Yesterday I stopped over at my sons. I was outside with the grand daughters and one of his heighbors told him there was some guy in a skirt playnig with his girls. He laughed and told them it was his dad and I was wearing a kilt. He warned them that calling it a skirt in front of me was a severe health risk.

His neighbor was asking so many questions I was starting to wonder. I went through all the usual stuff about comfort and all then he said his wife would kill him if he tried to wear one. I told him that she might surprise him. Mostly women like a man in a kilt. I got his brain going in high gear I think.

I gave him one of my cards with the list of kilt makers so who knows.

A true missonary at work Bubba ...I've been thinking of card carrying too ..just havn't got around to it yet.When my bear comes I'll print off some from his site to carry

I just used the business card template in MS Word and typed up a list of kilt makers with their URLs and printed it on heavy paper stock. Very simple to do.

Bubba,

I have MS Word, but I have never (knowingly) used it! I've just taken a look at it but cannot find a Business Card template, nor does "Help" lead me to it - where should I be looking?

Sorry to be a pain!

Ham, When MS Word is open, you can find the business card template by doing the following:

Tools > Letters and Mailings > Envelopes and Labels

From there make sure the "Labels" tab is selected, then hit "options". In the "Product number" window there is a scrollable (sp?) list that shows the various types of labels you can print out. Select a business card style and have fun!

If you have any problems let me know and I'll help if I can.

It is nice to hear about the care and concern of neighbors, and because of that we may know have another kilted gentleman in the world, congratulations Bubba!

Thank you very much Al. It is obviously 'deeper in' than I thought. I found the "Labels" tab but never dreamed to find Business Cards in there as well! Oh, the innocence of old age!!! I have some sheets of blank business labels ready to be printed upon, so that's good.

I hope I don't need to get back to you, but thanks for the offer anyway.

My pleasure, Ham. And please don't think that "old age" has any factor in computer knowledge. I probably only use 1% of the programs or power that my computer has. I mess around with it on occasion just to see what certain things do. I've somehow managed to keep from blowing it up, so all is right in the world.
