We'd worked together for six years. She'd been thru a bad divorce and over time we'd come to realise we share a fanaticism for Star Wars. This was May of 05? when "Revenge of the Sith" came out...

I plucked up the courage to ask her if she'd accompany me to my seventh viewing thereof. She'd only seen it once before so she was happy to see it again...

Pretty much sealed and delivered the deal when both of us filled out the 500 question questionair in e-harmony.com, that online dating thing which told us each independently we were completely incompatible with anybody else in their database

Sort of confirmed our good fortune right there

I met my ex-wife at work. I met my G/F at work too.

Only in Winslow Arizona.

I've been to Winslow...never had a girl in a flat bed Ford slow down to take a look at me.

In our college library.

She looked really cute. I looked like a mess.--longish hair (in a 'Fro if you can believe that) and a scraggly beard.

I couldn't believe that she would come over to talk to me.

It turns out she was being annoyed by my yapping with another classmate.

I've been annoying her for almost 33 years.

Anyways, earlier this year the catholic group on her campus (our arch-rival school as twalgamuth could tell you) invited our catholic group on a retreat with them. To make a longer story short, we share a mutual friend and built up a report on the retreat. Turns out she isn't so "psychotically religious" anymore so we get along great. Makes going to an all-guys school much more enjoyable having a lady friend down the road.

Thanks

i've been to winslow too. it is a pretty sad little town but has a spectacular old railroad hotel which is operating....has a nice restaurant in it too. a few antique stores in town and a kindof corney statue of the eagles (?) with a flatbed ford truck next to it (i think). we were there in the winter. i bet it is kindof hot in summer.

There she was, down the road a piece, I spotted her. Walked over, clubbed her over the head and dragged her back to the cave. After a year, I realized she wasn't leaving so we got married. This was 14yrs ago. Now with three kids, home and dog it amazes me how much this woman always believed in me. Her loyalty is unwavering. She has become my closest and most trusted friend and somehow she endures all my infantile and childish behavioral issues.

She puts a polished and friendly face on our families' public image and she truly is the wind beneath my wings. Yeah sure, she talks too much, spends too much money and blah, blah, blah but If she ever was to go I am afraid I would revert to my caveman ways. I have really come to believe behind every successful man is a strong woman. I may never admit it openely but she is the reason I even exist and our kids are a constant reminder of how truly special she is to me.

I met my ex wife in a topless bar. She was one of the dancers. needless to say that was a disaster.

I met my current girlfriend on Myspace. It's going really well. I think she may be a keeper.

Met her in a Pub in Belfast when everyone had to evac due to a bomb threat and then lost her in the exit rush...

6 months later I walk into the first session of Geology 101 at NYU and she is sitting in the 2nd row...(now if that ain't a message or what?)

5 years later I married her.

I met my wife in Panama while I was there working as a winter fishing guide. She was cooking that night (while on break from teaching school) and I asked her if she would make something other than the meatloaf that someone else made. I swear she looked over both shoulders and then sprinkled some kinda dust in my chicken.

Game over. I took her to Midway Atoll to meet the summer job fishheads, and got married in Honolulu while on break. Now I have three boys and a peleadora.

Cool story. I have met one Panamanian girl, and she was hot.

What's a peleadora?

MTUpower · #43 02-25-2007, 11:15 AM

My wifes spelling- a Peleador is a fighter- add the "a" and it's now the feminine form.

Not WITH my cousin you sick little monkeys!
Seriously, I had lost my wife to cancer (age 34) spring of 2001. I was at a family reunion summer of 2002. My cousin and I were talking and she asked me how things were going and so on. Then she told me she had a friend in her home town (about about 40 miles from me) that had lost her husband to cancer (age 37) earlier that year. Her words: "I'm not saying you should date or anything because I can't speak for either of you but you would have a lot to talk about and you might become friends".
Well, we became friends (understatement of the year). I called, we met for lunch, things developed at a natural pace and we blended our families (2 kids each). Now I live in that little town and our first anniversary is this April 21. We are the two luckiest people in the world. Most people never get to have one good marriage and she and I each get to have two. It's a classic case of the old saying: "If you don't understand, no explanation is possible. If you do understand, no explanation is necessary".
