Could be a guy, girl, fish, car, or whatever.
One of mine was applying to amazon.com in 1997, when it was still in it’s infancy, and not getting the job. I’m sure I would have made a small fortune.

A gentlman never kisses and tell’s!!!!!!
On time I was eating these really good grapes. One of them fell and rolled under the oven. I never saw that grape again.
Well I have a feeling that I’m going to have a story of someone who got away pretty soon. There’s this girl that I like and I see her every Sunday at my Sunday school classes. Well this weekend is our last class, and I have a feeling that it’s going to be the last time that I’m going to see her. I’ve liked her for a while, but I never really had a chance to get to know her because I’m so shy when I’m around her.
Teejay, what away to go!!
@axlefoley, What do you mean?
Well, I married the woman of my dreams, who is pregnant with our daughter, I have a ‘55 Bel Air, and I have caught a 40 pound catfish, and at 28 I’m still skateboarding after 13 years. I guess I’ve got all I could ask for.
It’s not to late. Fancy loseing out on something you want.That you are to scared to do anything about. I except that I will lose out on things that are out of my control. TEEJAY
It is better to love, then then never have been be loved!
Their still is time. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought Apple stock at $40 and sold it when it dropped to $20.
@gail I would say that more than qualifies as “The one that got away”!
How much would that stock be worth today?
@bulb; what is the sound of me falling on my sword? I am too humiliated to say. But I will add that I bought Microsoft at its highest, kept it and now IT is selling at below $30. As PT Barnum said, “There’s one born every day.”
And I was trading online at the time, in order to save broker’ s fees. BIG mistake.
@gail At least you have Milo the Magnificent!
I don’t know what else to say, except maybe Microsoft will make a comeback.
@Bulb; from your lips…. I should probably let Milo pick out common stocks now with a claw mark. It may be just as sensible as my methods.
Gail, you’ve done it again! The tears of laughter feel GREAT! Hilarious, and uncommonly witty! You’re the BEST!
a few years back there was this guy I was seeing for I’d say about a month. I have a hard time putting my whole heart out there, and I broke up with him. a little more of a week passed and I could not stop thinking about him. I finally got up the nerve to tell him when I found out he was dating someone else.
Its been about two years and they’re still together. i never fully got over it.

Don’t you just hate it when that happerns. Plenty more fish in the sea.
Dry your eye’s love.
@gailcalled: can you alert us when you sell stock, so the rest of us know when to buy it?
@cw; with friends like this…..who needs “Comedy Central”?
They all got away. That says two things about me. First, I’m slow. Second, I have a lot of stories to tell.
this girl i knew so close then she moved and i saw her again about 3 years later ever since then i haven’t seen her :[ :3 im okay
