The Water Cooler – Tell Us About “The One That Got Away.” It Could Be A Car, A Relationship, A Job, An Investment – Whatever Still Makes You Think, What If?

…. have 2 … first had a ’67 Mustang FB GT with a built 390 will all the options (tilt wheel, A/C, stereo system, etc. – even the rare color combo of metallic silver with red deluxe interior which gave you the red insert chrome mag wheels …. have never seen one like that again ever… sold it during the “gas crisis” of the early ’70s…. second… had an opportunity get in early on Microsoft – then Apple stocks … thought they would never catch on 🙁

There was a guy i met who had a very sweet dog. We were friends for a couple years, very briefly lovers (for 10 minutes), then it got awkward and now we’re nothing. I miss his friendship most of all.

A Lotus 11, around 1967. It was complete and in good shape, except the 1100cc Coventry Climax engine was completely disassembled and in a big cardboard box. The car weighed around 900 pounds and was beautiful. I was an engineering student with a part time job and realized that I didn’t have the time to invest in it, and maybe not the skills at that time to assemble the engine and get it running properly at that point in my life. I wish I had bought it.

My wife, we met when we were teenagers and I liked everything about her.
Her long blond hair, her pretty face, her wonderful personality, and her
sense of humor. She’s gone now, cancer took her at the young age of 35,
but she left me with a beautiful daughter.

When l was married my then husband and l bought an investment townhouse in Benicia with my husband’s friend and business partner in 1982
In a few years later when my husband and I were getting divorced, he asked me to sign papers so the place could be sold. I did so without questions, not realizing how real estate appreciates in Ca
today my share would be close to $200.000
In 1970 after dating someone for 2 years that l was madly in love with, l broke it off. I mean for it to last, l thought it he cared about me he would come back. I broke it off because he was unreliable. However, looking back l was not without fault, l was a terrible flirt and we were both a little guarded. A few weeks later l met my ex-husband, first we were friends, then some more he pursued me, had a good job and was dependable
We moved to New Orleans together, from NYC
After 1 and a 1/2 year my ex was transferred to NY I stayed with a girlfriend for a few weeks. Steve came to see me, wanted to get back together, l still had feelings for him, but my guard was up, l couldn’t go back. We stayed in touch over the years, he was always there for me. I even went to visit him in Florida twice, by then we were just friends l don’t think our marriage would have worked and l got over it but never forgot him, and l think the same for him. On 2017 l heard he was in poor health, l texted him “thinking of you, remembering the good times”. He called left a message how nice it was to hear from me and to call him when l had time to talk. When l called him he was heavily medicated and didn’t know who l was. He passed away shortly after that.
