She also encouraged me to buy a set of pipes which I am learning to play, and NEVER discourages me -- quite the contrary -- from wearing a kilt whenever and wherever. Now my ex-wife, not so much.... Hmmm, I wonder if there's a connection there?
I hear ya. My ex-wife was generally spiteful and abusive (it's easy to punch a man in the face when you know he won't swing back) and hateful of everything that brought me joy.
I HAD a kilt. It was a nice 5 yard wool kilt in Buchanan tartan. While I was at work one day she cut it up, kid you not, to make a handbag for herself and a wee little bonnet for her mother's scots terrier. One of many reasons she's an "ex-wife" now.... Lost my shirt on it, but I'd do it again.

Do you know why divorce costs so much?

Because it's so darn WORTH IT!!!
