Confronting the objections of loved ones

[bear]

"The occasional flash" Bear? well no, it's not acceptable for me if it can be avoided, but accidents happen. I don't want to bring the kilt into disrepute more than I can help. There are already too many jokes about what's under it.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
I call it hen teasing.

Bear I'm tempted to say that you must have a few very interesting women in Vancouver, the ones I know here tend to be quite conservative in dress, long skirts to the ankle type lasses, some younger ones like to expose their bellys a lot but we are talking about "objections from loved ones" not the loose women of the city.

So "goose and gander" doesn't quite apply here, I take your meaning tho

There is no better place to be kilted than Vancouver.
It is renowned for the beauty of it's women and they all seem to love a man in a kilt.

I have no objections from loved ones. My wife loves me in a kilt. Of course, she is Scottish/Irish/Welsh. That might be part of it.

Well Bear, if I were looking for a wife i would be heading to Vancouver now (in a kilt of course).

I am patient with my wife, it cannot be an easy thing to accept such a sudden change in a husband as to have him wanting to wear a kilt all the day.

Well Graham, I think you've hit it right on the head! I certainly don't expect my wife to switch on the dime, more along the lines of acceptance instead of badgering me to burn my kilts and just wear trousers. I realize I'll need to be patient with her as well, and patience is not my strong point... However, some of my family members have been asking if I were going to wear the kilt over Easter! I'll have my wife take the "A questioniere for the lassies" quiz, although I can predict what her answers will be.

I hadn't intended to wear a kilt to the inlaws for Easter dinner. The wife insisted.
Eat your hearts out, all.
BWWWWAHAHAHAHAHA!

K-Chef,

Maybe you could get your wife to watch Wallace and Gromit in "The Wrong Trousers." Then she'd know how evil trousers really are (and penguins!)

That has got to be tuff. My wife goes along with just about any new thing I want to get into. I think she just figures it another one of my phases and that I will go through it and maybe the next one will not be so weird. But with the kilt thing she has been kinda cool about it, mostly cause she kinda got the hots for this fellow on a show she watches on Tech T.V. who wears a green Utlikilt about once a week and she really diggs that. So when I exspressed an interest in wearing a kilt, she was all for it.
She is still a little hesitant about my interest in some facial pearcings, but I'm wearing her down. Just remember give her a little time and a lotta love and perhaps she will mellow.

Ummm...you want piercings, or you want HER to get them...? If it's the latter, I can kinda understand her reluctance......especially if you're telling her, "We can save a lot of money if I do them for you right here at home, honey".

[Ded N. Buried]

Funny there Celt...
My face not her's. her beautiful face needs no decoration at all. However about three dumbells in the left eyebrow and a small spike below my bottom lip, professionally done of course, would just look cool. They would freak at work, but aw well they'll get over it, they always do.

thanx...Ded N. Buried
