As the locals say here in the rezlands, "Aho!" and "Ah heh heh" or, You are SO right GMan and Thank You.

My thanks to Steve Ashton for pointing this site out to me back when...my bachelor cave is filled with much more tartan today than it was a few years ago.

And, I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here....

You lifted that from Yogi Berra, right?

Great thread Glen! One we have come to expect from you. I will echo another's comments in that I found kilts and this forum as a result of a low point in my life. Nothing was in my control and so I grasped at what I wore as a way to exert some control, to the extent of tackling making kilts accepted at my place of work, even though at the time I had only worn a kilt once or twice in the comfort(?) of my home!

Anyway, you all were there to share in my journey to make kilts a dailt part of my life and now I can't imagine never wearing them.

Hats off (and sporrans up?) to Hank for his vision and dedication to his own roots and deciding to found this forum. It is a haven for those who want to explore kilt wearing, regardless of reason. As has been said many times, you don't need to be a cowboy to wear cowboy boots, a baseball player to wear abaseball cap, rugby player to wear a football shirt, or a Scot to wear a kilt!

Actually Freedom Lover,

"I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here"

I got from a recoveing alcoholic in Phoenix when I first got sober. He had a lot of sober years and he'd say that at the end of an AA meeting. And we'd laugh and agree because we did too.

Now maybe HE got it from Yogi Berra....don't know....

But it sure fits for me and this forum too.

Yes it does. In spades. (BTW, all I meant was that it is a Berraism, and a good one).

Actually I think the Berraism was; "I feel a whole lot more like I do right now than I ever have before." (I had a college roommate who quoted that often.)

But back to the topic of this thread. I joined several months ago, almost immediately after coming across this site. What a wealth of information! I have learned so much about kilting here and met some very interesting, (term losely used,) people on line and a few in person. Thank you to all.
Respectfully,
David

I have belonged to this forum for about 2 months. Always wanted a kilt and rented one at halloween. Since then purchsed a casual from USA Kilts and pleased with it. Just ordered one from Burnett-Struth in Barrie, Canada after hearing good words about the BC tartan kilt. It is a 5 yard 16 oz. casual wool and made on site. Look forward to Christmas and New Years wear. Enjoy the content of this forum and look forward to it on a daily basis.
