    Be well,
    Yes, I should join the enablers list. Poor Yeti, he doesn't know what happens when i get fascinated by something.

    Sounds perfectly normal to me. I only have 25 Kilts, some with Fly Plaids, each with their own kilt pin, 6 Sporrans etc. etc. Can't see any problem..........

    I'm right there with you, brother! I started with an Ancient Gunn Sportkilt, then to a SWK Blackwatch Thriftykilt, then a SWK Standard Saffron, then I made an X-Kilt, then a Gordon that I bought on Ebay. I am getting a UK for Christmas, am getting an Alpha Kilt, and starting an order with Kathy Lare. I am currently bidding on a UK on Ebay, and am looking at Frugal Corner for another knockaround...My wife thinks I am crazy...Oh well!

    You have a problem when...



    You mortgage your home to buy kilts what if you already have a mortgage and are buying kilts
    You forgo food for a new kilt, but you still drinkint:

    Why does it have to become an addiction once it's no longer a hobby? Why can't we become professional kilt-buyers? ESPN2 has competitive cup-stacking on once in a while. Kilt-buying is just as much a sport as that! I can see it now:
    On the left, weighing in at 185lbs, the 6 ft Virginian Minion. Will his wool kilt swish him to victory or will he lag behind the speedy Polyvinyl? Hose are gartered! Ghillies tied! And they're off!
    TheKiltedWonder is searching ebay. He might find a few deals here, if he can just avoid the ever dangerous poisonous pleated skirts of Pakistan. He's got a lead now. He's looking strong with 5 minutes of bidding to go and NO! He fumbles it. It'll be hard to recover from this.

    Just a side note to all the companies out there: I'm totally up for corporate sponsorship in my Kilt-buying career

    I have 3 (to be fair, one is a baby kilt which is going to a lucky little scamp for christmas, but I count it since I paid for it, and will be getting a thrifty for christmas myself) and that doesn't sound bad, but I've already picked the next 2, and have a vague plan for 3-7. Considering I am poor hungry, student who is averaging another $300 in debt a day, buying anything other than some sort of magic critter that craps solid gold is probably a bad idea.

    I know what you mean. The mental "wish list" is ever growing.

    Just a side note to all the companies out there: I'm totally up for corporate sponsorship in my Kilt-buying career
    I like that idea. TO ALL KILTMAKERS: I will be happy to be seen out and about and generally roaming the earth in one of your fine kilts. Heck, I'll even tell people where I got it and had out business cards. For this service, I won't even charge you--all I need is one free kilt. Even better, you could provide a new kilt each month to better demonstrate the variety and quality of your wares to the public. All interested please feel free to contact me anytime.

    Considering I am poor hungry, student who is averaging another $300 in debt a day, buying anything other than some sort of magic critter that craps solid gold is probably a bad idea.
    Maybe find a way to use your kilts to make money, and use the money for the kilt fund. Hire yourself out on the lecture circuit, or become a bagpiper, or maybe even a kilted gigolo.

    This has been my solution since kilt#1 and 62 kilts later it's still effective.
    And no, I'm not an addict, I'm... uh, never mind.
