I'm the same way, most girl's can yak their brains out, I tend to be a bit quiet and interject every now and then.
Some woman talk so much you can't get a word in edgewise, there is a woman in my neighborhood that is like that. The only responses I can squeeze in during a 20 minute conversation are-.......really......hmm......well.......how about that. That's if I'm lucky and she's in the mood to listen.

Speaking of women who talk too much, we fellas have two words: The View.
Sorry didn't mean to change the subject. Sleep deprivation can allow one to get extra thing's done, the only problem is, one is usually working with less energy and when it comes time to sleep you have to play catch up.
What's the view? explain please.

I'd rather stick bamboo shoots underneath my
own fingernails then have to watch that nonsense.
Don't men like chatty woman?
paulaj...I am surprised, and yet happy that you know not of 'The View'. Here is a link:

Oh that, I've seen it.
A typical conversation from the view-
Blah, blah blah blah, you did? I just blah blah blahhed myself, that's terrific! were are powerful blah blah's aren't we?
Yes we are! Now let's blah blah some more for the viewers.

Please refer to my previous quote.
It's not just boring, it's irrelevant, and they talk over each other, which is really annoying. I think I watched it once, for about 30 seconds, before tuning out and never returning.
The only shows I care to watch on t.v. are documentaries.
I think soap opera's are so mundane, but alot of woman love them.
All right, people posted here!
I think that we've stumbled upon a good topic: TV.
I tend to have way too much free time on my hands, so I regularly watch the new episodes of quite a few shows: All three Law & Orders, Scrubs, ER, Simpsons, Arrested Development, and maybe Joey and Will & Grace (I just started enjoying that last show fairly recently). I also watch daily reruns of Seinfeld.
Hmm, so that might not actually be that much TV, since I used to watch a whole lot more in the past, but it's still a fair bit.
And edgar, maybe 4 or 5 years ago, VH1 ranked its top 100 rock songs, and Satisfaction beat out Like a Rolling Stone. Frankly, though, I agree with Rollings Stone's choice. (Lots of "Rolling Stone" related thougts in those last two sentences.)
I just recently started watching Scrubs... it has turned into one of my favortie shows... my kinda stupid humor.
Hehe, I remember watching Scrubs when it first came on because it looked like a goofy show. That's exactly what I wanted, and that's exactly what it was, so I was pleased right away. It still has its serious moments, though, and those can be good too.
Oh, and I forgot to put Crossing Jordan on my list of shows.
And Late Night with Conan O'Brien...
Ok, maybe I still do watch a lot of TV.
I watch Crossing Jordan too... usually I watch it and think "Why did I just waste an hour of my life watching that?" but then I watch it again.
That's exactly how I feel about Crossing Jordan. I also think that the beginning and end of each show is normally decent, but everything in between is so cheesy and silly. And I always think that I wasted my time. But then I'm always watching again the next week. They must be controlling our minds somehow with that show...
New topic: Mundane Sports Achievements
When I was little I would go fishing in the river with my dad almost every weekend. One weekend we went to our favorite spot and found a tire half submerged about 3 feet off shore.
I got bored and put my line in the pool that had formed in the middle of the tire. My dad said "Quit fooling around... you're not going to catch anything doing that."
But I did... a little bluegill probably about 4 inched long.
I caught a garter snake once, and a toad on seperate nature hikes. They didn't live long, but they lived well.
Once, at lake Athabasca, I caught many tiny pickerel, just with a line and hook, no rod. We barbecued them and they were delicious.
The rain has so soaked the ground around the apartments that some of the crayfish have come up out of the ground. Some get trapped on the parking lot pavement with no way to get back up the curb to the dirt. I look out for them so I can trap them and set them up there.
