after the thread last week regarding ebay and purchasing a kilt, i did a little follow up and decided to contact Stillwater. i read a lot of good comments regarding Stillwater here on the board. don't think i ran across one negative note.

so i decided to order a Black Watch, had the mrs. all prepped for it. spent a couple extra days thinking about it and dog-gone-it, had to blow my kilt wad on two new ceiling lamp fixtures and a new bathroom mirror that the mrs. wanted.

drats ...... how soon is christmas? graham, are you positive there isn't a Santa?

ambrose.

btw, i'm impressed with Jerry @ Stillwater. and Jerry if you peek in, don't give up on me!

i'm sorry and saddend

for your loss.But you spent too much time thinking about it insted of doing it.But at least you did something nice for your wife and I'm sure she will remember your gallant sacrifice when some future occasion arrises and she can do something for you. When you do get your kilt as I know you will (note: positive thinking)tell us about it.What kilts do you currently have now?

That whole scenario sounds pretty familiar to me. I've been there many times. In my case it's usually the car, the dentist, an appliance, taxes, or some other incidental that comes along just in time to flatten your bank account. Dave's got the right approach - buy now, think later! (but not too hard.

BANG! You all have hit the nail on the head.

But our time will come ...oh yes our time will come.

Never mind Ambrose, you're young, there is yet time to ignor light fixtures and step into the light of a new kilt.
gotta keep the missus happy, that's more important!

the bad news is that santa is a myth, but that doesn't mean that nice things may not come your way.

No Santa!?

Sorry jack, it must be a shock, but I know you are man enough to get through it.

The Easter Bunny will be upset to hear this!

Ah, yes, but there are still birthdays. My wife asked me if I wanted another kilt for my birthday. Do bears crap in the woods?

Get ready for another order Bear. How's your supply of Buchanan tartan?
