    Rocky and his crew are, as always, displaying the true meaning of kindness to fellow mankind. Congratulations on your new kilt, wear it with pride. Don't forget that it is now your obligation to pay it forward to the next in line. And to Rocky job well done sir :ootd:

    And right you are about that:

    My wife and I, acting from this spirit of generosity, spoke to a men's clothier I patronize here in town. My wife has a graduate student who is about to sally forth with a good education, but not a lot of means. His wardrobe reflects his tough circumstances, so we decided to have the shop suit him up... just told him that there was a gift for him at the shop. He went in and was surprised when he was measured for custom shirt, suit and all the necessary accessories. He was measured up yesterday. The store owner was so inspired, he's decided to do this for two deserving students a year on his own dime...on and on it goes.

    Well done lad, well done indeed. If more took the time to do what is happening here all because of a single act of kindness we'd all be better for it. And yet, I have a strong suspicion that you have done this out of the goodness of your heart, and not out of a need for recognition or thanks.

    Thanks for that, but I think we all have it in us. And it really helps when someone helps kickstart our better impulses by making a gesture like Rocky's.
