I talk to myself. And I'm a big thinker, as is my brother and the same with my father. So I didn't see this as a problem that should be discussed with a professional. It's normal.
I still talk to myself but now that I'm older and don't hear so well I'm talking a lot louder. Others can hear me. They can be a half a block away. Now I'm beginning to think I should have had this checked out a long time ago.

consider this a nothing moment of self discovery

That's nothing like your keyboard and not made by playschool. Is it?

NOTHING doing tomwed it was just surprising because it was so lite and compact but absolutely perfect. No Playschool involved it’s just I need to be deprogrammed from seven weeks in NJ with the grandchildren! It was sad that someone didn’t step in and save Toys R Us! Poor

I hope NOTHING has felt more like a friend to you rather than a burden while you've been on duty. Our expectations of you are NOTHING except that you stay safe and hopefully have the time and energy to let us know that you are. I guess what I'm trying to say is that our purpose is to let you know we are here for you, cheering you on, and praying for your safety each day. On your end, I was thinking it is nice to have a 24 hour NOTHING to just lay it out there, whatever you want or need at the time, and not feel like you're really disturbing anyone.

Which takes me back to the night I was in the ER with my husband and we weren't sure whether it was just a kidney stone or something more serious. They wouldn't allow me to go right back with him and I was sitting in the waiting area, alone and concerned. I wanted to talk to someone but didn't want to call or even text someone at that hour - it was after midnight. So I posted on NOTHING and there you were K. Thank goodness for our left coast friend. You stuck with me through the whole ordeal, showing concern, encouraging me, and even making me laugh at times. I can't believe as I'm writing this it's bringing tears to my eyes - what a sissy I am. But I guess it just goes to show that your act of kindness and generosity of time (it was many hours) meant that much to me. Thank you for being my NOTHING friend.

My reason for posting this is that I hope you feel the same kind of concern, encouragement, and laughter from us to you.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of you. NOTHING is like stopping at the old neighborhood bar on the way home and catching up on everyone’s day.

So catch us up but only if you feel up to it. How was your day? I'm sure it was more than NOTHING. Is your tent still standing?

Tent’s fine. I’m NOTHING but wore out though. Everyone was dragging today.

Just one more shift and a drive home.

I talk to myself all the time too. Just ask my husband. I always complain that he doesn't listen to me when I talk. He says it's because I talk to myself so much, he never knows when I'm actually talking to him. Can you imagine the vicious NOTHING circle this creates in our house?

Welcome to NOTHING, Matzy.

I have to apologize for not welcoming another first time poster a few days ago - welcome to NOTHING as well, South2C.

All are welcome here.

I NOTHING but hear ya! From ALL THE WAY UP HERE! LOL.
I think a whole lot of people do the same thing. Not to worry it's probably healthy. Mrs. Nucky does it all the time and I'm a little hard of hearing because I've listened to music too loudly my whole life. She always starts out each conversation with herself with "that son of a B".

Like clockwork, here I am. Same time, same NOTHING station.

Good morning, everyone! It's Tuesday, September 4th, K's final day on duty at least for this time around. Tomorrow he heads home.

Make your last day a safe one, K.

Still doing the NOTHING Bat gig, ay? No wonder you get no sleep at night. Not sure what my excuse is because I've been up at all hours too. Maybe I'm turning into Batwoman.......

My husband will say things I don't quite hear and I will say what? Then he will inform me he was talking to the dog. That is our NOTHING circle.

Glad to hear that wash, rinse, repeat will be done for a while. I have been looking at the incident reports and see that the winds have been NOTHING you want right now.
