Maria, I felt the same way going into my local Walmart to get cosmetics. Then a curious thing happened. I noticed other men were there to. Getting stuff on their, 'well, if you are going to the store, can you get me' list from their wife or girlfriend..... And then the thought hit me; I can always use the excuse that it is a holiday, or someone's birthday. After doing that a couple of times, I thought, screw it; this is a free country, and 'I don't mind, cuz they don't matter'. Not to be looking down at those that would not like what I'm doing, but because I'm just like everyone else. There are 6+ billion people on this planet, and that means there are 6+ billion different likes, needs, desires, etc. And mine are no better or worse that any of the others. And if they want to laugh, or jeer, at me, inwardly or outwardly, then that is a reflection of them, not me! Love ya, Michelle
