They are like Parkas. Made of skin from an animal. I think that they are made from skin of a whale and they are amazingly warm and water proof. They are shown in all museums etc.

3:59 pm

mkg

Oops i am wrong. It is the type of canoe they use. Apologies. Google them. We heard a talk in a museum about how they were made. Now i have to look up what the parkas were called.

8:56 pm

rururocks

wht: ? I am in support of your changes.. but I wondered why you waited so long?

8:59 pm

wht

ruru, it hadn't occured to me.

9:00 pm

rururocks

really? wow.. how did you discover it?

9:02 pm

wht

Seriously, I don't know why. It was probably a combination of things. A lot of the things I can see now, I attributed to emotional neglect or I just didn't have words for it.

9:04 pm

wht

Then I started to feel a desire to wear women's underwear. I thought it might just be a kink but I soon realized that there was a lot more to it.

9:04 pm

rururocks

well.. good luck on your journey then. I was wondering what this realization meant for you. Good for you.

9:06 pm

rururocks

I'm guessing you're not voting for Desantis > :D

9:07 pm

wht

Well, the only person more surprised by this than me was my wife. Her first reaction was to tell me to get an MRI because I clearly had a brain tumor. But since then she has been incredibly supportive. (By the way, the MRI was negative.)

9:08 pm

rururocks

yeah.. that has to be a bit of a shock for her after all these years and kids and grandkids

9:08 pm

wht

Fortunately, I live in Massachusetts. Our lesbian governor is a lot easier to take.

9:09 pm

rururocks

well good on you. I hope you have a happy life ahead of you.

9:09 pm

wht

The kids have been great and the grandkids are young enough that they are just taking it in stride.

9:09 pm

rururocks

amazing that's incredible

9:10 pm

rururocks

we'll accept you in babble o

9:10 pm

rururocks

whomever you are. :D you're a great person

9:12 pm

wht

Thank you. My life is already happier. Early on, I thanked my wife for being so supportive and she said, "How can I not support something that is giving the person I love so much joy."

9:14 pm

rururocks

wow.. that's amazing. you are so lucky

9:16 pm

wht

I feel very lucky. My friends and family have all been incredibly supportive. I know that is not the case for everybody.

9:16 pm

rururocks

no .. it's certainly not. that's nice for you then

9:18 pm

wht

Thank you, ruru. I have alway enjoyed seeing you in the chat.

9:19 pm

origami

I'm glad you have a supportive group around you, wht.

9:22 pm

wht

Origami, I feel like I have been incredibly blessed.

9:25 pm

Good night friends. It is time for me to be off to bed.

wht, you are an inspiration. Best to you on your journey. 'We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.' Yes, Eliot's Little Gidding again. You're terrific wht.
