I shifted to wearing all made for women shirts & blouses the last couple of years I was working due to more selection of colors and fabrics. My chief concern was finding them with big enough collars to work with a tie since I was a suit and tie kind of guy. I'm not too tall - my driver's license...

Oh, and lots of results from vendors in China who think "5XL" means waist size 34, if they mention waist size at all. Boy, I know that. I have a made in China leather jacket that is marked XL that fits even though I usually wear a Medium. I bought it at a local leather goods shop and the ...

If you are up to spending some serious money (~$200) check out the site for Pendleton Woolen Mills. (Google Pendleton it will come at or near the top.) I just checked and they had one ankle length wool skirt on offer. I just bought one from a local consignment shop for $50 that probably would have b...

There were a couple of times I even forgot I was in a skirt. I'm getting like that more and more as skirts become pretty much an every day thing again. One time in particular when I was getting out of my truck without looking around first and exposed a lot of thigh. I took advantage of what might b...

I have a CT scan scheduled in a couple of weeks. I think I will wear an elastic waist skirt. Much easier to maneuver when they drape the blanket over me and ask me to lower my pants to my knees. I'm getting an abdomen to pelvis scan. It will be interesting to see if the tech asks me to lower pants ...

I offer up this short paragraph from the October 3rd Wall Street Journal: Dr. Young (one of three sharing the prize) is a biologist at Rockefeller University in New York City. Speaking Monday at a press conference there, he said he "had trouble getting my shoes on the morning," forgetting ...

The Life & Arts section of the Wall Street Journal for today (10/2) suggests that designers are throwing any crazy idea out at their runway shows to see if anything catches on. One of the pictures shows an outfit by Mami at the Milan show earlier this year. It shows a model wearing a oversize kn...

Yes I did. Just didn't find the right emoticon to convey that fact.

Try getting a Californian to laugh at themselves! :wink: :P I resent that . :shock: Just try to find an actual born-in-the-state Californian, especially in a city overrun with Millennials like San Francisco. I happen to be a born Californian, though I can only claim second generation on my mother's...

"mansplaining" I have caught myself being guilty of this. I was training a woman to take my place as administrator of my former employer's accounting system and would be explaining something in detail when I realized I had previously talked about the subject or it was something she knew f...

At least some products are still produced in Britain! I have a number of pair of shoes produced in and sent to me across the pond. Britain, like the US, still makes some things. When I was still working and wearing nice dress shoes, all of them were from a US company that made them in Wisconsin. Fa...

I was at a bar once, shorts and suntan pantyhose on, wife sitting next to me, and a guy asked me if I was gay. I said, "What, because of the pantyhose?" He affirmed, I said, "No, but I have a gay friend and he has a shirt exactly like yours." He got the point. Good reply. I've n...

I went to my oncologist's office twice this week. On Monday to get a couple of short infusions (15 to 30 minutes each) leaving after being plugged into a portable pump for 46 hours. Back on Wednesday to be unplugged. The only comment was how my skirt went well with the paint color on both infusion r...

Gettaloada those pretty red nails!! :mrgreen: (A little chipped, but that's what a week of DIY projects does to purty nails....) :wink: You can't fool me Moon; from my experience working chips the tips, the passage of time causes the chipping at the quick. :) :lol: :P I say this based on about 10 y...

I just got a delivery from bobs furniture store and the driver was wearing the exact pants that are in the photo . I wish I had a chance to grab a picture. Nothing was said but he gave me a weird look when I opened the door wearing a skirt. Are you sure you didn't give him a weird look for what he ...
