>>2. Married the first time at 16, 3 1/2 years, he had a problem finding pants that fit right, because he couldn't seem to keep them on. Second marriage was 21 years long. William is my third husband, the first two were both named "Ray" and both were 11 years older than me...William is 11 years younger.

>>3. I'm OCD about SOME things.

OCD about the number 11?

And I agree with you about children. There's a very good reason I'm not a mother.
