This is why I ask my wife to hide the credit cards....

**Kilted Taper** · 27th July 06, 01:23 PM

So after a little bit of a debate with my better half I was given the OK to order a semi-trad from USAK and taking advantage of his offer. I really liked one tartan, she liked another and we have a link to the one she liked so we agreed upon that (MacIntyre). Called Rocky yesterday, they were out of town. Just called him back....

While on the phone, I'm searching the mill's web site and I keep going back to the tartan I liked (Cladish)...Suddenly, from I don't know where....I speak the words... "Can I order a second kilt while I'm on the phone with you".....DOH. No turning back. Two kilts just ordered, one semi-trad and one casual. That's in addition to the casual order I had place back on June 30th....

The cards are going back to the wife tonight.

you know you have a real shopping problem when you trust your wife to keep the credit cards because she will use them less than you!

good news is...you have two new kilts on the way!

That's why my wife took my card away, I'll get it back when I pay it off, or she goes to work

.

Congrats on the new kilts!

You should have no problem giving the cards to your wife- just memorize the numbers first.

Hmm..my problem is that I'm the one who controls all the money so she's none the wiser except that more and more kilts keep showing up in the closet. Oops!

And not to take this too off topic, but what is it with that Cladish tartan? First Ron gets one, the I see it and like it, my wife sees it and also likes it, now KT. Is this some kind of universal tartan??

I've got two card numbers memorized, including the little 3 digit code on the back of each.

Yep. I gave mine to my wife, and found out that I had the number memorized without actually making an effort to memorize it!! I might forget what day of the week it is, for forget how to spell "the", but I sure can remember that credit card number - it's like a kilt life-line number.

That ALMOST happened with me when I ordered my Ireland's National last week from Rocky. ALMOST.

How'd your wife take it?

OK, time for some discpline on my part. I had meant to go over to the MM site and look at this tartan. I have spells of lapsed short term memory. So, I had forgotten about it since the last one of you ordered and posted about it. Well, after seeing the wave of them ordered... I'm frightened. If ALL three of you guys like it (Ron, KCW, Taper) I am most certainly doomed. Maybe I'll go look when I don't have my card OR a phone nearby.
