Joyce and I met each other in Greer, South Carolina and 8 months later....after being locked up in a truck for that length of time and both were still living....we got married in Las Vegas.....

Internet dating sight...pathetic huh? (but it worked!)

The only thing that matters FEM is that it worked.

I've lost track of how many happy friends we have that met that way.

18 years and counting! Much more common nowadays...wasn't so readily accepted waaaay back then, lol!

I’ll add mine just because y’all will get a kick out of it. DH and I met showing livestock at the state fair. I had cattle and he had pigs. I was 14 and he was 15. His cousin had taken a heifer up with our steers and she was acting up because she was in heat and making our steers crazy. His uncle called him to come help walk them to tie outs because they didn’t want any of us girls leading them. He was telling a story to a circle of people when I walked up to my stall and he started talking to just me. Dated for 5.5 years, engaged for almost a year, will be married 10 years this Dec.

He was showing cattle his last three years of 4-H.

We went out to dinner at The Oak Room, a 5 star restaurant in Louisville. I was convinced it was a practice run because he didn’t have a ring yet. (Friends/family all worked hard on convincing me of that one.) He got up from his chair and down on one knee beside mine. I said “what are you doing?” and buried my head in his shoulder. He asked if I’d marry him and I said “Of course!” He was like is that a yes or a no? Lol

That cracked me up also.

Teresa and I were friends for quite awhile before we dated. She was a manager in an O'Charleys that I frequented and she would always drop by and chat for quite awhile if they weren't busy. One night I mentioned a movie that was coming out that I would like to see if I had someone to see it with. I don't remember exactly what she said but it was something like "All you have to do is ask hard head".

I love hearing these stories as well. As for hijacking the journal, that's quite all right. There is only so much comic relief I can provide.

That is probably good because your comic relief often involves breakage or near breakage Of course others of us that are also new to this "land owning and maintaining" thing are quite happy to learn from your experiences and questions.

And that didn't suggest something to you? Did she stop and chat up all the other patrons as well?

Switched to your kind of animals I see.

I think he needs to give more detail about how checking out with groceries turned into a marriage!
