Of course it may also be to stop people talk absout what is really bothering them!!!<BR/><BR/>My boring talk - if someone does not answer and I think they have not heard, I say it again.

It doesn't always work out though, we have been known to take a wrong turn because my map reading at crucial moments was faulty - ha ha! It's just another little adventure.<BR/><BR/>We have many maps too, including Thomas Bros. Guides. In my former job, preparing driving directions for my boss was very important, so I have lots of experience in that area. Happy to say, he/she never got lost, as far as I know!<BR/><BR/>I love to listen to other people talk about whatever interests them. I'm not much of a talker. Here in my own home I hear a lot about politics, current events, sports and classical music and talk radio...<BR/><BR/>With a couple of my very good friends, we like to talk about what God is doing in our lives and families.<BR/><BR/>Here in So Cal, people talk about the rain because it so rarely happens that it's a big event! <BR/><BR/>I think the only boring conversation is when all someone does is gripe and complain endlessly about the same old thing.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-69524917689318142532008-02-06T08:06:00.000-08:002008-02-06T08:06:00.000-08:00My Dad loved geography and reading maps...this who...My Dad loved geography and reading maps...this whole post gave me great memories of him plotting our route to Yosemite and other places he and Mom enjoyed taking us.Beatrizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302528684228244602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-59001795444008765542008-02-05T21:25:00.000-08:002008-02-05T21:25:00.000-08:00You know the thing that you guys (more the boys th...You know the thing that you guys (more the boys than you, though) always got me grossed out with, sis?

And at the school where I went, we used to play a game called "Gross-out" at meal times, when we'd try to outdo one another in coming up with the most disgusting ideas. To this day, there is not a junior high boy on the planet who can gross me out. =)Kitihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020166064056573242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-17165731581568719372008-02-05T10:12:00.000-08:002008-02-05T10:12:00.000-08:00Oh, and I've sent you an award :-)Oh, and I've sent you an award :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-90188277197760252572008-02-05T08:46:00.000-08:002008-02-05T08:46:00.000-08:00Traffic is often a topic of conversation at my off...Traffic is often a topic of conversation at my office - we all drive at least 20 miles from all directions. I have a fairly poor sense of direction, so MAPS ARE MY FRIEND.

I can't live without my navigation system so I don't need to talk about directions anymore (and I don't get lost anymore!!!). Since getting a dog, I talk about the weather a lot because I have to be out in it now! Schedules is probably the biggest topic (how boring!). My favorite thing to really talk about is what I want to try next to make, which is why I'm addicted to blogging!!!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529749426074359749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-9462108253324997522008-02-05T06:34:00.000-08:002008-02-05T06:34:00.000-08:00With me and people around me it tends to be how fa...With me and people around me it tends to be how fat we are and what exercise we haven't done and how much rubbish we've eaten.

People have called me "Scout" We do discuss traffic and freeways. People also tend to want to talk about drugs/medications around Greg.
