What is wrong with me

That affliction is called "The braveheart syndrome". All men have predisposition to it but only the bravest of us will get exposed to it

For sure Dale,

Been around kilts all my life...highland games, pipers, et.al. NEVER thought of wearing one myself until I saw my first UK Workman's at a Ren Faire.

Googled from the logo on the hip pocket. Once I wore my first UK just 14 months ago I went on a kilt binge. Now own 28 kilts...11 of them UKs....

And I am a friend of Bill Wilsons!! Maybe substituting one addiction for the other...but I've never been arrested for wearing a kilt...never lost bowel and bladder control wearing a kilt...never been in a fight wearing a kilt...maybe one of those common sense positive addictions....?

I am powerless over kilts, but my life has become more manageable....go figure.

I found a solution to our addiction. Break the cycle!

Last month. I bought 2 kilts that I really wanted. I did not need them and I really could not afford them at the time. I decided I would get those two and that would be it until 2006. So far, so good. I haven'd been jonesing and it seems to have worked. I am hoping once I can go a few months without making any new purchases (and learn to "get by" with what I have), I will be able to stretch it out until my birthday, in June.

Currently, I have 10 kilts; 5 UKs (2 mockers, 1 brown workman's, 1 Original & 1 blue Spartan) 2 PKs (blue twill and chocolate corduroy), a tartan tank (McDonald Modern from Geofrey, my first kilt), a black PV and a cotton "digital tan camo" Sportkilt (which is very dissapointing actually).

At home I wear the Sparan the most. Out and about, I wear the Mockers the most. Like I said, so far, so good.

But, but, but....Mark....

The only thing worse than jonesing for a kilt on order is NOT having a kilt on order to jones for....

Cut back...??? You mean, like...do the speed limit on the Interstate?

Right now am waiting for the X Marks hand sewn traditional to arrive from Kathy Lare and I'm not just jonesing for the X Marks Kilt...I'm starting to crave ordering another kilt so I'll have something to jones for when the X Marks arrives...and, just to "insure the supply" I ordered a couple sporrans to medicate the X Marks jones....

If that doesn't make sense to anyone, then you're not kilt addicted...

Ron, made perfect sense to me! Must mean I am addicted! But then I already knew that!
