I asked her if she'd like to dance , she said not with you, I said that's good I wasn't going to join you. I sat down with her and it's been downhill ever since....

The nearest bait shop that is open is 12 miles in the wrong direction. This made me sad.? i decided to take one of my little kayaks and just enjoy the lake. This made me happy.? As I was launching my kayak I noticed I was being watched. I think this is a Pterosaur. The buzzards were watching me too. This made me panic. I found a cute little island floating in the middle of the lake. This made me wonder. I saw an abandoned railroad bridge up ahead. This made me curious. This looks like a dare. Some of these ties look a little rotted. This made me feel a bit unsure. I think I need a fat bike. This will make a fine bike trail when it’s finished. This made me happy and I didn’t die.

Was introduced to mine by an ex girlfriend. I was still working at the boat rental. Tan, long hair in a pony tail, big earring, tie dyed t shirt and sandals. She did not run away. Dated for 4 years or so, got married, been through some good times and some bad. Coming up on 22 years in February.

If anyone has been aware of the saga of my broken eyes and the sudden ER quality spikes in my blood pressure due to anti glaucoma eye drops then the current situation is quite the comeback toward normal. I have for all of this century been taking a control pill for my blood pressure based on a very bad family history and a slightly elevated blood pressure back around the turn of the century. It's an ACE inhibitor that dilates the blood vessels and thereby reduces blood pressure. My eyes are also broken, macular degeneration, retinal separations with rips that had to be laser welded back together and lately glaucoma. For the latter I began taking eye drops earlier this year and they caused unexpected side effects in the form of high spikes in blood pressure to the tune of 175/90 one day and a 220/100 during the top end of a stress test. The end result of this was to stop with the eye drops and go for a new dosage of the BP medicine as it was obvious that the old dosage had outlived it's usefulness. A side on this was that I could not get Valsartan because the Chinese manufacturer had decided to use a carcinogen in the pill. Along comes Losartan, still an ACE inhibitor. Well, after a bit more than a month, my blood pressure was down to 124/72 yesterday morning at the doctors office after a steady decline all month. I went to the eye doctor prepared to resume eye drops in one form or another but......................My freakin eye pressures have dropped off to 16 in each eye and the doc does not think that I have to do drops at this time. There will only be occasional visual field tests to see if the glaucoma is getting worse.

She signed up for a Scuba class I was helping to teach. She was a surf guard (aka Baywatch) and very good in the water. When I tell the story within her earshot, I always add "She saw me strutting around in my Speedo and said to herself, 'I gotta get me some of THAT!' " We dated for 3 1/2 years, been married 28. My ringtone for her is still the theme to Baywatch.

I met my wife in a church. We were planning a youth retreat for all the area churches. We were to have all of the junior high youth. She had the girls, I had the guys. We worked together during the day. Been working together ever since.

We had already been married for a few years. I worked at a summer camp/retreat center and we had fifty horses. My wife helped with the horses. She called me in my office and asked me to meet her at the barn. They had ordered a truck load of grain and someone needed to be there when they delivered. The barn was empty, everyone else was out on a ride and all the horses were out. We were waiting on the truck and my wife called me over to the hay loft. She said this was a good place to wait. If the truck hadn’t showed up when it did it would have been better.

...I bet you could have figured out a way to make toast out there on the production floor.

I was kinda dating his friend, John. (We worked at same grocery store, he asked me out to store Christmas party, my mom said yes for me. Ya, thanks mom, sigh) John invited me to go snowmobiling with him and a couple friends and a girlfriend of one of the guys. Mm, ok. The other girl never showed. One if his guy friends showed up in this dorky one piece snowmobile suit, a white helmet that pushed his cheeks out, and an old 1971 Ski-Doo Olympique. (HoSmudge of course) I was this close to saying I didn't feel well; I was 17 and going out in the woods with three guys 10 years older than me. I went anyway. It was actually a nice day. For some reason (Devine intervention?) my attitude toward that guy with the cheeks turned 180°. I called him. We went out to a movie (On Golden Pond), and we've been together ever since.

We were set up by a mutual friend. We had a female MP in my squad who just happened to get stationed near where she grew up in NOVA who was the HS friend of my wife. We were working together a lot and she planned a movie night in the barracks with a bunch of us. I showed up pretty drunk thinking it was just gonna be the guys in the squad and there was the the prettiest girl I had ever seen. Unbeknownst to either of us nobody else knew of movie night. Seems our friend felt we would be a good match and she was right. We had a nice evening together, she gave me her number and we went out the following weekend and have been together ever since.

The ski boats and the jet skis must have given up for the summer. I did see a family of kayaks, the lake was pretty calm today.

Let's see... My youngest daughter took 4th place in the Junior Nationals road race one year. Illinois junior woman state champion. 2nd, 4th, and 10th places in College National Championships. Won the women's division of two 24 hour races with the best of 355 miles. My oldest daughter has run about 20 marathons; done a few century rides; and rode across Missouri with me once. My son also has done some century rides. Rode across Missouri with me 3 times. Has done RAGBRAI. Slackers. I'd kick their arses.

I worked in a steel mill where they took the toasters out of the break rooms because somebody burned their finger.

Me . What is a spouse

Maybe but it's really hard to mess up a DW install. OK maybe SW could mess that up. The guy was a carpenter. My experience, carpenters and plumbers don't get along. Carpenters are always putting the floor joist in the wrong spot and plumbers are always cutting through the floor joist the carpenters installed.

I met my wife in high school.. her education is better then mine by far. It was at a lock in for stuidents againt drugs and alcohol. I was definitely high durring the whole thing, and still remember Slim our janitor would let me use the boiler room for smoking. Not really sure why I was there to tell you the truth.. maybe I was chasing some tail or something. Anywho... We met and didn't talk again after that night for a couple years when I went back to visit a couple friends at their play they put on. I sat by her and she was on a date. I asked her out for food afterwards and she said yes. She left her date that night and the rest was history.. still together and happy.

You need to quit focusing on personality and just look for a nice pair of tits or legs or better yet, both.

Make a mistake out on the foundry floor and you might be the toast.

We met at work... we worked for the same manager and for a while we actually shared an office. We ended up working together on a couple projects and it grew from there. I thought she was flirting with me; she denies it.... for that summer I was out in the field almost full time and I realized I really missed seeing her every day. We started dating at the end of 1996, married in 2001, and things have been pretty great throughout. At some point she thought we should tell our manager we were dating so there weren't any "workplace issues". We were nervous going in to talk to her, but when we told her she just laughed. Yeah, I think she knew already. These are good stories... thanks for sharing.

I met my wife off the Internet. She didn't cost me nothin'! I didn't even have to go to Russia either -- that would have cost postage stamps and a plane ticket. We dated for 3 years before I finally pulled my head out of my ass. I got lucky.

I asked her if she'd like to watch I love Lucy, she said with you?, we got married 2 weeks later, annulled 3 days later....

That looks like a very content dog.

We met in college in Dr Love's class. It is all his fault. He let us sit together.

Debt, Partridge Family collection, and casement window drawings.

I ha e eaten a raspberry pie, but not played with one.. momma always told me not to play with my food.

I'd like to build one but the kits all seem to be pre-made, no soldering. I see a ballgrid array chip on the board so that's probably why. If I build one it's going to be like going back to work though. Damn you moose.

SW got a new dishwasher? What happened to his wife? Did she finally leave his vegan ass?

...I have lived in this current house for over 20 years without an automatic dishwasher, and for ten years without one in the house before that. No one has died because of the absence of a dishwasher, and I'm relatively certain there's no "absence of a dishwasher" tragedy on the horizon. I like washing the dishes by hand. It calms me, like another meditation practice....but with practical results. An automatic dishwasher would rob me of that experience.

Suck it up Buttercup. Grab a dishcloth and get 'em done.

As with most questions re. watts, whats, wut, whatever, ... I defer to The World's Foremost Authority for a scientologist type solution.

...can you order prior hippie commune girls on Amazon now ? I think we have the answer to RG's dating dilemma.

Has been this way for 14 years.

And one thing I had to do with my last pup, or when my current pup has a stomach bug, is make sure there is a high level of liquid content in her food. If they stop drinking, that is bad, but you can get a good bit of fluids into them via food as well. Like I wrote, wet food or gravy-type additives help keep them hydrated when they start to have less interest in drinking. Also, give Edgar control of the TV remote. Suck it up and watch what he wants to see. Tom

I still want the leg, I feel I can reanimate it for use at parties.

Nooooormannnnn..... oh god that voice, scarred for life!

We have been married 5 1/2 years.

I get a lot of love but my sock (who's current storyline has him with a bad leg right now) gets way more attention. I even had to get a second cell phone with a US number for all of you who want to text him. Did I mention I love cheese?

We are home and Candy Stripes is bedded down in the barn.

I was freakin awake at 0400, got up & went to the gym. Did 30 minutes on the dread mill and a lap around me the machines & PTs Kept it light, been a slack coupla months, no sense in hurting myself.

I assume that is Jsharr

I out ran the fish, out swam the bird, and out climbed the dog, the cat chose to not participate....

Brought a tear to my eye. A Jr high buddy of mine had a Weiner dog, we shared many adventures.

Fortunately for Cesar the Rubicon was shallow enough for him to be able to drive across it in his jeep and lead his troops (who also crossed in their jeeps) in taking control of Italy and making the trains run on time. Why he made them run on time is open to debate because everyone already had jeeps to get around in. Some think he was simply setting precedent for later dictators who only had fiats and needed the trains.
