    Unhappy on a number of planes

    My pair of custom red kilt hose, hand knit by my wife to fit my calves, have vanished. They were last seen hanging from a line in the laundry room. No one in the house has any idea where they went now.

    On top of that, I got serious about weight loss, and now I have two kilts that are too big for me, and a third that is going to be too big soon, and two that still fit, one of which my son borrowed, and packed away with a bunch of his clothes when he moved, and is now missing in action.

    That one better show up very soon.

    In any case, I am unhappy.

    Yeah. I won't go into why. It's a family matter having to do with someone living here.

    I think you have hit the nail on the head - you will have to move out.

    I'm seeing the no-longer-fit issues more and more here. Maybe the For Sale section should also have Trade??

    It does. It's called "Swap"and I've made use of it to exchange some buttons with Tartan Tess.

    The thing is, the things we can all use interchangeably like sporrans and sgian dubhs don't need to be swapped for different sizes and we don't all wear the same tartan so finding a match for a kilt swap can be a challenge. Still, the feature is there if anyone wants to give it a whirl.

    If you're that unhappy, maybe you should binge on ice cream and fried foods for a while. It'll make you feel better, and your kilts will fit again in no time!

    I don't suspect it will.
