I was remembering those days.
I wasn't caught by mom, but I was caught by my aunt. I was at her house with my cousins and she went to the store. I was the oldest and went to her room, took one of...

Kim
Just wondering ... is there room on your ice flow for 2? And all my clothes of course :)

I began with mom's clothes also and she too neatly arranged here dresser. I learned early on that I had to be aware of where things were and how they were arranged.
I was never "caught" as such, but...

The thought of assisted living scares me.
It's not that I wouldn't acknowledge and accept the need for help in certain things, but I'm too accustomed to living on my own.

Whether or not I would...

I don't think it makes doing the chores more enjoyable. I don't think anything would.
But I am still looking for that Maid Uniform of my dreams. Maybe that will help.

So true Abby.
The first time those words leave your mouth is terrifying, but it does get easier.

That sounds familiar.
Our group had a member who was transitioning and her daughter usually attended all the events with her. There were many times we'd hear "Dad" and laugh.

I experience all of that and more.
The smell of nail polish as I paint my nails.
The feeling of a cool breeze flowing under my skirt as it billows in the wind.
The click of my heels on a hard...

I too went through the youthful excitement of dressing along with the guilt and shame and purging with the promise Never Again.
After a number of these recurrences I came to realize that it's part...

Love my control top pantyhose!
Silk Reflections girl here. Socks are so bland.

Guess my phone is more friendly.
It doesn't make any difference to it. I can change wigs, change glasses, full or partial makeup or drab and it opens right up. Facial recognition is supposed to be...

Glad being honest worked for you.
It doesn't work for all too many of us. I too was one of the lucky ones.
She "discovered" me a long time ago. It was the wrong time for us and even though I was...

I'm not that tall but I had the same trepidation when I began going out in public.
I love my heels and would want to wear them, but feared they would attract too much attention. Then I realized...

Before we retired we were part of a support group and I had many friends there both GG and CD. The group would do a dinner and movie night every few months and we would get together and go shopping...

Never heard the term J-turn but did find this.
I don't think I will be trying this anytime soon, especially in town.

A J-turn is a driving maneuver in which a reversing vehicle is spun 180...

Would love to know the model of those KISS nails. I've been trying to find wider ones without success. Mine keep breaking and chipping when I try to grow them out.

Kandi,
I'll keep you in mind if I ever need representation in traffic court. We'd make quite the pair before the judge I'm sure.

Nancy44,
I wish! Had foot surgery a dozen years ago and can't...

Delete definitely does not mean delete.
Years ago I dabbled in different programming languages and so forth. When a computer deletes a file it simply changes the first letter of the file name to a...

Maisie,
Glad your communication was well received. It's a start.
Keep talking and sharing. It took lots of that and some time for my wife to become comfortable with my dressing and now 20 years...

Kim,
My heart rate never moved. I was more concerned with the potential expense and a bit mad at myself for getting caught...LOL.

Andrea,
I never saw that episode or at least I don't remember...

I agree with you about walking in a crowd and not feeling completely "blended in". I'm sure there are those that notice but so long as they are respectful in their interactions I don't really mind. ...

Very sorry for your loss.
I'm so glad that dressing helps you through this difficult time. Since I dress almost all the time now I don't see a difference as the stress comes in both forms. I can say...

It's not the first time I've had something happen while driving.
Once I was going up to work on our vacation home, dressed of course and alone. As I exited one interstate and got on another the...

Well, it happened last night.
The biggest fear for many is to be stopped by the police while out and fully dressed. It's not my fear as I've been in other similar situations before, but it is still...

Welcome home.
I have such a vacation coming up the end of the summer. We'll be with friends who are unaware and it's going to be about 6 weeks of drab for me.
