    FINALLY!! Getting a USAK!!

    Well, it's official. Just got off the phone with Mr. Rocky. As planned I ordered the Ireland's National (casual) with matching tartan flashes. He didn't have anything off the peg. But, for a more than reasonable fee, he put a "rush" status on it. Should be out the door by Monday.

    Rush order, and I still can't control the JONESING!!

    Yes indeed. AZ would be MUUUUUUCH better kilting water! Yeah, I can NOT wait to get this one. To be honest, your and Hamish's raves about the Ireland's Nationals you both bought kept it haunting me.

    Simple really, anybody who has seen the IN has been intrigued by it. And almost all end up getting one soon after. It is a great tartan, and something about it calls to people. Beyond it being a USAK casual (which is a great kilt to wear at any time), the colors of the IN make it especially attractive and fun to wear.

    Oh man..... I was doing so good. I ordered my USAK IN on June 22 and I've done very well keeping the jones in check. You guys are just tormenting me now.

    Deep breaths, just relax, picture a cool stream, birds singing. Whew. That was close. :rolleyes:

    Ahh, Mowgli...


    Any addict knows the way to avoid jonesing is to insure the supply.


    That's why I have six (yup 6) USA Kilts casuals on order....

    Get on the phone...order a few more...you'll be fine....


    No need for all that meditation and pink light fog stuff...just buy a few more kilts...

    It works!

    The analogy of "the blind leading the blind" "addicted leading the addicted" seems to come to mind! HAHAHAHA.

    Ron,

    I knew I needed professional help. It kind of reminds me of the prescription my doctor gave me for an enlarged prostate. Let me just say it involved the participation of my wife. "Doctor's orders dear!".

    Wonder if she'll by the kilt jones excuse any more than the doctor's advise :rolleyes:
