    You know I do that all the time! :-(
    You're so mean.  You hurt my feelings.  Have a little empathy.  I'm going to run away and cry now.
    Waaaah.

    I always say to make a long story longer.

    I know what my listeners are in for.

    I am one of those people a lot of the time.

    I sometimes add for others a variation of what Shar to the Rona said in her answer.

    :)

    I try to be aware if I'm talking too much - - and then I profusely apologize.

    Of course you do. 


    FORGIVE ME.  I am not worthy of your presence.   I am not fit to exist.  Love, Welby.

    Exactly! Ha!
    You do know me by now, ha!

    I have some people in my life threaten to hurt me when I keep apologizing!
    :)

    (I'm getting a little better at refraining from the apologies. But the 'pull' to do it is still there.)
