Jonesing

[RockyR]

C. Making a new kilt?

I'll elaborate on that and say "waiting for the MATERIAL to arrive, then waiting for some free time (HAHAHAHAHA) to MAKE it".

I'm kind of in another category though...

Another question posed:

Does Jonesing for a new kilt add to the experience when it arrives or does it make you look elsewhere (BEFORE you buy) for a kilt that you don't have to wait as long?

Interesting point Rocky.
Well, you KNOW I come back to you because the jonesing is less painful with USAK.
But would I go elsewhere if I had to wait longer?
If the product was really good enough, or if I really wanted it enough, then I would wait.

It's a question of priorities I guess.

eg. I want my house painted. The painter I want is the best, but he's also the busiest.
If I can wait, I will, but if the work is urgent and I can't wait - I'll get someone else.

Priorities!

I must be misguided, as I have to vote B.

There is a limited budget for kilts, so the deciding what to order is far worse. Waiting is pure bliss cause I know goodies are on the way.

I have to agree w/ A and add that it just gets worse after notification of shipping arrives. I have been known to monitor UPS's website on an HOURLY basis to see if my package is making any progress. :-?

For Rocky's question: I'm willing to wait for a quality product to a point. If I know it's going to be say 6 months or more I'll find someplace else to order from (that's for any product).

I agree with A!

And in response to Rocky's question, I am willing to wait for a quality product (but it hurts!), but I might have to satisfy the desire during the wait with a kilt that I can get quickly!

But I have one other category, that is the worst for me and that is D) knowing the kilt has been shipped and waiting for it to arrive on your doorstep! Leaves one in a state of anticipation because you know its coming, but not exactly when. In that boat right now, as I know Rocky sent mine out Monday, so it SHOULD be here today, but I won't know until I get home. Come on 5:00 and USPS!

I would have to say "A". I will make the decision quickly has to who to buy from and what I want, so "B" is not that big of a deal. As to "C", I just purchased a home theater system and spent two days with the instruction book trying to get the thing to work. After a couple of rather nasty outbursts about the manufacturer and the insane technical writer, my wife called the store where we purchased the unit and a teenager showed up and had the system working perfectly within 1/2 hour. Therefore (unless Barb makes house calls) I probably won't try to make my own.
