Re: Returning like a bad penny ?

Re: Returning like a bad penny ?
Hello Tim, Radiostar, Bobclops.
Good to hear from you again. We first met (online) a good 12 years back as Bobclops.
I kept my site going, always remember your help with Joomla. I rebuilt when 1.5 came out and did the same last winter for version 4. Lot easier for a novice than the transfer sequence required.
I am still very active skirt wearer, a good 95% of the time. Rarely get a direct challenge about 5 times since 2011 and each time I give a return answer and more if needed which makes them walk away. Had one last week from a local at a local concert. Two others frowned, one tried to out stare me but when I walked towards them they gave up. The third was daft enough to challenge so the remark was thrown back at her as she was in trousers and quite manly in appearance. Not giving up so my next reply was quite blunt - bigoted women like you never see their own contradictions because they are do wrapped up with their narcissistic shellfish attitudes they do not see further than their nose ends. That worked, as she changed the subject!
Anyhow, I stand my ground with men's freedom of choice, expression and individuality, rarely, very rarely required verbally.
Have I noticed any increase in negativity, recently, not really. Get the same small minority of looks and stares but I usually give them a wave back. A stand tall, shoulders back and remain confident. I still get far more compliments and a lot of people do interact with me. I find volunteering at a Historic Hall is great advertising. So much I now volunteer at two!
My presence on this forum is very adhoc. Usually when I have an hour or so and upto date with all else. That can often be months! I think early March was my last visit. Now currently sat on patio in the sun at 17.05 pm with a lager.
You have probably forgotten my email but you can get that via this forum.
No doubt will spot you on this forum in due course.

Be yourself because an original is worth more than a copy.

Re: Utilikilts.
Morning all,
Just thought I ought to stroll into the cafe and see whats new,
Not really warm enough for a thin cotton sarong, and I no longer have a skirt that fits, So i am wearing trousers.
My favourite was a simple knee length denim skirt, It felt good to wear and I am a firm believer in,
" if you feel good, then you will look good."
How you feel effects how you walk into a room or down the street.
I still have two Utilikilts I bought new from Seattle, Both are 34" waist, and I am NOT. As I am heading for 80 years old, I would sooner see them go to a good home, Someone who will wear them, I tried some time ago and managed to lose the guys address.
One is an urban camo, the other simple blue. Let me know if you would like one of them, Preferably UK because of the postage costs.
I have always seen skirts as warm weather attire as an alternative to shorts and this summer has been cold and wet most of the time, So my sarongs stayed in the cupboard. Going to try some charity shops in Kendal and see if I can get another denim skirt that fits.
Right, I better get on with my day, a list of stuff to do. Take care all, Bye for now.

Re: Utilikilts.
Stu and I have been buying denim skirts from the Roman on line store https://www.roman.co.uk/a-line-knee-len ... t-17004837 They are having a sale at the moment. I bought a black one for work and there are many pics of me in it on my picture pages. I think Stu has a red and green version.OldRadiostar wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2024 8:20 am I have always seen skirts as warm weather attire as an alternative to shorts and this summer has been cold and wet most of the time, So my sarongs stayed in the cupboard.

Re: Returning like a bad penny ?
Thank you, I will check them out,
However charity shops are easy and often cheap.

I need a history lesson! Looks like several new memberships occurred in Oct. of 2003 -- what was going on at that time?

That's when the Café was founded. Before my time. No doubt an old timer can tell you more.
Keep on skirting,
