You have the right to remain silent! I actually may have started talking to you as a premise to flood the ”watchers”/listeners with a mountain data they’ll have to sift through for their golden tidbits to use in their glib and smarmy blogs. See, you are suffering from the delusion that I and my activities are to be constrained by your small one world, one lifetime, one body point of view .More often than not I’m engaging you in conversation so that I may address the various surveillance systems you may or may not be aware of,but never the less are becoming evermore prevalent .Other times I ‘m actually unzipping and expanding a compressed digital data file I’ve downloaded from an interstellar gamma wave transmission on my endo-cellular neurophone and am duty bound to do so! I’m like the proverbial tree in the forest who’s inevitable fall will certainly make a sound ….or more really send a rushing cascade of vibrations emanating through space and time perhaps to wreck and perish on the desolate and forbidding shores of your ear canal,or to transcend to higher vibrational planes of the Vikuntha Lokas. But I do apologize for keeping you awake for days on end……etc etc blah blah bl…I’m not sure if I’d fall for it these day but its worth a try as a child when I couldn’t be quiet a titty always shut me up quite nicely! ! ….whats that ? oh you were talking about that other guy ! ooops never mind , disregard almost everything I said

Great entry, thank you Margaret. You are such a great writer.

I can totally relate to this non-stop talker dilemma. My mother’s husband bores me to tears. I come away from his monologues feeling severely dehydrated and in need of a drip.He is ignorant, racist, homophobic and without a shred of self awareness. Talking to him should be listed as an extreme sport along with hand gliding and rock climbing without the safety ropes.

Reading your entry makes me feel like next time I am in the horrible situation, and enduring his monotonous crap stream, I should DO something in my defence. Not sure what, yet (have been googling ‘how to cope with people who don’t stop talking).

But one thing is for sure, I am NOT going to come away feeling like I want to cry for the 1000th time.

Thanks!

Yeah I’m not a talker either unless it’s pretty interesting ~ same goes for listening.

How can people not appreciate silence?

I am good for about 2 minutes of conversation listening/talking and then I am done. This is why when I grew up I now live with dogs.

You can add to this “shut up’ post people on their cell phones who drone on and on within ear shot, completely disengaged and blind to the world, people, cars, bikes dodging their slow walking, cheeto eating stupidity.

walk away. do NOT say shut up. do NOT say anything. the irony is people have been telling me to walk away for years — yet, some people are NOT detaching. so, now they get an earful. they get plenty of earful moments. yes, your person could be joyless, but walk away. walk away. yes, SHUT UP…..like some people in my life where you say GO AWAY, but somehow, people have been choosing to eat their crap. oh well. yes, walk away — no la la la la la la….walk away!!

have a lovely day. p.s. did i ever tell you about the time i used crisco to bake cookies up someone’s ass??

Yes. I call them energy vampires. They need to suck out all our energy to live. Take in all the love at your next show and it will drown him out.

I once worked with a woman who constantly voiced her “inner monologue”. It seemed a very OCD thing to do..or neurotic in SOME way. Anyway, she finally shut up once & I looked up in surprise…She was sleeping!! Lol.
