Hi, My name is Ruth

Ruth · Post by **Ruth** » Sat Dec 11, 2004 1:44 am

My second wife was the one that called me Ruth.
My Mother always told me that if I had been born a girl, she would have called me Wilma. That was a fairly common name 50 odd years ago when I was born. I will stick with Ruth.
Bofore anyone asks, yes, my mother wanted a girl as I was the second child. She didn't dress me as a girl but did make sure I learned to cook, sew,do laundry etc. and all of these things helped me in later life.
I will post about how I started.

Welcome aboard Ruth. Sometimes I wish I could sew, sure would come in handy when my wife doesn't want to make something for me.

Looking forward to hearing more about your start.

Hi Ruth--
I like your second wife's choice for a name much better than your mother's. I forget that people are lurking out there, but I'm glad you came on board. It's much better when you can put fingers on the keyboard every once in a while, and chime in.

I admit that I like this name better than my mother's idea.
It was my second wife that started me dressing again after so many years. She needed to alter a dress for a special occasion and talked me into wearing it while she pinned it up. She instantly loved the idea!

A few days later she went shopping and came home with everything from panties to stockings and garters to a couple of dresses. It took some doing to get me to wear any of it but..............the old history thing.

Thanks again to all for the warm welcome.
