From the lovely reactions to your appearance, and how much your ex-coworkers seem to have always liked you ... plus, of course ... your "new" look, I imagine you'll be invited to future events where retirees are welcome, and virtually everyone will be expecting to see you as an attractive, stylishly dressed woman. <br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Sheila.Sheila from Tampahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230335934380274993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-62059195772434979982017-12-21T11:55:04.949-05:002017-12-21T11:55:04.949-05:00Thank you, Stephanie.Thank you, Stephanie.Stanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259788604423472207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-74121177941114746382017-12-21T11:54:36.572-05:002017-12-21T11:54:36.572-05:00Thank you for that nice comment, Connie.Thank you for that nice comment, Connie.Stanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259788604423472207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-40162288417769504502017-12-21T11:50:37.350-05:002017-12-21T11:50:37.350-05:008 tables seating 8 people each with very few empty...8 tables seating 8 people each with very few empty seats, so 60 is a good estimate on the number of attendees. <br /><br />When I sat down, I said, "I needed a drink" as in I need a drink to settle my nerves and a good friend offered to get me something. <br /><br />Merry Christmas to you too, Pat!Stanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259788604423472207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-10849489439234772812017-12-21T11:36:56.318-05:002017-12-21T11:36:56.318-05:00Great outing. How many were at the event?
It see...Great outing. How many were at the event?<br /><br />It seems logical that people who knew Stan for decades would treat Stan as they always treated Stan. Same person they knew for ever...just a somewhat different package. No reason to expect a different name than the one they used for you for ever. Most folks do not attach a gender to a name.<br /><br />You were at a table of men and as you know one difference between men and women is that women often comment on what others are wear and are generous with their compliments. Men NEVER say anything about how anyone is dressed unless it is a negative jestful quip. Of course, in today's supercharged climate a man has to be ultra careful if they even think about commenting on any aspect of a woman's appearance or attire. When I would get out I never had a comment from a man but almost without fail some woman would pass a compliment about my shoes, or dress or makeup. <br /><br />Congratulations and I hope you enjoyed that glass of wine. Were you treated to the wine because you were presenting as a woman or was it a nice gesture to a retired colleague no longer drawing a company pay check.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and your family.<br /><br />PatPat Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148601231866277374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-57948875134441384472017-12-21T07:41:46.705-05:002017-12-21T07:41:46.705-05:00I think it is a tribute to how much they like you ...I think it is a tribute to how much they like you Stan.

Confident, girlie .. only a woman would have chosen that outfit dressing so young and confident.<br />You are also a true inspiration and breath of fresh air.<br />Thank you for sharing.<br />stephanie stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236503086099618473noreply@blogger.com
