These Hi-Def TVs are sweet, but have you ever seen the actors and actresses on one of these things??? Some of the women I thought were hot - really look terrible... These TVs show off all of their flaws and everything! Thank God for makeup and lighting... It helps a little.
I hate this TV.
Anyway...
Here is another conversation tip to consider when you're out on a date or talking on the phone or socializing with a group of your buddies this week.
Talk about yourself.
- what good news (or bad) have you heard lately and how do YOU feel about it
- what is the funniest thing happened to you this week
- what is the weirdest thing you've seen today
- have you thought about cooking anything lately or learning how to cook
- do you have a dilemma
- are you sick and tired of working at your current job
- have you had any ailments lately
- are you thinking about going back to school/college and getting a degree
- have you had poor customer service lately
- is there a place you hate to go because the employees are "ghetto"
- did you hear anything interesting on radio show this morning
- has someone offended you or pissed you off recently because they are a jerk or deceitful
- have you thought about going on a diet or working out
- are you planning a trip or vacation
- have you gotten a good deal on anything lately
- have you been to any new restaurants or stores lately
- do you need ideas for a gift to get for a friend or your Mom or someone who's sick
- are you sick and tired of being treated like dirt by a friend, your boss, or your mate
- is someone trying to manipulate you
- have you caught someone in a big lie recently
- do you feel you're being overworked at home or at work
- is one of your family members or friends or children involved in drama that you have to help solve
- have you been overcharged or sold a defective product recently
- what do you remember about the good old days
- is there restaurant or venue or event that you miss going to
- who is your favorite team and what do you think they'll do this year
- have you heard anything shocking about anybody lately (scandal; death; dating; termination)
- do you have any exciting plans this week
And, you could go on and on and on...
Remember, many statements about yourself or your life are like "bulletins" that tell people what you got going on or how you feel or what your plans are or what you're thinking. Your preferences. Whatever. And, it's not always a bad thing.
Sometimes, talking about yourself can spark a good conversation about a specific issue or dilemma the person you're talking to is having. Maybe you could help them solve their problem or give them a chance to vent.
Maybe you got a good deal on food or gas. Who wouldn't want to know about that???
With these types of conversations, you could easily move from small-talk to deeper levels of thought and on to even deeper levels of conversations that can bring about a connection and understanding between you and a new prospect - or your friends and family.
And, don't feel too shy to do a little trash-talking about how good your favorite team is or how you overcame an obstacle or how you got a hook-up on a sweet deal. Be excited. Enjoy the things in your life every once and a while. It's only when people go on and on and on about themselves or what they're doing, that sickens others. The key is to read other people's interest (from their eyes, body language, and responses).
And, I know I'm wearing you down with all of this yappin' and jibba-jabba that I'm doing right now, so I'm gonna let you go.
Take care and don't be shy!
Have Fun! That's the key.
