That’s funny Katrina! We were just talking about those blue tooth things at a meeting at church this morning and one of the ladies said she prays in the car and used to think people would think she was crazy and now she says she just pretends she has a blue tooth thing and hopes others things the same thing! LOL

Hey, I talk to myself all the time. I haven’t thought about the ear-piece excuse. That’s a good one. It’s always embarassing to glance at another car beside you at the stoplight and they are STARING at you conversing with yourself. Oh well.

Can I borrow that excuse, too? The sad thing is I have a bluetooth head set and I’ve never used it… it’s sitting on my desk right now, charging (has been charging for over a month) reminding me, “Jen it’s safer to use a bluetooth headset while driving you know you should really take me out one day,” and then I say, “I know, I promise I will soon,” And then my son says, “What?”

cannot stand earpieces! My hubby uses one and it drives me nuts when it looks like he may be talking to me and it’s actually one of his buddies. =P I prefer to just talk to myself or my four month old.

Lol, you’re not alone. I can’t stand those little headset things but I talk to myself a lot. 8 times out of 10 I don’t realize I’m doing it!

*snort* I swore up and down I thought those were the most awful piece of equipment on the planet until…I found I could do a load of laundry, have my then-infant son falling asleep in a sling, and still answer the phone while doing dishes! LOL I don’t use it much anymore but during that “newborn mommy hazing” period, it was a godsend! LOL

Oh, and I’m a “self talker” too but I was encouraged one day when someone mentioned that talking aloud to myself, the Vikings, or the universe in general seemed to make the Vikings exceptionally good conversationalists! *wink*

Within the last year I’ve acquired a bluetooth whatchamajig. While I have no problem using it while driving, I’m always self-conscious using it in stores. I take my phone out and make it obvious that I’m talking to “a real person.” I probably still look and sound weird, but it’s just how I am.

Glad you reran this.
