Does it get worse ?

**wyldathart** · 27th March 09, 05:22 AM

This is how my day goes. I get up, check my email to see if any of my orders have notified me of any deliveries. Then I go to the three different websites to check my orders there. First is Scotweb to check on my kilt ( still waiting on stock as of ten minutes ago LOL ) Then I head over to Rocky's website and check there ( still pending as of 5 minutes ago HAHA ) The other sites don't list orders so I can't check on them.
My question is this ! Does the jones get worse ? I think I have it bad but I would hate to think it gets worse.

Keeping up with the Jones's. Get used to it---it does NOT get better, but you do learn to tolerate it, until you get taunted by pictures of your kilt during the manufacture process, or changing delivery dates, or a package in the mail that appears to be something kilt related but actually is not.

It is like a legal yet abusable substance habit----it can be great fun as long as you keep it under control and in moderation (yeah, right).

HAHAHA it actually feels worse than when I stopped smoking several years ago LOL

Waiting is a terrible thing! I am awaiting my first real kilt made to myself, and it's litterly killing me.

But look at the bright side: When you finally get a big package in the mail, containing a kilt. You will be singing with fairies in joy. I have about 4-5 weeks to wait for my own, so I know the hard times you are going trough.

Unfortunately, i am becoming so addicted that I am now starting to jones right AFTER I get a new kilt or other accessory, because I am already anticipating ordering the NEXT kilt or accessory and can't hardly wait to be able to place the order, pending being able to finance it or justify it to the better half. Jonesing to order so that real jonesing can then take over. Agony, agony.

The only way to cope with the new kilt jones is to SHOP for accessories...on line, at highland games...retail....

It works...taking time to figure out what accessories you'll "need" helps too...

Ron gives the best advice. You must consume your time in planning your next purchase, making your next purchase, shopping for your next purchase, and buying stuff.

Otherwise, the wait will consume you!

Just think of all the other items you're going to need, especially next time we get together in the Atlanta area (Great SEKS events are legendary): bonnets, sporrans, hose, etc.

Hang in there, keep us posted, and put up some photos as the items arrive.

This is exactly why I only let one order stand at a time. I don't have the emotional fortitude to withstand multiple joneses!
