1. Yes, I was raised on a dairy farm

Earleen part one (pronounced Erleen)
I'm not sure why I insist on being so different from most girls, it's almost as though I was doomed from birth when my dad named me after his great grandmother. Earleen. Not Earleen with a middle name I could have used, just Earleen, who names their kid Earleen in the twentieth century? I've walked around with a chip on my shoulder most of the time, not always in a menacing way, but I'm unwilling to suffer fools and often say as much. Mother told me for years, and still does, my biggest enemy is an inch below my nose, my big mouth.
It all began as I entered puberty, prior to those years other than my odd name I was like every other gangly silly giggling girl. We were all so excited about the changes our bodies were going through. As though on cue the five of us closest friends began to develop over the summer between seventh and eighth grade, we tittered and giggled and laughed, all silly school girl stuff, with one small problem, well, it actually became a big problem. I was growing faster than the others, some were jealous, some were upset, I just wished I was normal. Entering my freshman year, I had a chip on my shoulder a block wide, all because my body seemed so out of proportion with my friends and you know how kids love to tease.
My growth seemed to peek the summer after I turned eighteen, I was and have remained a 34DD for many years. I'm five foot eight and weigh a hundred thirty five in a wet wool sweater, my waist is slender but not small, my butt and legs are what I consider average, I keep my hair long by choice tying or bunching it tightly when I work.
I think my face is cute, at least no one has said differently, I wear glasses and wish I didn't, but hell, things could be so much worse, why complain. Because I work in the trades I tend to *dress down* if you will compared to most female attire, that is unless I want to go out and get laid, then I wear something that I think is sexy. I never seem to have trouble getting someone to crawl between my legs when I'm all horned up, so I can't be too ugly. I'd always gotten along with my mother and sister but just barely, I were used to the fact that I had always been a tomboy, but the choice I made after graduation was something they didn't see coming and when they found out they went apeshit, which only added to my internal fires.
The old man was happy and told me to ignore the naysayers, especially those I was related to. You see, I had enlisted in the Marines for a three-year stint, with the goal of a discharge and the GI Bill to further my education. No, I didn't become some ninja warrior, black ops killing machine, I learned all the same self-defense stuff everybody learns in basics but after that I was a clerk at the battalion level, happy to have made E-4 by the time I was discharged. I had discharge papers in hand, I was 21 and ready to take the next step, a step that once again pissed my mother off while at the same time it made the old man proud, my grandfather was an electrician, my dad was an electrician, and now I was going to be an electrician.
Dad had originally hoped my older brother would follow in his footsteps, that would never be, my brother didn't know which end of the screwdriver was the working end and didn't want to learn. On the other hand, tools always seemed comfortable in my grip, I'd been helping my pa on jobsites since I was a teen. Keith, (my brother) pussied out and became an accountant, eventually marrying a domineering nasty bitch who controls every aspect of his life, he is a pathetic example of manhood, I wouldn't be surprised if he lets her keep his dick in a cockcage. Whenever we're together as a family my older sister disgusts me because she looks and acts like a slut while my brother is a panty waist personified. Mother and dad are ... well, mother and dad.
With the GI Bill I entered a two-year tech school which promised the opportunity to test for a journeyman's rating upon completion, whether you passed or not was entirely up to you. In my mind this was much faster than a five-year apprenticeship with an electrical firm, if I passed and worked hard, I'd be eligible to test for my Masters in two and a half years after graduating. I passed my test upon graduation and was fortunate enough to work with my dad, they had landed a large contract with a home builder wiring all the homes in a subdivision, seventy-four of them.
It wasn't often that I worked with my dad directly, it was generally one of the other masters, with most of them being older men I got along well, they were there to work and so was I, it was never the older guys that gave me heartburn, it was the younger ones, even some of the younger married guys. At the age of 24 you'd think I would no longer have to put up the sexual innuendo's, the double speaks and suggestive comments left hanging in mid-air. A guy named Vinny, the father of two young kids, had the audacity to tell me he'd like to *break me in* and show me what a real man was like in bed. Little did he know I'd been anything but celibate while in the corps. When I told my dad about Vinny he laughed and told me how to get even at the company picnic coming up in a month. Dad pointed out his wife when I arrived, the rest was left to me. After a beer and a brat, I sidled next to her as she watched her little ones playing in the wading pool.
"Hi, are you Mrs. Waitlen? I'm Earleen, I work with Vinny, maybe he's mentioned my name."
The look I got was less than favorable. "Yes, he's mentioned your name, says you're the hot new apprentice he's teaching."
I started to chuckle and then noticed her tense demeanor. "Mrs. Waitlen, you need to know a few things. I'm not an apprentice, I'm a journeyman just like your husband. He's an ass and has little regard for you or your children, what sort of family man tells a single girl he wants to screw her? One more thing, there is no way I will ever go to bed with anyone I work with, I don't shit where I eat. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you these things, but you need to know."
I figured I'd be getting a piece of her mind, but it was the opposite.
"That son of a bitch. I knew he was thinking of cheating on me if he hasn't already. I know you didn't want to be the one to tell me, but I'm glad you did, now I can deal with this head on. I don't fault you, you're a pretty girl and all, but you shouldn't have to worry about being hit on at work."
We nodded as I walked away. Vinny was no longer on my jobsite after that incident, within six months he wasn't even working for my dad. I'd seen his wife at the gas station once, she smiled and told me he hadn't been unfaithful yet, but she was sure he intended to be before she confronted him with what I said. Dad said they'd moved away to a larger city. By my twenty sixth birthday I was ready to take my masters exam, which I did and passed with some cushion, the test has fifty questions and you have four hours to complete it without any aids. I got 43 right, which was well above the standard you had to achieve.
I'd had a few lovers while in the Marines, nothing long term, a few months of banging pelvises was enough to carry me over for long periods of time. After my discharge it was basically the same, I dressed down all the time, especially at work, when I was horny, I tossed on something inviting and went to the bars looking. The scenario was the same, a couple months of knockin boots would be enough to tide me over for long periods of time. I found that once out of the Marines I preferred older guys, I don't mean fifties-sixties, usually about ten years older than me. They were more assured, not clingy, didn't have mommy issues, had no desire to get too attached most of the time, the bonus being they weren't in a hurry to get off. Love making or simply down and dirty sex with them was an occasion, not a quick hookup. Most of the older guys wanted to make sure I had gotten off at least once before they did, it was an entirely different world from the young ones who only wanted to pump and dump.
My parent's home and business were in Portland Maine. Once I'd passed my master's I began talking to dad about broadening my horizons in other places, thinking I might like to move. He and I had talked about it casually for a few weeks before mother got wind of what I was thinking and being true to her bitchy ways blew up. How could I leave them after all they'd done for me? What an ungrateful child I'd become. When was I going to stop screwing older men, settle down and have some babies? It went on for a half hour before dad finally barked, "Susan, be quiet."
I was pissed as I stood glaring at her. "Thanks ma, you just made up my mind, I'll be moving within the month. Dad you and I can talk tomorrow."
I wanted to slam the door as I left but decided not to, that's what immature people do. I stopped at Whisky Corner for a beer to drown my sorrows, it's also where I met Maurice and decided to let my hair down, telling myself getting laid was what I needed. He was at the far end of the bar nursing a tap as I walked toward him, I noticed he glanced over his shoulder in the other direction, probably wondering what I was headed for, or who. There was no one beyond him and he looked at me puzzled.
"Is this stool taken? If not do you mind if I sit here?" I asked.
"Aint nobody sittin there and I don't see no name on it, sit wherever ya like missy."
I loved his southern drawl and long drawn out words. I extended my hand to shake his, "My names Earleen, most call me Andi. You aren't from around here are you?"
"Figgered that out all by yerself did ja? What is it I can do ya fer?"
