P.S. Not a good idea to use the word "big" in reference to a woman, no matter what age, but I guess I set myself up for that one.

I would never use the "B" word when speaking with or about a lady.

Gee - I thought that big was OK, and it was Fat, Chubby, Old, Wrinkled, Crabby, Large, etc that I couldn't use.

How about tall? Is that OK?

Whatever word I can use, you sure do look fantastic now! (can I say fantastic?)

"Fantastic" works quite well for me. Thanks for the kind words, lads!

You look good Lass.

"Then" doesn't matter. You're looking fantastic "now!" And happy, too!

That's pretty OK! You look wicked nice! I've got a shirt from when I was young, I can use it for a mitten.

I'd like to think I have something to do with that.

I am glad your mother introduced you to the tartan at a young age. My daughters show little to no interest at the moment. Maybe if I made them tartan skirts, they would have a wonderful story like yours to tell in 10 years?

Maybe so - light the Celtic pride fire! It'll give them something cool to talk about with their friends. It's always good to know where you come from. Plus, plaid (and argyle) are very trendy right now.

Sealbh math dhuit!
