Friday’s Conversation Topics
This week is almost officially done! Thank goodness, I really need a break and a beer, in that order. I do not have “tiger blood” in my veins so I need to rest and relax in mortal ways. And, of course, communicate with people in an understandable language not necessarily of my choice. Although I feel great about myself others may not categorize myself as a “winner’. Sorry, I just had to get that out…lol… Anyways, here are this weeek’s most interesting news topics that you can read and later freely converse about. I’ll try my best to have no Charlie Sheen in any of them, I’ll try.
- Want to win your funeral costs? Sure you do, so if you’re German you have a contest to enter. A German local radio station is offering a competition prize much closer to home than an exotic holiday or tickets for a celebrity concert. That’s right, all expense paid funeral. Geesh…
- Kate Middleton flipping jacks. With photos. What a way to spend Shrove Tuesday. Maybe that’s why the wedding is scheduled for when it is, Kate can beg off of rich food for Lent instead of calling it a diet. Did they announce yet who the lucky dress-maker is? (Yes, Sarah Burton.) The dress is red…. hmmm…
- Woman offers sex to get out of speeding ticket. She get’s arrested for bribery and the target of a bizarre police report. It’s all caught on the cop’s traffic cam. She said she’d do “anything” in place of the $191.00 ticket.
- Don’t pee on an airplane anymore… that is, in the lavoratory. There’s no oxygen mask in that little cublicle so if you’re in there doing your business when a hole appears in the airplane (or something similar) and they have to rapidly descend, you won’t have an oxygen mask to wear resulting in lung trauma or death. Thanks FAA, flying isn’t scary enough already.
Life is Scary: Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Looking back in your time
Isn’t life just Super-Awesome?
Life always takes place in front of a live audience and, very often, the audience is unforgiving.
So much for Super-Awesome right? A little more scary life becomes, doesn’t it?
Sometimes when you look back at your life you manage to concentrate on just the good, or just the bad, not both.
Being a part of the Dating Scene requires that you work the good that has happened to you in your life into the conversations that occur when someone asks you “What did you do earlier in life?” or some other similar question.
Seriously, avoid the bad stuff like you wish you could have the first time back then.
By remembering our successes, and being able to talk about them in a non-glory-hound way, makes us just that much more interesting and attractive.
Try to keep this in mind as your online dating email messages turn into real world dates. Because they will, unless you screw up somewhere along the line. Guys, don’t screw this up.
For your dating profile headline of the day, post this:
“I’ve been looking back and don’t recall you there. Can we meet now?”
Have a great day!
Dating Profile Headline of the Day
Good conversationalist examples?
Isn’t it nice how neatly I title every dating headline sample post? Together with an easily understood title (headline) and combined with the actual day of the week it’s been published for… wow, sometimes I amaze even myself with logic and orderliness…
Which, of course, I really have no other control over other than the fact that it’s the way I’ve been doing it for 16 or 18 months now.
Habits are, well, habit forming.
If you have good habits, well good for you. Miss Manners will be proud.
If you have bad habits, well it’s only how other people see you, not the true way things are, so there, screw them… right?
I have a hard time with the unreality of people sometimes. Demands that are not only unjustified but unreasonable. I’d give you exact examples but then you might disagree with me and where would we be then?
LOL
A couple of weeks back someone said to me “You should be a writer” and I said nothing in return. Honestly, other than pop him one in the mouth what could I do? I’ve written hundreds of articles, been published on many websites and quoted in news articles and magazines. I’ve had my material outright stolen from me and published under the thief’s name… I could go on but all that does is make me madder, and honestly, I try to let these little things go. Even when they aren’t really that little.
And this little rant brings us not only to the headline I will suggest for you but also to a question you can answer me, or even just to yourself. The question first, the headline after:
“Do you consider yourself a good conversationalist?” Now I want you to keep in mind that it’s been said, rightfully so, that the best conversationalist is a good listener. So how would you rate yourself and why. Feel free to post your answer as a comment, if you dare.
And the headline I suggest that you post today is simple yet exciting:
“I can talk all night, but I’d rather listen to you.”
Have a great day!
Friday’s Conversation Topics
Fried Chicken
Surprise, surprise….
You do need to be knowledgeable but not snobbish, not borish.
You want to be able to talk about topics that are recent and interesting, not obscure. And not too recent or you’ll not be able to “share” the conversation, which is the real key of having an interesting conversation… sharing knowledge and listening more than hearing your own voice.
Now that we have how to be a good conversationalist, and how to treat these articles out of the way, on to the task at hand, our conversation topics for Friday:
- 47% of Americans pay no federal income taxes. Now, that’s not to say that most people don’t pay taxes of any kind, but really, who’s paying for what in this capitalistic society? I mean, come after us all you want but we do take care of the less fortunate here, don’t we?
- Does California Govenor Mr.Schwarzenegger really have the clout to close down a website that rates London, England’s prositutes? Is he the Inter-Minator or what??
- “Where’s my chicken“ screams a man and starts swearing at the fast food staff. Another customer in line asks the man to stop swaering “for the sake of the children” and gets punched in the head… then the swearing guy’s girlfriend punches him in the head… Oh yeah, police arrest two…. lol.
These are your conversation starters for today… enjoy!
And talk up a storm, OK?
