MIKE SMITH" data-source="post: 4389867" data-attributes="member: 44552"><p>On #3 going on 15 yrs- #1 was a good gal- I was a couple years older- we meet in high school and dated after she asked me to take her to her prom- got married after she was out of high school and going to college at Weatherford. I burned I-40 up running out to see her when I had a day off the and we decided to marry even though she had a scholarship there. She got a job and kept going to school. She worked for the phone company, so they centralized in OKC and she started going to OCU. She wouldn't get home till 10 most nights. She finally graduated after about 8 years of that and I'm supposed to just forget anything I was into and pay all my attention to her now. I guess I was bitter about that cause I bailed. Oil bust/saving in loan failures like crazy made it tough in the mid 80's. Humpty bellied up and real estate was dead. Got work with a drug company remodeling mom/pop drug stores all around the country. I would leave Sunday and get home Friday. Had to wash clothes and be ready to head out Sunday again. Got home one Friday and went down to the Elks and there was a new gal waiting tables. We hit it off and as long as I was gone for a week, we did fine. If I worked where I went home every night, it took some adjustment. I got transferred to other places 3 times and she got transferred once with her job, which I was able to get moved with mine and we wound up in the DFW area. I hated living in that mess and we had a lot of trouble with her teenage daughter moving around. Then she got downsized and we moved back to El Reno and lived in my mom's house with my brother on some family land, while we built a new home on the other part of the property. Then my job with the drug co came to an end after 20 years. Cashed in company stock and paid the house off. Renewed my real estate license and was going places like the Elks and Masons again and getting to know people. She didn't understand that I had to get my name back out there to get business. I couldn't get her to see I was doing the same thing I did for the drug company, only I was at home and not on the road and somewhere else like I was with them. She just couldn't see how I was going to make the same money I did with the drug co and just filled for D one day. 18 years wasted as far as I'm concerned and then had to give her the house I paid for on my family's land. stayed single about 5 years and just when I'm pretty good with that, here comes a gal I knew from the early 80's who did the loans for us when I was doing real estate in the early 80's. I always thought she was hot and all here kids were grown and gone. We been at it for 15 years now. As long as I let her little 5' Banty rooster butt think she's the boss, things are good. I have to tell her sometimes that I'm not one of her kids, which she replies, don't act like one then.</p></blockquote><p></p>
