I think I'm good at making conversation with anyone ... they may not think I'm good :) but I think I am ... And Im no good shut the hellz up .... If you think I'm chatty online ... You'd not like meet me in person ... Cos I never shut up :)
One of my neighbours is a machine-gun speaker. Rat-a-tat-tat-a-tat-tat. Non stop. Everybody tries to avoid her but if she gets her hooks into you it ain't easy to break away.
You're NOTHING like her, Jaimie. I certainly didn't imply that you were. I give her a few minutes then plead old age as a reason for not standing and talking.
I find that a good 50% of any conversation I have with anybody is comprised of, "You'll have to speak up. I'm deaf. Yeah, seriously. I can see your lips moving but I can't catch any sound..."
