That's cool Shanna!
They should have opened their yaps up before this and said something to you.Anyways, they fessed up and said that half the time they have NO IDEA what I might be talking about.
LOL!!!!! ;DYou strike me more as someone with a trollycar of thought, it zips all over town, skeetering down little side streets and making dozens of stops per day, with a cute bell that ding-ding-dings to get people out of the way.
And the conductor wears a boater and a bow tie, and his name is Clancy.
Haaa haaaaa.. Yes. It's something like that. :laugh: In person, I can carry a conversation, but it's not typically about "girl" things. The other wives seem to be void of any type of conversation that is intellectually stimulating. When I do hop in on the conversation, my contribution may have properties that reach too far above their heads. I have to keep it "simple" with them.dweck said:I only 'know' you from the board, Shanna, but the idea of you having a train of thought strikes me as odd. I can't imagine you with a train of thought.

One of the things they were talking about was recipes. My eyes were going crossed. AND YESSSSS... the feet shuffle. When I proposed the question of oxygen and hydrogen.... they laughed and said something like .. OH NOOOO... DON'T GO THERE WITH ME. I mean... they couldn't even THINK about it. They could have cared less about automobiles that run off of hydrogen. I think it's cool. They were more interested in who had the best deal on pedicures. It is hard for me to slip into their mode. It's not natural.Rangermom said:Shanna,
I have to admit that I am not a good "girl' things conversationalist. When your friends would be talking about those things, I'd probably be shuffling my feet, feeling like a fish out of water, hoping that Shanna would take the conversation on her trolley car ride of thought (Dan, you have a way with words).
THAT is precisely what it took. After enough alcohol I told them that their thought process didn't root very deep. :laugh: They didn't get it. BWAHAHAAAAHAAAAJinx said:I don't think I could handle conversing with them for very long without copius amounts of alcohol. :laugh:
You mention tornado to them and all they will tell you is that they are going to the tunnel if one is coming. If I said F2 to Wife #1, she would think I was talking about some new Hummer. :laugh:Champs Mom said:Did you try conversing with them about tornados? Maybe that would work.Shanna is the only one I can discuss tornados with. We are booking our next vacation with the storm chasers.
Well THANK YOU. After being around them, I really do have to reflect on myself and ask... who has the problem... them or me? I always conclude that it's just this sort of thing that makes the world go round.2LabsInNEPA said:Cool! Glad to hear that you had a breakthrough!! And I love your trolly-car of thought. You keep us on our toes around here!!![]()
