    Good show River, good show. I think the thing that made the differance, from reading the posts, was how you handled your self. This has made look at how I handle situations in the future. If we ever get a chance to meet in the future, the pints are on me .

    Joy be with you River. Doc

    Hey Bill,

    I ALWAYS wear tartan boxers under my kilts when on the job...and there've been a few times in the last 19 months where that proved a wise choice. They're loose and comfy.

    If you did the same, so what if something showed...all they'd see is tartan boxers that kids expose from their low slung jeans anyway.

    As a retired old fart, who couldn't have worn kilts at work anyhow (osha rules concerning rotating machinery and hazardous chemicals) I've restrained from commenting or making suggestions. Now, I'd like to offer my congratulations on resolving the issue in your favor, Ron, and on the gentlemanly way in which you handled the matter.

    Ron, it is still amazing what can get accomplished while in a straitjacket! (though they were troosers)

    Sometimes it works out for the best with a direct face to face! And in the business you are in, it should be easier! ( though most of the time it is more difficult!)

    Glad to hear of the positive outcome!

    Thanks for the advice Ron! I may give it a try in the future. Now all I have to do if find a place that has a wide selection of tartan boxers

    Hey Bill,

    I get all my tartan boxers at WalMart...come in a three pack...some seem to even be authentic tartans. Never saw the need for high priced boxers...just want them light and loose and thought the tartan was cool in case of accidental exposure.

    Ron,

    I'm very happy to hear that you and your boss got all the conflicts hashed out, that your organization got that important contract, and that you can now wear a kilt to work anytime you wish.

    I think she sees now what a valuable asset you are.

    Darrell
