She's a keeper it sounds like. My wife was about ready to kill me after 9 years of active and just a couple of moves

Good story, except for the part where it stunk so bad!😀 What did your daughter say?😀
Did you do the Ft Bedford Dance Sunday Night?
Me and Danny and a few others were always there. Friday night we went spotting, usually Lovely or Dry Ridge and New Baltimore. Saturday night we were at the Schellsburg Dance.
Mostly killing time before we headed to P- ville and the races!
Carol usually drove herself to Schellsburg, and after the dance she went home, and the rest of us drank beer, talked, and occasionally raced at Pleasantville.
It was a great time to be young with a good car, good friends, and guns and hunting on the weekends.
As I gave into her charms, the races and dances started getting less important!😀 My buddies said I got “pussy whipped”!😀
Life would’ve been simpler if I hadn’t gotten in too deep, but we had a great life together, and Ben is certainly one of my greatest blessings.
I wish it would’ve worked out better for her and I. I always thought by now we’d be getting older together, and enjoying grandkids.

I was writing scripts for a teevee show called Barnaby Jones, filmed at Goldwyn Studios, in Hollywood. My future wife was an executive assistant on the show. After about the third script, I asked her out for dinner; things progressed, we fell in love and later married.

We had a very good marriage for 43½ years until she died from complications of Alzheimer's dementia. I was extremely lucky to have had her with me those years.

recovering from divorce #3, and dragged out of a few beers with a buddy to 'meet some gals'. Met this redhead, talked a bit, danced a bit, and well, there I was. Married now 31 years.

All joking aside, it was like 1minute's deal, except it was Ichthyology class. Mine had hair that long too, and was wearing those spandex jogging legging things, which showed her butt off to magnificent effect. I think I was immediately enamored. We started out as study friends, each dating others, and then it turned out better. Over a quarter century now.

So that must have been the old UOP Campus location.

Met Fall 1984 Chem101 Shima Building. Didn't ask her out till we both got Jobs across the street at Mervyns a year later and I saw her folding panties in the Lingerie Dept and I made my move.🤣😂🤣

Reon,
Daughters didn't know the truth, but they didn't believe me. (For some reason.)

My wife sat there grinning and shaking her head.
Smiling, wanting to laugh, and strangle me at the same time.



Never went to the dances, I really hate crowds and group functions.

Freshman year of College, 1988. We were both 18. Met over Spring Break and have been together ever since. Married now for 28 years and have 2 amazing boys. She's the most selfless person I've ever known. Couldn't have asked for a better wife, or mother to my children. She's also extraordinarily beautiful....inside and out. She takes good care of herself and has aged very well. Looks much the same as when we met 36 years ago. I thank God every day for her.

Ohhh!! Forgot to add.....she loves guns and shooting, and has voted twice for Trump. Soon to be thrice!! Ha!

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
