Thank you for all the links, gentlemen. What a treat!

I'm old school enough that I don't think to listen on line. I go to Dad's collection of thousands upon thousands of recordings that he has...

In the early 60s I learned to press Dad's army uniforms using brown paper bags. I reused the bags because I trimmed them to fit his uniform. The crease was beautiful! Paper bags are almost obsolete....

slight thread hijack...

As a child, I occasionally watched my Dad doing this - it was so precise and a joy to watch. But I didn't enjoy listening to him use his voice in the armoury stairwell - it...

Aren't grandchildren wonderful! You have a beautiful family, Barb, and best of all, you can do all the fun stuff and be the main cheering section for them all without all the hard stuff of parenting...

Congratulations! :clap::clap::clap:

It can be so difficult to bring all this together.

Enjoy the process - there is nothing like it!

Is there a link where we can eavesdrop? :pray:

We obviously need to work on our stores on this side of the pond. I haven't seen a chair anywhere in a fabric store in all my years sewing - not in Canada or in the USA. Maybe they're worried the...

Happy Birthday Mike_Oettle!

Wishing you a wonderful day today, and a fulfilling, healthy and prosperous coming year!

Age is a matter of the mind,
if you...

Have a wonderful time!
You are probably at the airport now, so you'll read this later...
Please take lots pictures of yourselves, and of course we would like to see the Kilt.
After all your...

Gentlemen, this is for you - but please share after you have finished, your ladies will enjoy it too!

I thought that many of you could relate to this. Many of you sew, or have women in your life...

I'm sure she would have given it a pass if she had the choice. Hope she is doing well, there is a long road ahead of you both. Physiotherapy is always a challenge but in the end it will be the best...

Silence is Golden by the Four Seasons

What is the next step?

:hooray:Congratulations! :hooray:

Enjoy your summer going kilted whenever you feel like it!

Have a vacation, :cool: and then you will be ready to tackle all those things that you put off until...

And it all works! The tones and hues all have the same value so everything goes together just fine, Richard. :clap:
The colour of the jacket goes with the light stripe in the tartan. The shirt is...

I'm already chuckling, Richard, thank you for posting it. Dead give-away - the fellow on the left doesn't have his kilt on 'straight'.

The more I read your posts the more I learn from you. Keep...

Glen,

I tried to PM you and received this message:

McMurdo has chosen not to receive personal messages or may not be allowed to receive personal messages. Therefore you may not send your...

Totally understand why. Lesson learned and you will do better next time out.

You have much to look forward to, and lots of time with Alan. He's been there and can commiserate when you need it. He...

The clothing is probably all legitimate even if the 'soldiers' aren't.

Thank you for the confirmation about the black button, Anne. It makes me wonder if anyone at the 'photo shoot' knew the...

The fit of the second jacket is terrible through the shoulders. The QM would make sure the shoulders fit and the soldier would have to hem sleeves as needed. Notice both sets of sleeves are not the...

Enjoy the break, Alan!

I hope that you will be preparing your own press release, Alan. This way half of the equation is in your hands. At least you will know that any errors in print will have been caused by the editors.

When I lived in PA, everyone teased me for saying 'a-boot' instead of 'a-bowt'. No one commented on my 'buttons', even in my Home Ec class...

Glen, now you are getting me to the drooling stage - I LOVE it...I wish the Wildcat tartan was available...

Love Shakespeare, but I'll have to leave that one to you, Geoff, I must have missed school that day...:)

Love your sign, Father Bill! I'd listen to your sermon any day...with tea and biscuits, of course! :cool:

I have the family Bible which is printed in Hebrew and Greek only. I was given this...

In our family, 'baby talk' was banned! It is hard enough learning to speak proper English, so why subject a baby to all that gibberish.

Now if we can just forget all the bad habits we've picked...
