    Getting off the fence

    All the self help groups state that the best way to make sure you follow up with a promise to yourself is to announce it to all your friends. So here goes.

    I've been wanting to purchase my first kilt for some time now but always found a financial reason to back out. Weeeeeeeeelllllllllllll, I get paid at midnight tonight( hurray for direct deposit). When I rise in the morning, I will order the heavy weight all wool Saffron kilt from SWK. It's my absolute favorite and dammit, I deserve it. Pictures to follow.

    P.S. My wife just told me to pull the damn trigger and stop talking about it. Gawd, I love her.

    I promise you that it's the right decision and you'll love wearing the kilt. And get used to buying them. I'm already doing some math for buying another and my most recent purchase hasn't even arrived yet!

    Congratulations on making the decision to order your first kilt. (BTW give your wife a big hug for supporting you.) Be sure to post pictures for us when your new kilt arrives.

    As long as we're talking about my wife, I ask the group to put their collective minds together and send her brother Tom some good positive healing energy. He just had bypass surgery for clogged arteries( long time diabetes caught up with him). She is in Boston right now taking care of him. The energy this group possesses could light up a small city on sheer will power alone.

    Thanks in advance

    Consider it done!

    Congrats on your new kilt! Welcome to the addiction.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear
