LOL Lou you still don't get it. These people I talk to is for 2-3 minutes tops most often. I wont speak to them for another 3-6 months or so. I'm not about to go some place for pop or something to say hi and answer a question about MIL's heath ECT. But I may run into 5-6 different people in the store that are all in the same group of people I don't see often. If I run into someone I really want to spend some time with I do do it elsewhere. My trip to the store are also pop in and out. I don't do all my shopping there, just pick up odds and ends. We raise most of our own meat and the wife cans. So butter, cheese, milk and bread about about it. Plus where I'm at everyone knows each other. So you go in the door, and people start saying hi. So a trip to the store takes on the average of 10 minutes, and 6 or seven minutes are spent talking to a couple of people, you spent more time chatting than shopping. I'm a guy that if undisturbed and there are no lines I'm in and out in that store maybe 5 minutes tops. Conversation goes something like "hi, how ya been" "oh Elaine is doing good, we took her shopping alst week". That's about it. So again what's the big deal? I don't visit in other stores because they are further away and I seldom see people I know. But no, I'm supposed to change my life style and spend extra money/time to make someone happy? And no, I've never had anyone complain to me that I'm blocking an isle. Ever. But I am the type of person who if I find something annoys me tries very hard to not to do the same thing to others. That's why I watch out for others. I hate having someone block an isle because they are visiting and are completely oblivious to what's going on around them. The most annoying are those who stop with their cart on one side of the isle and stand next to it looking at something on the other side.

So I think you mistake me for an "oblivion" who stands there to 5 minutes arguing with his fishing partner over what to take in the boat with them while I need something on the shelf behind them (happened to me this fall trying to get vinegar for my wife's canning, that's all that I was in there for). I either visit people I will have a long conversation with or have them visit me. Here the biggest problems are the people at convenience store who are most annoying. Buy a scratch off and stand right there and scratch them off then buy another or standing there BSing with the clerk about something.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors, A Woman's Touch - by Teri Burkholder. I thought I would give you a little background on how I got myself hooked on tractors and their restoration. My family is a very "crafty" bunch of people. By crafty I mean good with crafts!! My Dad is a retired industrial engineer from Bucyrus Erie which made big shovels for excavating and he is also a wonderful wood worker. My mom and my "guardian angel" has had her own ceramic shop for 30 years and is an excellent painter. With these skills always active in our house it was hard not t ... [Read Article]
