I quite often get IM requests. I say OK, then the other person can't even hold up their end of the conversation. I do realize that not everyone has great typing skills, but, good Lord, I am getting tired and frustrated with one word responses. Why IM me if you're not prepared for at least a half decent chat? Anyone else feel the same way?

I don't use my IM, I just keep it turned off.

IMing is like getting a wet willy from someone you don't like.

What is AFLAC? Is it an American thing?

What is AFLAC? Is it an American thing? It's an insurance company, they use a duck on their commercials, and Gilbert does the voice of the duck. It's sort of a closed conceptual loop. I like that sort of stuff.

Anyone else feel the same way? That happens to me all the time! It is very frustrating. I am not sure why someone would say they want to chat, then say nothing!
