    Hearing things?

    Held the door for a gent on the way into work around lunch-time today, and I could swear he muttered "Alba gu brath" under his breath on the way through. I haven't seen any other kilties here before, but who knows....could be some lurking...

    It was actually the little voice in your head saying "buy more kilts".

    I ordered another one last night. The voice was 16 hours late!

    Or perhaps it's early......

    Oh yes it is. Like at 4 am after not sleeping and thinking it's a good time to order some random ugly tartan, and not realizing you actually did it until it arrives on your doorstep. That's why all the infomercials are on at that time of the day, after the adult phone line and GGW commercials have finished, because the tired people need spatulas with radios...

    (I have ordered odd things that time of the morning, though much of that stuff I get at Walmart or CVS. (Or Jungle Jim's if I am down that way)

    Like Dryer Balls, Bra Buddy (my wife likes that one) and some blue pasta cooking microwave bowl that I use all the time to make mac and cheese.

    God only knows how many kilts with baseball team logos on them would sell if they had an infomercial on at 4 am.

    Don't give the kiltmakers who hang out here any ideas.

    I've been there mate!

    I have cupboards full of useless rubbish. Like the 'must have' perfect tomato slicer that performs not quite as it says on the tin. In fact you'd probably get a more perfect slice if you just threw the damn tomato at the wall.

    We don't eat tomatoes in our house. The clear tube that you add boiling water to was decent, except we had to boil the water first, which kinda defeated the purpose of saving any time, but we tended to only use it for hot dogs anyways. Dryer Balls worked for a while, but they seemed to wear out, not that my son stealing them to play with them didn't help...

    Now, I am considering some of the A.S.O.tv steamers, (keeping kilts in the message!) which I can buy locally and not pay shipping.
