Dan's Story
After school I floated from job to job as well as (at times) town to town. Had many wonderful (also some unusual) experiences and a few bad breaks along the way.
I discovered (woke up in hospital) around 20 years ago that I had epilepsy and had to stop working. It can get very boring sitting around the house so I bought a computer. Computer without the internet is just as boring so a connection was made. Wow! I have to take a moment and ask if anyone remembers how cool it was when Atari came out? If I wanted to know something it was at my fingers. Then I started to use chat programs. You can find people that want to chat about everything, even a few things nobody should even think about.
Through my old friend Todd Bullis I learned about mIRC, one of the many different chat programs. In fact Todd was a manager for one of the chat-rooms so I used to hang out in there sometimes. In there I met people from all over the U.S. a...Expand for more
s well as Europe. From France, Belgium, Austria, Spain, and Nederland which most of you call Holland.
There are more but the important one is Nederland. A woman I chatted with often was coming to the states for a vacation so I asked (jokingly) if she was going to come visit me. I will make a long story short and say that she changed her plans, came to me first. Then together we drove through (and did a bit of the tourist thing) Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and spent a week with Todd n family, Nevada, Colorado, and back across SD. She got on the plane and went home. Before all of this I stressed ahead of time it meant nothing, was just a vacation. Within a couple of days I asked her to marry me. Guess where I am now and will celebrate 17 years of marriage to my wife Marleen on Nov. 13. Yes we got married on a friday.
That's all for now, thanks for reading and don't hesitate to write.
