Hi there !
Begging your pardon, mi'lady. This is a 'midwestern' term
for one, perhaps others know it too. But for sure it exists
in Flat River country. It is equivalent to when someone
notices you are in profound concentration. It is used instead
of something like "Where are you?" or "Earth to 'you" or
"a penny for your thoughts", or some such> to say you
are 'waxing philosophical' means that you are in the arms of
a muse somewhere, and are having deep and profound thoughts.
No harm intended, and nothing to do with the waxing definitions
you have above. Deep thoughts, mi'lady.

Hey I made Anu's AWAD again this week. He wrote me an email
asking info beforehand this time, however. I am honored.

----please, draw me a sheep----
