Where did you meet your Valentine?

[dirksterg30]

I met my wonderful wife at church about 9 years ago.

I wish I had some of those old polariod photos from back in 60's . LOL
(jail material)

Okay. I do have a picture of a picture of a "Polaroid" I can show you. We had a Kodak "Instant picture camera" that was nice until Polaroid shut that down by winning their lawsuit. Anyhow, I can show THIS one, not the other cherished momentoes of our more "youthful" and romantic days. Settle down, now, we're both very clothed, but it was neat that I got to swear my wife in for re-enlistment once before I retired in 1988. We took one shot with the Kodak "not-a-Polaroid" and several with my 35mm SLR. The dang photo-processor "ruined" the film and this is all we have to remember the occasion. That's why this is a photo of a photo.
The photo doesn't do her justice and 20 plus years hasn't helped me at all. It ain't funny! One of these days you'll be complaining about how your hair on top of your head is disappearing and you're experiencing a bumper crop or growth in places you wished it wouldn't... of course, your vision kind of gets worse and keeps you from noticing the change so much... until someone takes your picture and you see some old fart standing there where you were in the picture. Well, enough complaining and introduction. Here we were around 1987 early 1988.<Sigh>

Nice photo, too. Almost 41 years! Fantastic. Both of us are on our second marriage... and the last -- 24 years next month.

My first wife ('70-'82) and I didn't get along together, but we're good friends and family when together. I send her my books as I read them. She likes the same stuff.
A good joke when we're out together is something about me being there with my "wives". That gets me a punch in the arm from my Ex and a "glare" -- one of those looks from my wife. I like to live dangerously!

17 years ago I met my wife to be at my job, we were both new hires and we were in the same training. Still at that same job, still with that same women!

I met my Valentine in January 1959 while helping build Kermac Nuclear Fuels refinery at Ambrosia Lake, New Mexico. Things clicked. We married in March, I was 20 and she was 16. A couple of years later we started a family. Valentine's day a few days back was wonderful. The magic is still there.

Great! And I'm glad that the nookular stuff didn't prevent you from starting a family.

Wow, you blew your identity dude. Glen Cambell on KahrTalk. Nice pic, not exactly the information I was hoping for but really nice just the same.

My life mate...

I was standing in a neighborhood bar when she came in with a bunch of friends celebrating her one friends birthday...April 20, 1984. We hit it off right away...as she was in the Army ( joined 1977 ) and I worked for the DoD ( joined 1977 ). We all left the bar, and I was asked if I wanted to go to the birthday girls house...to continue the celebration. I wound up cookin' breakfast for the 5 girls as evening turned to morning. We got married exactly one year later...on her friends birthday...on Sanibel Island, FL...below the lighthouse on the beach @ sunrise. A guy surf fishin' took some wedding photos of us and the preacher.

This April 20th will be our 25th anniversary...!!

Time flies when you're havin' fun !!

Nice! And the cars not half bad either.

[SHOOTER13]

Thanks...

That's an original '32 Auburn convertable with rumble seat...one of her sisters/brother-in-laws cars...that include a Excaliber, a Bentley, a few Vettes, Mercedes, etc. They have at least ten different classics...

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback McNabb now resides in her "old mansion" in Delran, NJ. The picture of my wife and that car was taken by me on that property before it was sold to McNabb.

I have to read this as I'm eating my peanut butter sandwich for lunch at my desk. Your a lucky guy. I'm really not jealous, well maybe a bit, but having a bit of trouble breathing, that money smell in my nose and all. I'd like to experience it (money) once before I cross the river just to see what it's like.
