As early as first grade I was told... I talk to much

[salin]

DU lets me just keep that trend going. Thanks to you all!

(Not sure if I should do a happy dance, or hang my head for shame over how much I have said - some of it undoubtedly rather pointlessly - since first starting to post at DU....) :D

1. Not only...

Do you talk a lot, but you do it so well, too. One of the best here.

And no, I am not trying to pitch woo at you. ;-)

[salin]

2. Ah... flattery

will get you ... an ear full - at least from a big time talkaholic such as myself!

Hey.. can I pretend you were pitching woo even if you weren't? Took a little bit of an ego hit this weekend. Certainly nothing huge - but a little flattery helps make the irritating sting away :D

5. Look here, Baybuh!

If some twerp done you wrong, I suggest an interesting juxtaposition between your right foot, traveling at its highest rate of speed and his procreative nodules.

Lemme tell you: It WILL be therapeutic. For you. For him? Clinical efficacy has not been established, however the adverse ractions section is chock-a-block full. ;-)

7. hehe

there are times it is tempting... I tell ya.

3. I was held back in first grade for being "to social "

:shrug:

[salin]

4. While I wasn't held back

It was a constant theme through my gradeschool report cards.

Luckily we have both harnessed our natural socialness into the good fight against mind-numbing media gop promotion. :highfive:!

[proud patriot]

24. LOL

highfive back

[SOteric]

9. Well goll dang.

[salin]

10. Guess that first grade teacher was on to something

[I AM SPARTACUS]

11. ...you say that as though talking-too-much is a bad thing...

You are way-cool...Way. Cool.

[salin]

16. Takes one to know one

;-) Talkative and cool. Nice combination!

[Coffee Coyote]

12. same here!

My grandmother used to tell me at the tender young age of 6, that I would get "Lauringytis" (A play on my name) from talking too much. :D

I have also heard all my life how LOUD I am. :-)

[salin]

17. interesting

though I only know you through a "silent" medium - you do, at times, project a little volume ;-) Lauringytis... that's cute. Gonna have to store that one away.

[corarose]

13. I am with you on talking too much I got in trouble all of the time

From 1st grade on I ended up in the coat room because I talked too much and I would tell other kids what I thought about them.

[salin]

18. LOL

In second grade I was put back by the sink in the rear of the class. A snide neighbor reminded me of that regularly through high school!

[ulysses]

14. 15,000?

WOOHOOO!!!

Congrats, salin! :toast: :loveya:

[salin]

19. Thanks Uly!

Hard to believe - eh. Have really worked off some caleries with all of the typing...

:hi:

15. Good for you, motor-mouth!

I've always envied people who talk alot. My husband is one such person; he's never at a loss for words. He can talk to anybody. Sometimes, he'll be on the phone for three hours, just talking to a friend.(Or a relative, or a distant relative, or an almost-acquaintance, etc.) I've never talked much; mostly because of shyness, but also because I can never think of that much to say. (I only have a big mouth when I'm writing). Anyway, keep it up. Us quiet people need people like you to fill in those uncomfortable silences!

[salin]

20. Nah... we talkers

need thoughtful quiet folks (those whose writings demonstrate a great deal of thought and verbal (written) ease) to sparking our minds in new directions - which then gives us new things to talk about. I think the difference (along with shyness) is that for many talkers (or at least for myself) is that we think "outloud" - makes us more talkative - but also sometimes doesn't give us that mental screen that says... "maybe I shouldn't say that right at this point..." Ah - but those situations then give us something new to talk about in the future!

21. Does much talk back to you?

*ducks flying objects being hurled from Bloomington* Sorry I couldn't resist the little rib re- the header.

Cheer up...you don't talk NEAR as much as me :D and you make more sense...in fact, I shall crawl under a rock in deep despair the day you shut up.

:toast: ((((((HUGS)))))))

[salin]

22. rotfl - I didn't even catch that

*hurling red and white signed basketballs from bloomington at nsma*

Debatable, in my mind, that I make more sense. Can pretty much take to the bank, however, that you make a few more cents than I ;-) .

Don't go lookng for any rocks - I don't think I am likely to shut up anytime soon.

Thanks!

((((((hugs backatya))))))

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

23. Can pretty much take to the bank

that you make a few more cents than I shhhhh, don't tell Unca Sam...I'm pleading poverty!

[inthecorneroverhere]

25. Hi, classmate!

Well, I guess I got less posts than you....but not for long (starts scribbling notes and passing them under desk to neighbor) :silly: :silly:

I guess it's good to talk too much here.....

"Oh, Mr. Contreras, they're talking again....." :loveya:

[buddhamama]

26. salin talks too much--

i can't get any work done. :-)

that's a joke. what's not a joke is that i try and read every one of your posts. and in actuality because of you i end up with more 'work'--there is something to be gained,thought out or discovered in your posts here.

i admire your ability to stay calm and respectful of others.
sounds corney but i respect and like you.

thank you for being here and being you.

congrats,salin! :toast: :loveya:

[catpower2000]

27. Here is what was in my report card every year...

"talks too much"

OR


"disrupts class"

So I know what you mean, Salin. :) But I bet you couldn't have guessed that about me, right? ;-)

Cat :hi:

28. salin: OH, so you got this too?? Welcome to the club!! I got my mouth...

....taped shut a couple of times in grade school after being labled a "chatter box". I was also labled "too opininated because I had this liberal (moderate to conservative at DU) set of opinions from early childhood on.

DU has given me a chance to chatter away (not necessarily saying anything of value) but nonetheless chatter away and become much more knowledgable as to what goes on behind the scenes in my government.

I AM SO HAPPY TO KNOW that I am not alone in being a lifelong chatter box. You just made my day!!! :bounce:
