How did you first find XMarks?

Pure dumb luck... You know how you go on the internet to look up something about hex head anchor bolts and the next thing you know you're thinking about buying hydraulic lifts for your 78 Pinto? Well... that WASN'T it. But I was looking for info about this crazy idea I had about wearing a kilt and the rest is history. I thank my lucky stars I found what has to be the most helpful and well mannered forum on the web!

I met Magnus in some other website, also I know Colin from there, and I always heard them talk about XMarks, so after I got my first kilt I signed up at XMarks almost a year ago now.

I saw someone at some show and he invited me to check it out. I proceeded to tell him that I started it and the rest was history.....:razz:

Hehe...

I believe I was looking to see how much I should charge for the kilts I was making, a hobby that has fallen by the wayside as my son learned to walk and destroy things instead of happily gurgling on his blanket while I sewed and sang him songs.

Now I'm lucky if I look at the sewing machine and it's not in a pile of shiny pieces while he toddles away with the screwdriver and a manic giggle.

Must... teach... son... to sew.... it's the only logical solution!

It was some time after July 2004 while I was on my first tour in Baghdad. I think I was up late one night, just surfing the web about all things kilt related. I found some humorous Harry Potter stories, and some cool shops to spend money in, and then some how I ended up at xmarks. At the end of my day, I can go online and for a few hours, I can live in a place that is not Iraq.
