    Skirt meets Kilt

    Today I was out getting some last minutes things done at the college I teach at. I was wearing an original UK and at the cashier's office to sign up for my parking pass when a really good looking youngish woman confronts me and said: "Really great kilt". I responded "Really great skirt" (It was a wonderfully well-worn short skirt in black) and then we both gave two thumbs up to each other. I went away feeling that something wonderful had just happened because two human being chose to acknowledge each other and realized that they both had respect for the way they looked and the people who look at them. It's rather wonderful what a difference less than an minute can make!

    I think the word respect said it all. Well done.

    No... she gave him a thumb. Where, I don't know.

    I'm invoking a rule from other threads...

    What about the pcitures? If you don't have pictures, it didn't happen!

    So, do I get to change my kilt count when I have saved half the money to buy my next or when I get all the money together and actually order it? Either way, I'm getting close to 1.5!
