I find these days that most of my good talks are online. That happens when we live in a more "mobile" society, I suppose, where we make friends, move away, make more, move away again. I'm just glad that if I have to move around, I can always find a way to keep talking.<BR/><BR/>It's been a while since anyone has asked me to slow down when I speak, but I think that's more because I don't live in the South anymore than that I've actually slowed down on my own.Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846665855246867179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-47608406009372485642009-03-26T19:05:00.000-05:002009-03-26T19:05:00.000-05:00We spent quite a few nights talking away the hours...We spent quite a few nights talking away the hours, didn't we? I do remember that you have always been a fast talker. I don't remember you ever talking more than I did, though. I sincerely miss being able to talk to you in person.<BR/><BR/> I do have a friend who will just start talking while I'm talking if a thought hits her. I love her dearly, but that habit drives me nuts.<BR/><BR/>Rob says I talk fast. He asks me all the time to slow down. He says that I've lived too close to too many big cities and I don't speak the way all the southern people do. I assume he means the ones who speak so slowly that they change the number of syllables required to complete single words. No, I do not speak the way they do. He's got me there.

I have a "friend" here who does that and it stops me from wanting to speak to him at all. I thought it was just me until Ron assured me this friend does the same thing with him.Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846665855246867179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-43047244737695996172009-03-19T13:37:00.000-05:002009-03-19T13:37:00.000-05:00I just want to assure you that at no point did my ...I just want to assure you that at no point did my eyes break contact with the screen (thanks for the tip, Ron).Markiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892999128918044808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-419451516926715648.post-71238883031919403862009-03-19T12:15:00.000-05:002009-03-19T12:15:00.000-05:00I, for one, am grateful for Bobbie's many talents,...I, for one, am grateful for Bobbie's many talents, only one of which is her ability to "fill up the silence", either online or in person, with interesting stories and opinions.<BR/><BR/>And I can attest that breaking eye contact or tuning-out is indeed a huge, huge, HUGE pet peeve of hers. I recommending posting a comment to assure her you haven't done so.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513760082695734382noreply@blogger.com
