I need a cure for the jones...........

[ForresterModern]

I have a palliative treatment, although not curative for the jones.

1. Print out your favorite picture of yourself in a kilt you already own.
2. Go to a website that shows the tartan your new kilt is going to be coming in, and download that tartan jpeg, then print it out so that the tartan picture is big enough to cover the kilt in your other picture.
3. Trace the outline of your exisiting kilt from your first picture, transfer that outline to your tartan photo, and cut out an exact size replica of your existing kilt outline in the new tartan.
4. Paste the new tartan in existing kilt outline onto the existing kilt picture in the appropriate place.
5. Now, pour yourself a double of your favorite single malt and sit in your most comfortable chair and stair at your new kilt picture for hours or until you need a refill of the single malt.
6. Repeat #5 as needed.


At least by the time the damn thing arrives you should have had a steady buzz on for a couple months and you won't have to (be able to) run to the front door quite so spritely to sign for the package when it arrives.

Enjoy the JOnes.

This starts my 12 week of waiting and I am going crazy.....the man on the phone said it would be another 10 days to 2 weeks.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Patience is virtue I know but I have not been blessed with it yet.

Does anyone have a time warp they are willing to loan.......(for those who have a longer wait I am sorry.)

Says she of the fairer sex! They who wait for 9 months for their next addition.

In some things one has no choice!

I had to wait 3 weeks for my kilted skirt (which arrived yesterday) so I can understand.

(Already thinking about the next Celtic addition so I can understand that to )

Peace be with you Brother! Since we try and live each day the way it was made, may I suggest a retreat of prayer and contemplation?

Perhaps deep in the woods with some dryflys and jigs?

I waited 9 months for a kilt once it was a deadly wait though once I got it everything was worth it.

I googled, I yahood, I check the dictionary, the encyclopedia, the astral charts, and the homeless guy down the street. There is no cure for jonesing. You can only avoid by not purchasing anything. And, I'm sure that's not an option for this of group of merry makers.

ROFL That made my day!

try waiting 18 months for a kilt...!! I had the fabric in hand ready to send to a kilt maker and then got sent to India.... then had to send it to the kilt maker and wait for the 16-20 weeks for completion....

However, I have found the longer the jones, the sweeter the kilt when you finally strap it on.

Hopefully my Carolina box-pleat will be here in time for Christmas. How far away is that?
