Holy crap! I almost forgot what today is. Today is my wedding anniversary. Yep! On October 5, 1965 I got married. Didn't last. She had big tits and was good in bed. After that, not much. Remember what Robin Williams says (I think it was Robin), "God gives men only enough blood for their brains or their peckers." He's right.
The good thing was that I was married when going to electonics school at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. While all the other guys were going out trying to score, I went home and got a home cooked meal and a roll in the hay. It made going to school a lot more pleasant.
I was divorced two years later. She always had a weight problem. At one time she weighed more than I did and I was 7 inches taller than she was. She probably still outweighs me and her tits are probably at her knees.
She paid for the divorce and I got the car. I was an asshole back then, too.
I think I'll celebrate by getting drunk.
Posted by denny at October 5, 2005 02:22 PMThis isn't the anniversary you should be celebrating. You should be celebrating the day your divorce became final.
Be that as it may, congratulations anyway.
Posted by: Ralph Gizzip on October 5, 2005 06:24 PMWhy do divorces cost so darn much? Because they are worth it! I have been offering $50.00 to any guy with the balls to take my ex out twice, so far, no takers, and its been four years.
Posted by: Jeremy on October 5, 2005 06:39 PMWhen where you at Great Lakes? My Uncle was an instructor there in the late 60's early 70's. He was out by 73 with his last assignmen in Guam.
Always was curious what his students thought of him as an instructor.
As to the ex-wife, my btb was 5'2 and I her she is as wide as tall these days.
Posted by: PaulB on October 5, 2005 09:19 PMPaulb - I was at Great Lakes from January of '66 to September of '66.
Ralph - December 2. Par-tay!
Posted by: Denny on October 5, 2005 09:35 PMDenny, Have shot for me. I've been at sea for three weeks and two hurricanes. No booze on a drilling rig. I have three weeks off to make it up though.
Posted by: oilfieldtrash on October 5, 2005 10:31 PMMuse, wonder, bejabbered I am and I want to say this:
My youngest Son, a year now discharged from the Navy shares the same birth-date and Zodiac-sign as does Denny.
AMAZING how intelligent design works a design of intelligence!
Happy BIRTHday, my friend!
O! Wait! I mean happy Divorce-is-Final Day!
Here's a cheer to you and to our Corps!

Posted by: AnnaB on October 6, 2005 07:02 AMI have two to celebrate: September 5 (2 days after my birthday, so I can drink straight through to the 6th) and January 15. I raise my glass, and wish them what they did to me.
And it's working. Karma's a bi%#@, ain't it!

I always smile on the anniversary of getting the final divorce decree in the mail. I don't even drink on that day because it's not as warm a feeling as the memory of that glorious occassion. Getting rid of her was better than my first piece of ass. All her subsequent husbands think the same way.
Posted by: Ric on October 6, 2005 10:39 AMMy name is Dirty Old Sucker. The reason is obvious. I'm a dirty old man who has never been laid. I have done some sucking in my life however.
Posted by: D.O.S on October 6, 2005 11:57 AMDenny, did you get rid of her because she was fat or your differences?
I'm celebrating my divorce when I'm 60 yrs old...I was married long enough to be able to claim SSI widow's benefits, even though he married again. Little addition to my retirement check until I'm old enough to file for SSI using my benefits. Sometimes the ex comes in handy....
Posted by: vicki on October 6, 2005 01:22 PMvicki - Actually she dumped me. Yeah, I know, hard to believe. But we did have serious differences. She was pretty much a lazy slob. That's why I mentioned the weight. She didn't want to work. She got canned from three separate jobs in less than two years for excessive sick time. Unfortunately, we couldn't live on what the Navy was paying me. She wanted kids and I wanted to wait until I was out of the service and making some real money. We fought a lot over money. The marriage was doomed to failure as outside of sex, (and it was great sex!) we really had very little in common.
Posted by: Denny on October 6, 2005 01:56 PMHappy Anniversary...Dude:) Have one on me.
Posted by: scaryguy on October 6, 2005 04:55 PMCongratulations on cutting your losses early.
Had I known 20yrs ago what a colossal waste of time having a family was going to be, I'd have gotten another dog.
Posted by: Grumpy Old Ham on October 6, 2005 10:32 PMYour ex sounds like my second ex. Didn't mind me working 2 jobs to pay the bills but he thought work was beneath him and, on top of that, chased every "get rich" scheme to boot. Amway, water filters, you name it. Damn near bankrupted us.
My revenge is that he's "retired" (fixes up houses and resells them) at 60 and, since my house was too small, our daughter moved back in with him with her 3 children so he's playing "Mr. Mom" to them. I go over and help, and sing the "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy" song all the way home.
Ah, the sweet things of life.
