100 trillion eh, that’s a measly 276 billion US $.
*blink, blink* ROTFLMAO!!! Aww, man, that's perfect! I am SO taking that!
I first heard her music a few years ago and I quite agree.
No, it wasn’t a dating site, it was a sci-fi forum. However, I will emphasize I had left the forum before she arrived (after playing an elaborate April Fools joke that made me persona non grata)... someone got the idea to post photos of the posters and when I saw her photo, I fell for her. It took me many months to finally speak to her and I reactivated a defunct sci-fi forum and got some of her online acquaintances to get her to come over and it went well from there (you know the rest).
It’s funny you mentioned a woman moving to Scotland. There was a lady here in TN (also on those forums) who also found a guy from Scotland, too. Mine and that woman’s were the two most prominent pairings (although mine was a seemingly more improbable one).
From what I understand, FR’s own JohnnyZ had success with a dating website and has since gotten hitched.
If memory serves this girl was from South Carolina, and a redhead so she would at least look the part in Scotland.
I’m kinda responsible for setting them up, she had stop posting on the forum and one day I randomly private messaged some posters I remembered that had stopped showing up, this sent her an email notification and she came back. I suggested they name the kid after me, this was met with no response. ;p
