[Jogeephus]

Wow. 45 years is quite the investment to walk away from.

 

[alisonb]

Ouch! That's a bad one. Sorry to hear that Ala.

ALACOWMAN.....
you have my sympathies.....
my first wife walked out on me after 14 years....
it was the most difficult time of my life....
not saying she was totally wrong....
but it sure turned my life upside down....

I was suspicious of this statement for several reasons. Not that I found it out of charactor for you to have met someone in Canada during the Vietnam war. But I didn't think you were old enough to have been married for 45 years (but I hear they do marry very young in Ala. but I thought that was just the girls). I also found it very troubling that a woman would leave a marriage and leave everything behind. That has definately not been my experience.

Are you saying you were a draft dodger that went to Canada and got married ? :cowboy: :banana: :banana:

 

[alisonb]

:roll: :help: I took the bait, what kind of fish were you hoping to catch?

 

[Dave]

Hey, I went to Canada plenty of times while Vietnam was going on and I wasn't a draft dodger. I was riding in rodeos and they have some pretty juicy broncs up there. They also had some mighty friendly women who were not hard on the eyes too. I just never stayed in town long enough for that nasty M word to come up.

if it was a fabrication..... then the point and the joke have eluded me....drudged up bad memories....and exposed me as a sympathetic old fool....

 

[slick4591]

Probably bad of me to think this way, but when I read you got to keep everything I was thinking you lucky dog you. I didn't get much more than my clothes in either of mine.

Nothing wrong with having a big ol' soft heart pdf, we will get him yet ;-)

All I would have added was that you must have been a he11 of a guy since it took you 45 years to mess up enough for her to leave.

 

[ALACOWMAN]

yes it was a long time, but i had to make it work in conjunction with the vietnam war :cowboy:

 

[Commercialfarmer]

I thought it was funny.

I knew it had to be a joke since you got to keep everything.

I didn't get to keep everything, but i did get to keep the car payment, the credit card bills, and i did get to keep paying for the child's needs. (I didn't mind that part, but i never realized how much money a baby needed a month until the judge told me)

I agree, and i would much rather err on that side of things.

 

[ALACOWMAN]

in truth i did loose about everything, in my divorce.... but i think the judge must of thought we'd get back together,,,, cause she gave me the cows, and her the land. .. i didnt want to sell the cows, and she wasnt going to sell the land....

Look he did a good thing, stepped up and married a "ol maid". Least by Al standards, she was five years past time.
