one of the most terrible day's in human history, and it comes around every year. ”Disastrous!” “Awful!” “Not my kind of day!” “I hate Valentine's day!” We hear that from our loved ones who do not feel the love... is not that they cannot feel it, is just that they need a stronger level of it... nobody's responsibility! Terrible things in history have happened on the 45th day of the Gregorian calendar and here are some examples:
Events

This change was made to better protect cardholders against fraudsters. (They just want to spend their bloody money!)
