that might explain why you have mice and ants. Probably there is a rumour going round that someone is talking to the grass and they came to check it out

All the time. I concluded Love is the most unholy thing because people fall in love and falling hurts. Happy Valentine's day flit and fly butterfly. By the way, talking to self is supposed to be healthy. I read it somewhere.

I have never got into an argument with myself yet. I guess it's because I'm always right

My husband talks to himself because he says that is the only way he gets the right answers.

I can see how the different uses of the word break could confuse new English speakers. Yesterday I used the word pulses, meaning lentils, beans, etc. My friend thought I was talking about pulses - relating to our heartbeat

I do sometimes talk to myself, and sometimes to others as well. I am not always polite to me. One reason I avoid self checkouts at the store is some of them talk, and I talk back.

I totally avoid self checkouts as I prefe talking to a real person and not to a machine - but you have a point. If I used one I would probably get mad at it and talk aloud, telling it off!

I talked once to myself in the mirror but Chicca was sitting on top of the washing machine which is opposite and she couldn't work that out at all

Talking about chores that need doing... no I refuse to talk about them right now as I have so many notifications to catch up with - but the washing machine has finished and if I don't hang out the washing no-one else will

@much2say I was free today with no errands to run and other than risotto at lunchtime and then pancakes this evening and then the washing to hang out when the washing machine ended, I was here all day. Though... now that I have written it all down I was not here ALL day at all because added to that was the washing up twice too!

Sometimes, when I'm talking on myLot I start laughing hard enough that I fall out of bed.

Pretty comes running in asking if I'm alright...

Then she reads what I just read and falls onto my bed laughing.

Then I start asking myself why I shared funny things on myLot with her... She just keeps reading.

@mysdianait I do understand... sometimes, someone who doesn't speak English as their first language says something that just... uhm... sets me off and I can't stop laughing.

If I know them fairly well, I send them a message and explain what they said so they can correct it. If I don't, I say nothing and hope nobody else notices what I did.
