    You got people here writing books for an answer, but not you though. You're ok.

    My mom and sister. Those two women have a gift for the gab. This post was edited by Rizz at August 18, 2018 10:48 PM MDT

    My entire family. When I'm not with my family, I'm the long-winded one.

    He used to be.  I started saying In one sentence, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?  It seems to have cured it.

    My sister-in-law talks non-stop.  If you leave the room, she will follow you, talking all the way.  If you turn on the TV she will repeat the dialog to you.  I can tolerate her for about an hour because she never has anything interesting to talk about.

    I do my buddy Jim he goes on and on about everything. If you ask him for directions he will add things that won't help you get there -  like how he once saw a three legged dog at a truck stop not too far from there. Then he will give a bit of directions then he goes back to talking about the French fries at the truck stop or something. Cheers and happy weekend!

  • I have those, too, only without the in-law additive.  Let me stop before I rant.

  • I am in person.  I'm the old-timer who loves to tell stories about my life and the good old days (before the 90s).  Online I don't really know how to act.

    I am here but not in person.  I just get a kick out of words and love my friends here.  They make it cool to share.  That's all. :) :)

    Several folks on here, mostly those who go on and on ad nauseam about Christianity and the bible.

     I choose to never discuss religion. Period. I don’t even discuss it with friends or family. People are usually set in their ways with whatever their beliefs are. It tends to lead to hostile interactions. Very few people know what my true beliefs are.

    I forgot to include this is part of why I don’t discuss religion. I find it a lost cause because most people won’t change their minds. Conversations about religion rarely seem to to be civil and calm.

  • I used to work with a guy, great guy, that I don't think was allowed to talk at home. Understand ... he was a really nice guy, well-mannered, not loud or deliberately pushy and intelligent ... which made it all the harder to tell him to stop.  If he spotted a new guy, that hadn't heard his stories yet ... like a maintenance man or an outside contractor, he'd be on them like a vulture on a corpse!

    It got so back that we started faking phones calls, for the inexperienced victims, to help them escape!  True story.  :)
