Great compliment

What?? Ya mean free drinks come with the kilt? I should have done this years ago.

Kilt appeal, and everyone wants to be nice to the guy wearing a Kilt, as they get all the attention, and some of it might rub off on them.

if I had known that in college, I probably could have completed my degree without taking out any loans!

hmm...I wonder if the government really knows how many bars they are keeping open through stafford loans?

...yesterday afternoon, after the very nice looking lady at Subway said "I really like your kilt", twice, with a definite emphasis on the "really", she gave me lots of extra turkey and a free cookie.

I wore my MacDonald 6-yard (not a tank, but definitely a humvee) all day yesterday at school (workday...can't wear it with students on campus), then to the community college for a three hour class yesterday evening. Three ladies in the class next door came to my room and asked lots of questions, showered me with compliments, and one said that she intended to get one for her husband.

All in all a very nice day...

...and I certainly wish I had done this thirty years ago. I can't remember ever not wanting a kilt, but knew that I couldn't afford one and the accessories. Now that I can make most of my gear and have discovered modest-priced garments, I'm ready to make it a very regular part of my life.

I appreciate the class of a full-wool hand-stitched tank, but I hope I never get to the point where I snub the less expensive alternatives that allow folks like me to participate in my heritage.

Looks like I picked the wrong century to quit drinking!
