Rambling On

     Sometimes I talk too much tending to ramble on a bit.  No one likes a rambler but before I know it I've rambled all over a conversation.  It feels good to talk about ones self or knowledge of a particular subject.  Guess it's the ego thing that traps me but other people don't find that aspect of a conversation  nearly as interesting as you think they do.  A good conversation should be back and fourth with listening and responding.  It's just that sometimes my brain wants to skip the listening part and go straight to the talking part.  Oh I might be interested in listening at first  but that darn  ego rears it's ugly heat and the talking starts.  "Could not get a word in edge wise"  has been used on me more times than I've used it on someone else.  It would behoove me to get my point across with fewer words.  I don't want to be known as a compulsive rambler.
