Looking at the way her outfit was put together, one does get the impression that she was on holiday in the country and just stepped into the room to greet a younger acquaintance on her way to a job...

If you were in the Portland, Oregon vicinity, I would recommend John Helmer, Haberdasher. Of course, if you are working with a more restricted budget you might consider the one I picked up from REI...

All I can say is that I see a bit of "Rose City" influence there. All that is missing is a bicycle.

Happy anniversary Glen. Coming up on my own11th in few weeks.

I did "The Hamish" at the wedding of a longtime friend, (a MacDonald of all things) to a Sicilian gentleman. John felt that I had a sense of humour compatible with his, and was glad that Nancy...

I checked with my cousin who is a piper, and owns smallpipes and shuttle pipes as well GHB's. She suggests the following Facebook groups:
Smallpipes
Scottish Smallpipes for sale or trade
Playing...

I agree with the time flies comments. I had celebrated my own 1st anniversary the month before you joined. Yet it hardly feels that it has been that long. Let us hope that the next ten years pass...

Like many of us who have been on Xmarks for any substantial length of time, I have been acquainted with the legend though his posts. In my case, I joined a mere ten years ago this month. Five months...

I have gotten a kick out of him or Jenny or Jamie responding with FaceBook 'likes' to the comments I have made over the series so far (Even if they are made a day or so after the event). It shows...

Or maybe it's his cousin, Downy.38580

For those that enjoy his music, but do not follow him on Facebook, Dougie MacLean has been streaming live solo performances from his studio in the Old School in Butterstone, Scotland. These have...

It's been a while since I've seen some, but have you checked with a supplier of fly tying materials? Perhaps some boar fur might suffice for the interim.

Oorah Steve. Job well done.:clap:

Not sure if this the what you are looking for, but the gent from this firm claimed to be the purveyor of haggis to the English Consul to the U.S. . Lamb's, etc.

Wish I could get away with wearing one at my hospital. However, we have a "no bare legs" policy when working. (Someone claimed it was because of our state OSHA rules). On the plus side, it could be a...

I found that story a bit ruff.

Thank you gentle sir. Who knows, as I progress in this field, I may cross paths with you and the FHAG at one of our western conferences. If so, we should be easy to spot. :lol:

Very nice Panache. Which veterinary conference was it? (I've just completed my first year working in practice as a vet assistant, un-kilted of course).

What did the mathematician say when she saw her parrot had escaped? . . . Polygon.

You picked a fine time to leave us, you seal.
:roll:

Still going like a house afire. Was feeling run down at times, even taking what I thought were naps during my breaks. Then had a physical with blood tests two weeks ago. Surprise! I'm also a boarder...

As many may remember, I was laid off after almost 15 years with the previous employer nearly 4 years ago. Since then I have volunteered with the local humane society, and went back to school to...

Only if the message self-destructed in five seconds. :wink:

Make the count three.

I just checked. We do not have a Ghost Rider. Nor do we have a Maverick, or Goose. We do, however, have an Iceman, even if he hasn't posted for a couple of years.:roll:

Actually, the Oregon State mascot is the Beaver (also the State of Oregon's official state animal). The football stadium at Oregon State University is currently known as Reser Stadium, after the...
