Dinner Conversation ..... T M I

There should be rules about dinner conversations.  In fact, there should be rules about old people ALL the time.  I'm sure you know one .... those folks who talk about every bodily function imaginable to everyone who will listen, and even those who are walking away.

Why is that?  I've always been rather a quiet, reserved person, not willing to share much about my health issues, but some people will just go on and on and on.  Case in point, I was very reticent when an acquaintance (who shall remain nameless) called to ask me out to dinner.

Not a "date", just a friend who I would rather remain a friend in spite of my needing a handyman.

Unfortunately, I've decided to delete the rest of this post.  It's not nice to talk about other people, especially when they are your friends.  My apologies.  Suffice to say dinner turned out to be a TMI conversation about a recent surgery and everything that accompanied it.  Try as I might, I could not seen to get the conversation going in another direction.
T M I is the name of the game.  TOO MUCH INFORMATION!   Please do NOT bring up all that bodily function conversation unless you've been married for thirty years and are talking to your spouse.  It did have it's funny points, including the next booth neighbors.

The picture above is the latest quilt with binding finally in place.  I think this is my all time favorite, the first one I did not make from a kit.  I actually chose the fabrics.  Having found a sampler quilt challenge on-line, free including all the directions and videos, I'm starting on a new project that I hope will erase all those TMI thoughts and images from my mind.

  2. Friend or no friend, I'd have stopped him mid sentence and said "That's not proper dinner conversation and if it's all you care to discuss, I'm leaving." I wouldn't sit through that conversation with a close relative, let along a friend.

    That quilt is beautiful.

    1. I tried to be nice, but in the end felt bad I complained about a friend. I took the blog down.

  3. Don't know if you are having same problem, but Blogger is not sending out an email when people post a comment on my blog, and I saw many others who had the same problem. NOW I have to check blogger comments through blogger each day, including the moderation ones (3 days or more old which are normally spam, but not always) GRRRR

    1. I didn't notice, since I check blogger every day anyway. Guess I better take a closer look.

    2. I think you are right ... it's funny to me that people feel impelled to tell you every tiny detail. Next time I'll be more forward in changing the conversation.

  5. Understand exactly what you mean and you are kind not to share details. Some people just have no 'couth' no matter how nice they are.
    Beautiful quilt, Nancy, absolutely love the colours AND the backing!
