Ahh the breeze

It's hot here in NJ today and humid to go with it. I have to smile as i'm remembering a conversation i had at a meeting last night. i was talking to a very butch cis man who knows i'm a trans woman but is also a friend. I mentioned how much i love driving the tractor in a skirt because of the breeze. He broke out laughing and said his grandma did the same.(Mmmm grandma me?) I just said he should ask the Scott wearing his kilt how nice that breeze can be.

I remember the first time i experienced that delightful breeze. I was getting a tire fixed and the counter where one paid had a vent in front of it. I was hot and that air conditioning almost made me faint with joy. It was all i could do to not express my elation to the rather tough guy who was helping me. Girls have to hide their feelings at times!

Hugs,

Charlize

Great idea for a topic, Charlize. I don't wear skirts much these days, but yes, I know the feeling and the pleasure it brings. Maybe some day I'll have a chance to experience that Marilyn Monroe "skirt over the sidewalk grate" from her movie. :) Thanks for sharing.

I know what you mean but, its hard to find those thin, loose all cotton summer dresses that mom and grandma wore. Brings back visions of them wearing straw hats and muck boots, tending the garden and feeding the animals and such. As a note. Kilts are way too heavy and hot. Also, if your tractor doesn't have a roof, you should put an umbrella on it in the summer..

Yes, I have felt the breeze on the hot humid summer days here in DC. It's Great for going to work in a light cotton skirt or dress. Do have to worry about my thighs rubbing together and getting a rash though (a cis girlfriend warned me about this-- a few days later after walking around the pride fesitval it happened :blink: ). But as long as I am not walking too much, I should be ok.

It is nice I dont go out yet but i do sometimes put a skirt or dress on late at night and step outside for a few min usually on moonless nights well after when my neighbors go to bed.

Charlize, minor correction. A Scot. Just one 'T'. Scott is a name... :-) and while a Scot is most certainly Scottish, Scott in Scotland though he may drink Scotch whiskey, is neither Scotch nor a Scot for he hails from Notre Dame...

:-D

Spent an 88 degree day here in the northeast with only panties, bra, and a very loose sundress , this 65 year old is spending more and more days in skirts and I just love it.

Try Carol Wright Gifts mail order, they have a ton of cool styles, all sizes and great prices. If I could "GoFundMe" for about $200 I would buy them all! Giggle

I'll check out Carol Wrights' for sure.

Here is my recent answer which I wore on holiday - A summer dress (which I just had to buy - I love it!), thick enough so that I could wear stockings underneath without any show. The sheer stockings just hide possible noticeable hair and the whiteness of my legs. They are much cooler than tights.

"Summer breeze makes me feel fine..." Your subject line makes me think of that song. I live in a dress. Sometimes a dress and leggings/footless tights depending on how cool it is. It's pretty rare when I'm in jeans except when they go with an outfit/the occasion. For me there are few things more comfortable and versatile besides skirt/top combos.

P.S. Marcie, try these or something similar to combat that summer thigh chafe. I have found these surprisingly comfortable. http://www.nononsense.com/no-seamless/no-seamless-slip-short.htm If you don't want another piece of clothing on, try this: https://www.bodyglide.com/shop/skin/

I've used this before when running and climbing. Works pretty good.

Marcie i have also found that just a touch of baby powder between the legs gives a wonderful glide of skin to skin.

Here in NJ it's getting even hotter. I've been putting up some new gates that will automatically close so that we will be able to let the service dog my wife is getting run throughout the yard around the house and barns without going up the road. I've been wearing a skirt just because when i'm on the tractor digging with the backhoe the breeze can cool this hot old gal down a bit. As a reward when i get inside i stand over a floor vent letting the air conditioning cool below while a fan hits the top half. Today i'll be running a conduit under the drive and doing some carpentry. Am i getting to old for this stuff? Fortunately my heart seems to work better hot than cold. Oh yes and the breeze was great again on the way to get the conduit yesterday. Air up the skirt while driving is a true pleasure.

Too much though and it would look like a walking mini snow fall... Giggle, sorry I couldn't resist! Pretzel logic humor.

That's a really nice picture of you Kiddo!

It's really heating up here. You'll find me in a long t-shirt, leggins, and flip-flopps. Even a dry 100F can be pretty difficult to endure. However, with humidity like FL or TX etc., I think I'd die. Seriously....

      Good morning, all!!! Cloudy today with some light rain coming. Not a day to work outside.   I will vacuum the house and the head out to our local hardware store after I get cleaned up. Time to buy a new bird feeder for the back porch.   I'm sorry the job didn't work @KymmieL! Hang in there.   It sounds like a busy time for you at work @Willow. Finding reliable people is so hard these days.   Time for another cup of coffee before I start cleaning!!   Enjoy this beautiful day we've been given.

      Nostalgia is an emotion. It is the feeling of enjoying events from the past. People with nostalgia will often look at or use old things that they were familiar with years ago. This is because people feel more connected to those past times that they enjoyed, usually because it reminds them of how long it has been since they last connected to such past times. Examples where people may have the feeling of nostalgia includes watching old TV shows, using old technology that was very enjoyable, and playing with toys that you played with as a child. These memories are usually misleading, and can make someone wish that they could be young again, even if their childhood was mediocre. Human brains often leave out boring or bad memories, which can cause incorrect feelings about their childhood.

      CAT FACTS A cat's jaw cannot move sideways. The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat   A house cat’s genome is 95.6 percent tiger, and they share many behaviors with their jungle ancestors, says Layla Morgan Wilde, a cat behavior expert and the founder of Cat Wisdom 101. These behaviors include scent marking by scratching, prey play, prey stalking, pouncing, chinning, and urine marking. Cats are believed to be the only mammals who don’t taste sweetness. Cats are nearsighted, but their peripheral vision and night vision are much better than that of humans. Cats are supposed to have 18 toes (five toes on each front paw; four toes on each back paw). Cats can jump up to six times their length. Cats’ claws all curve downward, which means that they can’t climb down trees head-first. Instead, they have to back down the trunk. Cats’ collarbones don’t connect to their other bones, as these bones are buried in their shoulder muscles. Cats have 230 bones, while humans only have 206. Cats have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents on the air, which is why your cat stares at you with her mouth open from time to time. Cats have whiskers on the backs of their front legs, as well. Cats have nearly twice the amount of neurons in their cerebral cortex as dogs. Cats have the largest eyes relative to their head size of any mammal. Cats make very little noise when they walk around. The thick, soft pads on their paws allow them to sneak up on their prey — or you! Cats’ rough tongues can lick a bone clean of any shred of meat. Cats use their long tails to balance themselves when they’re jumping or walking along narrow ledges. Cats use their whiskers to “feel” the world around them in an effort to determine which small spaces they can fit into. A cat’s whiskers are generally about the same width as its body. (This is why you should never, EVER cut their whiskers.) Cats walk like camels and giraffes: They move both of their right feet first, then move both of their left feet. No other animals walk this way. Male cats are more likely to be left-pawed, while female cats are more likely to be right-pawed. Though cats can notice the fast movements of their prey, it often seems to them that slow-moving objects are actually stagnant. Some cats are ambidextrous, but 40 percent are either left- or right-pawed. Some cats can swim. There are cats who have more than 18 toes. These extra-digit felines are referred to as being “polydactyl.”

      Good morning,   I over slept yesterday was a couple minutes late clocking in.  But no breakfast or coffee.  Got caught up but it was go go go all morning.  I had to ask for a refresher on how I was to enter something but once I got a quick answer it came back to me.    @KymmieL sorry Ford didn’t work out.  We are always looking for good reliable people, I could get you a job here but the commute would be rough.  Today I have three audits to get done, plus other things during my shift on top of the regular things.  Since I am opening that puts me in the drivers seat.  The Asst Mgr comes in part way throuh my shift but she will have to handle customers while I do the work she would be doing if she opened. Tail wagging the dog.  Guess she’s getting punished for not following the Mgr’s requests.  They do tend to butt heads a lot.     Butting heads with people is a thing the Asst is known for.   @awkward-yet-sweet do you think just maybe this new graphics request was in the offing?  And why you were asked to go to work with your husband?  Obviously, he cares about you a lot and is trying to do things to help you.   speaking of meeting people @Adrianna Danielle we have a youngish customer who comes in frequently, I’d like to approach her but I’m just not certain yet.  She still dresses male but has long hair and early chest development.  My approach, if I ever decided I should would just be supportive but I really can’t be sure that is what is going on here or what and I would not want to make a big blunder if that’s not what he is doing.  A male with early teen boobs doesn’t want to be noticed.   well, I can’t be late again, I’ve got to leave now.  See you again later for afternoon tea and crumpets or scones. Mmm scones!   lol   Willow

      Well, HIPAA is basically useless for keeping government out of your medical stuff.  It doesn't seem to prevent employers from making workplace medical demands either.  About the only thing it seems to do is keep somebody's sister or spouse from having the tools necessary to help you when you're in trouble.  As usual, government made things worse and added unhelpful red tape.  I really doubt HIPAA will be any use in the area of trans rights either.    Honestly, I don't see anything good will come of this no matter how it goes.  If some state AG's win on this, it will cause issues for trans folks.  If the Feds win on this, it'll be a precedent to stomp on states' rights even more than has already been done.  And I'm not sure which way things go will make a difference when it comes to officials from one state trying to do nasty things to people who have left that state and gone elsewhere.    What a crap sandwich... and no matter which plate it gets served on, "We The People" get to eat it.
