I know when friends invite me to join them I'm expected to keep my mouth shut, ears open, and remember everything. Sometimes it gets to me, and it gets to me even worse that my closest friends know nothing about me. Then I figured maybe I'm being useful somehow. Then I started to blog...and y'll HAVE to listen to me now!!!Hecketyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065779986583259061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18532799296928641.post-75011687331499078312009-08-05T05:12:44.388-07:002009-08-05T05:12:44.388-07:00blognut - @ least you listen.

The tricky part is trying to compose one quickly.<br /><br />I have known a few people who are great conversationalists and one aspect of that is the ability to queue in on what has been happening with someone and pick up where you left off. I knew someone in theater who knew where I went to college and was able to ask me about it two years after I graduated (made me feel quite important).<br /><br />Thank you for a wonderful perspective.Cajohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705931109877069830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18532799296928641.post-86467524964977185382009-08-04T13:21:07.861-07:002009-08-04T13:21:07.861-07:00I would love to send cards and letters, but I neve...I would love to send cards and letters, but I never do. Don't get me wrong, I buy them, and I make them out. I just never mail them. NEVER. I don't even know what a stamp costs anymore because all of the household bills are handled electronically. <br /><br />So I email - a lot.

I still do thank you notes on paper. And hope our son will but doubt it. <br /><br />And bad listeners suck. Our son has been in the same class at private school for ONE YEAR with the same exact kids. EVERY TIME we see one of the kids dads, he introduces himself to us as if we just laid eyes on each other and asks our names.

It's funny though, because moments after I've said something (earth-shattering or otherwise), he'll look up and ask a question or make a statement pertaining to what I just said, like he came up with it all on his own. But he has no idea that I just poured my heart out for 15 minutes.<br />D'oh!Eyes Wide Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03049177383854839898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18532799296928641.post-72420140583030445662009-08-03T11:37:55.490-07:002009-08-03T11:37:55.490-07:00I love Paper too...
