I have been a member here for some time and I enjoy it greatly. I have learned a lot and may have contributed something that others find useful. During the summer of 2011 I encountered another X'er at the New Hampshire Highland Games and he introduced me to his wife. She seemed to have a sense that there was some negative aspect to his association with this site. He introduced me to her as if to say, 'see, there are other people, just normal people, like me who like it too.'

I know that some are worried if we spend some time each day or week interacting in this way. I have to say it has been great for me. Look at this:

Tartan Tess did the jacket.

Rocky at USA Kilts did the 5-Yard 16 oz kilt.

Pascs sold me the hose, used.

I learned much of what it takes to make that bonnet here.

Jock Scot gave me the lead on McRostie of Glasgow where I obtained the sporran.


I have been greatly affected by this association and very enriched by it. Thank you all.
