I can't recall having any other discussions with her. My wife might have... But it's probably a good thing that she didn't hear the exchange. Both our wives seem to have the same general concern...though mine has become quite a bit more liberal than yours regarding my everyday wardrobe. <br /><br />And she now tolerates us being called "ladies." <br /><br />Yes, the women at the nursing home seem to be taking to my femme persona...and I love every minute of it! I certainly don't hear that dreaded "S" word there any more! <br /><br />Here's hoping your wife will go along with your dressing on the train this trip...it's the safest place you could ever want to do it! No restroom issues, food service in a controlled environment, and if you travel in sleeper, a very private place to sit, where people won't be looking up your skirt. Just as long as your relatives or family friends aren't on that same train!<br /><br />Mandy<br /><br />Mandy Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01547323395921637440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483143481224034343.post-12140114888371573012014-12-10T11:14:42.866-08:002014-12-10T11:14:42.866-08:00Women communicate with other woman differently tha...Women communicate with other woman differently than men communicate with men. No man has ever said "I like those shoes" or that is a nice "Jacket" or "I like the cologne you are wearing". Women, on the other hand, will often comment in a fashion that the lady did with your mother's necklace. She obviousl is picking up enough female cues from your dress and demeanor to talk to you as she would another woman.<br /><br />There have been times when I have passed comments in mixed company about a woman's fashion or style or a garment that a woman may be wearing and my wife picks up on that and will give me the 'stink eye'. She is very concerned that others may pick up on cues that I may have a secret femme predeliction.<br /><br />It is also evident that the lady at the nursing home is now pinging more on the femme aspects of your presentation than the manly ones. As you walk down life you are being accepted for the unique person that you are.<br /><br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.com
