I do that on occasion, particularly if I know the person well.

Currently close to two million Americans behind bars can make that statement.

I should add "Alone, if I choose..."

I hang around too many old people.
Eventually conversation will
come around to ailments, maladies, meds,testing, results,
rehab, symptoms, doctors, physicians assistance , insurance,
assorted mobility aids, who is dying , who died, range of motion,
dietary concerns ,medical procedures.


One of these days I am going to bring a 45 second timer out ,
And just holler times up!.

I walked out of one meal, when it got too radiation side effects.

Yes we are sad you are sick but too much sharing is borderline repulsive.

It's not so much that I'm eating regular...

Went to lunch with a group of retired friends today. We're all disabled vets, but I just deal with my issues. These guys (and two of their wives) talk about their maladies until I could scream. I don't care about your flat feet, butt pains, hernias, etc etc. I get it. We' all old and sick. Now let's have a decent meal. And yes, I know so and so died. WE'RE ALL OLD AND SICK! On the other hand, my group of friends is getting smaller.....

People who won't answer a simple Yes or No question with either a Yes or a No. Even a short, "I'm not sure" is acceptable. Instead, they go into a story or explanation that still doesn't answer the question.

Incessant talking has got to be my number one. How a grown man can assault people like that their entire life is just beyond me.

That was my very first though, I can't cotton to a man that runs his mouth like a women. Conversations are great but the constant one-sided commentary of meaningless and uninteresting thought drives me nuts. Lucky those types are few.

This is instant rage for me. I’ve gotten to the point that when they finish I reply with, “So is that a yes or a no?”

In a word..

Stamp your foot once for yes, twice for no.
