General Chat

that you and your other half pass between you in any given day and week.

Or for those alone....how many sentences would you say passed between yourself and any other person.....not written.

Just wondering.....no reason.....no connotations ......

We chat all the time, could'nt say how many sentences:))
l know how lucky l am:)
jude :-)

Couldn't count we are always talking about something.

Does that include or exclude me talking to myself Susan ? :-)

With Dan, who is either at college, up in his room doing college work or his phone business, it's probably about a dozen a day that aren't about food or techie stuff that I don't really understand.

In the average week it's probably about half a dozen sentences with staff in shops, and one or two phone calls from an elderly friend, which are always the same sentences but sometimes in a different order.

add: about once a month or so I get to speak in a proper stimulating conversation with my best friend on the phone.

:-D

Do 'grunts. count?

Easy access to wi-fi and the internet has eliminated or, at least, reduces the need for us to actually talk to each other face to face. I go out to lunch these days with a group of six people and, at any given time, at least two of them are receiving or sending texts on their mobile phones.

OH and I don't talk a lot......well I would and do ,but I think it goes in one and out the other lol.He isn't one for general chit chat but talks when he has something to say (if you know what I mean.)He is better now that he has gone Part Time so is more relaxed and not bogged down with work concerns....Grunt's are quite common Dermot :-D from him ,not me :-D
I think phones should be banned from any eating places..SWITCH OFF.I think it is so rude when people spend the time texting etc when sat around with friends .People are beginning to forget how to communicate verbally these days.
I do talk to myself a great deal :-S.I have to have a conversation with someone sensible ;-)

Lots, too many to guess at. If I am on my own I'm on the phone as you know...lolol

Me and OH chat all the time (apparently even when I am asleep!!)
When he is missing I chat to the mutts.

Quite a lot really... :-D

All of the time when we are together, I store things up to discuss with OH when he gets home from work. I have to admit I am a bit of a chatterbox, and will usually strike up a conversdtion with anyone. :-D :-D

We tell eachother everything, and talk a lot, because we are best friends, but we also have lots of companiable silences! :-)

Always talking about something or other - in spite of tale of spotting marrieds in a restaurant as they do not speak to each other - does not apply to us!!!

Susan wiv, is so bloomin' nosey ;-)

in answer to your nosey question........loads of times a day :-D

The ladies possess the franchise of the tongue.

My answer is not many, OH never comes up for air so I don't get a look in :-D

Roy

Edit, My answer is based on a two way conversation ;-)

We are always talking about something or other :-) How about you Susanwiv?

Sorry....I got waylaid painting fences earlier on

me....well now let me see

Today I spoke to Oh quite a few times and all I got was.....mmmm .....most of the time.....when I ask why he says....he can't think of anything to say.......

Yers.....I know!

Seems most of you made a good choice with your partners......just wondered if anyone else is as bored to tears as me....thank goodness for the dogs :-D

At least four sentences from Himself.....................

Good Morning.

Do you want a coffee

What's for dinner?

Goodnight.

:-D

Lots more from me!

We try to chat. Sometimes do very well and our conversation may give him an idea that he wants to relate, he will start and then a smile comes over his face and he struggles and then says no it's gone, I will laugh with him and say no matter it often happens to me.

We do welll most of the time and I try to encourage him to talk between his napping !

Have even bought an I pad so I can be downstairs with him in the evenings rather than in my office(small bedroom) upstairs. Do have to go up from time to time cos the I pad is a bit restrictive.

I am quite a shy person (honestly) but the three people I could always talk with non-stop were my gran, my mum and my OH. And for 34 years now, have never kept any secrets from OH and vice versa.

But my son!! I don't spend a lot of time chatting to him and I think he knows I am there if he wants me. But he is 40 years younger than me, works odd shifts and often comes in after midnight and is interested in teckie things and heavy metal music. Oh, and cars. He chats to his elder sister on phone and I can hardly understand a word I accidentally overhear :-) :-)
