interesting and scary (for me) experience

[Foxglove]

there is a place in our city that is CD friendly. It is run by CD's and all the SA's are CD's. My husband LOVES shopping there because she doesn't feel judged by anyone. Plus, it's across the town and we're in a big town so no one there would know him anyway.

Lord, and this is in Texas? What's the Lone Star State coming to? If you ever see a cowgirl skirt there, please let me know. I could use one of those.

Ummm... the self check out at Walmart? I had a pr of heeled sandals and baby powder. For some reason the self check out didn't work right and a SA had to come over and scan the things a few times...I'll just go thru the regular line next time. Amanda

I used to be that way too, but I figured out that I don't care and secondly, nobody else would imagine in their wildest dreams that the reason I'm buying something is for Cding. And even if it was...so what? They know nothing about my intentions. If they were to ever mention it to me, I would just admit I was there shopping and like nothing is unusual, I would say...'you remember what I bought?....I don't even remember what it was now... must have been something you were interested in?'. ...in fact, I'm almost the opposite now, I would intentionally do it just to see the reaction...try picking out an eyeliner in the makeup section and walking up to the cash, buying it and then questioning the price because the display was wrong...or the pencil was in the wrong slot...did it...no odd looks, just several trips back and forth between the cash while the girls checked it out. People might wonder what you are buying, but act like its normal and they quickly make up some story to satisfy themselves.

as i'm still in the closet, but love to shop, when i do i always have that funny feeling in my stomach that everyone is watching me. so i recently ordered on-line from jc penny's 5 tops and a pair of jeans. for obvious reasons i had it delivered to the local jc penny store and i would pick it up there. the store was quiet and the register i went to was empty. everything so far is perfect. as the sales associate was carrying my package from the back room, i extended my arms to take it from her and leave. she walked right around me to the register, ripped open the package and layed out my 5 tops and jeans on the counter to make sure everything was there. as she is checking each one seperately, she's telling me if they don't fit i can return them. with a knott in my throat im saying "okay". i noticed out of the corner of my eye there was now a man on line behind me, and when i realized that i knew him and that he use to work for me i really got nervous as he heard everything the SA said to me. i gave him the old "how ya doin", as i grabbed my package and left the store.

so just a warning to you others still in the closet like me. if you don't want your package ripped open, stay away from jc penny's...

That happened to me and that was the last time for in-store delivery. I'll pay for my privacy. Besides , the SA was a nosy hag who also made comments not appropriate to her duties.

When a guy is shopping in the women's section, I think people usually assume he's buying something for his wife or girlfriend.

When you have a secret like that, you're going to be super paranoid. Most of the time, it's all in your mind.

It's all in your mind.

It's all in your mind.

Just sayin... from someone who has been there... :D
