Good one, Jan, I’ve known people like this and I learned to tune out their endless chatter, but every once in a while they say something important and I totally miss it. John

Jan, your limerick hits a cord with many who have had to deal with a friend or associate who has this dread condition. There's a reason they say silence is golden. I have a sign in my office that says, "Always love your friends and use words when necessary!" Another thoughtful work my friend...

Get 1 or 2 customers a day like this. I don't talk to customers unless they talk to me and sometimes I wish they wouldn't. Shock horror Jan I got placed in Teppo Grens Cilla Black contest . Not my best work but it was a nice surprise I must admit . Cheers Jan have a nice weekend

No they don't stop...of course, if they did, where would we be? What would we all do? How would we all cope? Perhaps that one voice is more of a blessing. Beautifully penned, Jan.
