I talk to me, the cats, the dog, the donkey, the cows, the quineas, and especially Annie the goat. She always answers.
You can never have enough friends.
Please come and sit a spell with me at Life on a Southern Farm

I definitely talk to myself - have done for years. My mom used to tell me she knew when I'd had a bad day in high school because I would walk across the lawn with my lips moving. That would be her que to be sitting at the kitchen table when I came thru the door. I talk out loud and my son says "mom who ya talkin' to? And of course he laughs at me. A lot of personal dilemas get solved this way. Here's a quote I found somewhere..."Yes, I live in my own little world, but that's ok, they know me here!" hehehe

Of course I talk to myself, usually it's when I'm frustrated with a situation. LOL Alee can confirm this. Last time she was home I was trying to wrestle sometihing out of a cupboard in the kitchen and I was merrily singing away. "I hate this kitchen, I hate this kitchen." It makes me laugh at myself and I figure it's better than throwing stuff. ;) Sage

Oh yes, I talk to myself because I'm the only one who really listens. Why bother everyone else when I can understand myself so well and I get an answer everytime I ask a question. LOL! Great question.

I definitely talk to myself. I do it all the time. I do it in my head and out loud. I guess that I have always done it... was an only child too for a long time. Then my brother and sister came to live with us... still talked to myself. They didn't seem to get my point or my jokes... I also do answer myself. Doesn't matter if I am alone or with my family. Everyone is used to it.  Glad to see I am not alone......?intelligent or insane?... hmmmm good question  |

I talk to myself...even say "excuse me" when I burp when I'm alone!
My sister, who is profoundly deaf, signs to herself when no one is looking. I've surprised her a few times to see her signing away at top speed to with no one else there! |

Well farmgirls, there are already 26 of you doUtalk2U poll takers. I thought i would set the time and day for the hankie sachet+ drawing when 10 or so gals had weighed in on this subject, sO, since that goal has passed, i will draw a name from all the names that have already answered and those who will answer my question between now and then on thursday afternoon (feb 28- 3pm pacific time).
I have really enjoyed finding out that i am not that unusual! I love that Jessie's deaf sister sign's to herself!
I was at the grocery store yesterday and i asked myself (outloud i guess, 'cause heads turned) what i wanted to make for dinner and then set about getting the ingredients to make my answer. (fyi -Roast chicken and mashies -yum)
keep 'em coming.
love, karen

I have always talked to myself. Of course I try to refrain from it in public. ;) I have always done this and now that I am home by myself most days I talk to myself or the dog. I see nothing wrong with it.

I talk to myself out loud and have always done so. Especially at work, when I'm trying to figure things out. I talk to the animals, but that's not talking to myself, is it? I talk to myself in the car, in the store and sometimes I think, "when I am an old woman, they'll think I'm crazy!" Well, actually I don't think it, I say it to myself outloud!!

Jessie- My son John is deaf and does the same thing as your sister. He will stand in the bathroom signing to himself in the mirror. An entire conversation goes on in that bathroom and heaven help you if you interrupt it!! His reaction when he gets caught is hilarious. Talk about a red face!! Glad to know he is not alone!

Well, I did the drawing for the hanky sachet and herbs. I put all 31 of your names onto slips of paper and put the slips into a bowl. No one was here to help me, so, without looking, i pulled a name out, after mixing it all really well.
Congratulations goes to "bayoubunch - Lorij" !
Lorij, please email me with your mailing address. I will be emailing you in addition to this posted request...
Thanks to everyone for making me feel really good about my chatting to & with myself.
Now i think i'll ask you all if you sing in your front yard? I do... this is the next step up from talking to myself, i think.
Also, better ask if you all play scrabble alone, I do. I play myself on a real board, as well as, on the 'puter virtual version. Maybe i'm not the only one who does either of these...you tell me.
Love, karen
