A questionaire for the lassies......

[Blu (Ontario)]

Thanks Bubba and Nelson, to be sure, you're a fine bunch of lads in understanding my plight ...She mostly worries about me "exposing" myself when in the company of others, even tho I try hard to sit 'nicely'. I can understand that...

Intersting... Does she also worry equally about the ladies doing the same thing.

[Blu (Ontario)]

After a quick tally of the responses so far, it would seem that the ladies in our lifes are more or less split down the middle as far as their feelings towards kilts are concerned. My wife's <u>biggest</u> concern of all was with regards to what others might think or say. But she quite appreciates the "social effects" from it.ie. highland games, dinners, etc. She also said that she was quite used to it now and didn't expect her opinions to diminish my kilt habits. That would be like taking candy away from a baby, now wouldn't it!

No of course not Blu, ladies "know how to sit proper" men don't (or so it is thought)

I understand... I get double standard comments here too.

Sitting proper is hitting the chair with yer butt instead of missing and hitting the floor. What's the big deal?

I didn't have any trouble "sitting proper" this past weekend. However, I apparently had a problem crouching down to take a picture of my wife and daughter. Unbeknownst to me I flashed the two of them. My wife mentioned it to me later. My daughter said nothing. Luckily I don't go commando in my kilt.

Graham...very good. You're quite right on "Tar Agus Glac Iad". It's tattooed under a harp on my arm...now, for the bonus points, I have "Bona na Conoin" tattooed over the harp...that would be...???

You got me there Celt, does it have something to do with St.Patrick?
