They honestly don't know how to have a conversation. There's a really good chance they went home thrilled that they had found new friends that actually listened to them. Don't take it personally. When/if you meet up with them again, give them another chance. I'm betting they're not even aware of how they slighted you. <br /><br />{{{hugs}}}}<br /><br />And feeling really bad that I never got around to answering your Christmas letter 15 months ago...Confessions of a Closet Hoarder but you can call me Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618687581973592183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127818511297873465.post-73293635261464650512012-03-25T10:41:36.336-07:002012-03-25T10:41:36.336-07:00But questions are so easy!!

All you have to do is repeat them-"Why did you move here?" etc. Some of our best times with another couple have been when we have bothered to take the time to question where they are at, what's going on in their lives right now. They respond in kind and wow! you have a conversation. I really think it's a forgotten art. Neighbors used to gather on front porches. Now, everyone is in their house watching tv or on the computer(maybe even in separate rooms on separate tv's and computers). The face to face thing isn't happening enough.<br /><br />And you are too interesting enough to have a conversation with. . .and giggle with. . .and have a meal with.Bevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127818511297873465.post-83473516942103239092012-03-24T16:06:32.961-07:002012-03-24T16:06:32.961-07:00Hey Tamara, found your site!
Ok, my take on this ...Hey Tamara, found your site!<br /><br />Ok, my take on this one is typical of most people nowadays. self centered and self absorbed.<br /><br />I know how old you are and how old your kids are. When you get my letter (soon I promise) you will know the same about me & mine. <br /><br />I truly think this is a rarity in our society anymore when everyone is paranoid about ID theft and shredding everything that comes into their house.<br /><br />I don't know about you or your readers, but growing up, the neighbors houses as well as ours never had a door locked. Most kids on the street had free reign is you will to open a door and go is ... here dig into a fridge and grab a snack.. Now you know I don't mean this LITERALLY but things used to be much looser and "neighborly" You "knew" the people living on your street. More to the point you WANTED to know the people on your street.Derrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14672623290156513181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127818511297873465.post-86349725375975257012012-03-24T11:26:08.793-07:002012-03-24T11:26:08.793-07:00I think it's not that we don't want to kno...I think it's not that we don't want to know or we don't have questions. It's more that some of us have shy personalities and good conversation doesn't come easily to us.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598627294767794258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127818511297873465.post-16135416200241299032012-03-23T21:20:37.717-07:002012-03-23T21:20:37.717-07:00I'm sorry. Did you have a question?
Seriously...I'm sorry. Did you have a question?<br /><br />Seriously, I think some people are just graced with the personality of a bowl of cornflakes.<br /><br />It just seems like you run into an awful lot of them. Not you personally, generic you. I have met some just like that. More than once.<br /><br />Sorry it wasn't a success. I know how much stuff like that means to you.<br /><br />You know I love you, right?Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353667980806676067noreply@blogger.com
