The new catalogs are already showcasing their fall fashions.

One of my favorite types of clothing is sweaters. Gosh, I love them. :D

My favorites are turtle necks and cowl necks, and sweater sets too.

How about you?

I've always loved turtlenecks, but never had a sweater. However, I noticed a year or so ago, I had a sudden interest in them. Maybe this years, the year.

I hate the cold! Let me say that again, I really hate the cold but when it does get below 70 here I do love sweaters. This year will be different because I will be able to pick out some girl sweaters to wear all the time.

The only good thing about fall and winter is that you can wear womens clothes easier without anyone noticing.

Just one more way boys and girls are different. It sure doesn't mean shrinkage.

Last year I wore silk turtlenecks with my suits, and got nice comments on my new style. :rolleyes:

IDK about this year - my girls might be inclined to do the peekaboo thingy. That would be interesting. :P

Well, this year it will just be a single turtleneck top that evaded my last purge, and a couple of Carhartt Hoodies. But that is OK, one never knows when something might show up.

Around here, 80 degrees is considered hot, zero is getting a bit nippy.

Now that I have moved from the frigid north-70 below zero wind chills are NOT fun-I look forward to fall and winter with warm soft sweaters. I've loved plain soft sweaters all my life.

And fur. Good thing my nutria bomber jacket is a man's jacket. I'll wear it with even more pleasure now.

By the way for any anti-fur people-nutria is a long haired giant rat and a ferocious, destructive pest. But they do have beautiful fur.:D

FALL

YEAAAAA

Only three months away! We get our winter after Christmas Day.

But it is geTting cooler here! We have had four days of rain influenced by storms in the Gulf - hurricane rains we call them, gentle droplets at 20 MPH - but it's cooler, all week at under 90 degrees, 76 to 78 at night - so I slept under my blanket (not what you think - the AC is more efficient when it is under 95 outside and it can be nice at night with the AC actually working)

BUT

YES! Sweaters! And dresses to mid calf - scarfs - real dresses that cover our shoulders - and even coming soon, pantyhose and tights! We can get out the heels and put away the open sandals - and - best of all - we can wear full makeup and wear our hair down - no more 'dewey' episodes!

[And as JJ says - watch the headlights in the cooler weather!]

YEAAAA

Sweaters, oh do they bring back memories of growing up. My mother made me (yes, knitted or whatever) a medium dark brown mohair sweater. Actually, I personally, deep down, thought it was wonderful looking. Problem was, I could not possibly wear it at age 13-16. When you're terribly unsure of your presenting gender (in this case, male) and so badly want to be accepted and are trying desperately to put those weird thoughts out of your head, the last thing you need at that moment is a fairly feminine looking sweater - soft and fuzzy and so warm looking. Probably would have had positive comments from the girls, but the guys? Ha! And I wish I had it now.

Another type of sweater I have always liked is boatneck style. Try finding those, these days! With what's available I happen to prefer V-neck or crew. I'll take a cardigan only if it looks 'today!' not reminds people of my grandfather's LaSalle. ;)

Simple - lure Nutria in the traps with artificial sugar - Nutria-sweet.

GRIN

Living in prime NUTRIA country - the answer is really simple. The local Cajun population traps and skins them, selling the fur. I don't wanna know what they do with the meat - I avoid the Cajun Country Restaurants that have specials on HOT SAUSAGE POORBOYS during hunting season!

Nutria look like a beaver except their tail looks like a rat tail. They were brought in originally from South America because they eat water hyacinth - a waterway clogging plant, and that plant was originally introduced from the Orient to prevent erosion of dirt banked levees. And the Nutria build their dens by boring into in the dirt bank levees and weakening them. The solution? Put an alligator or two in the water where Nutria habitate. Later trap the alligator (with the proper Federal permits) and skin them for alligator belts, purses, boots and women's dress heels. Alligator meat tastes like dark chicken meat and is really good with a sauce picante. Picante hunting season is fairly long so it's a good situation. Picante fur is not really that high of a quality, though, so there are some drawbacks in this bio-system.

Hope this clears up the mystery!

Nothing like having one's thread hijacked by rats and alligators. :(

Thanks gang!

DANG - you wanted to KNOW how they capture the Nutria!

And have you ever tried to trap Angora? Crafty little creatures with pink fur ('though sometimes they are found in white) that hide under rocks until the cool weather arrives. Like the double humped camels they are easily identifed by their bumps (although usually from a 90 degree turned viewpoint)

They can often be seen in domestic conditions associated with embroidered poodles and socks named 'Bobby."

I hope this helps

Just like my coat-only mine has a tiny bit longer fur-nutria looks a lot like natural mink

A nutria in the wild-and BTW they are aggressive and will sometimes attack on sight.

Sorry about the confusion-but I do love the coat! And boots. And single color soft cashmere sweaters. And cool weather -with a fire in the fireplace. And the lawn all bedded down for the winter. And the winter birds back at the feeder. I LOVE fall!

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
