Time to call out the men in white coats

[Glyn]

i find u have to be really gentle with them and if u use a sexy voice they grow even bigger and better 

Are we sure we're talking about plants here?
;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't worry you're not alone.

I say hello to newly germinated plants. And to newly opened flowers. and to the edible bits when they start to set.

I apologise to plants if I accidentally hurt them.

And to birds for scaring them away.

and I talk to insects.

And I literally said "tell me what's wrong" to a pepper plant that was looking a bit sick.

And yesterday I apologised to a kitchen cupboard door when I kicked it.

:-\

Caught Romeo talking to the post this morning:  "here, little letters, come and be opened ... ".  At least most of us only talk to plants & animals (& cupboard doors?!).

[wardy]

Does anyone speak to the cash machine or is it just me?  ;D

[bunnycat]

I do that!!!! I speak to the cash machine ;D

Usually with a bemused and head shaking hubby standing near by :-\

[Glyn]

"mummy will take you to the allotment" - sounds ok, but the "you" refers to a crazy daisy thing.

I have always talked to the cash machine.  My OH thought I was crackers when he first heard.  Now he knows I am.  I also talk to my car.  And the cat.  And my pooter.   And my mobile phone .......

[lilylover]

phew!! Thank gawd for that! Thought it was just me who talked to frogs (go get em babies)  and slugs ( bugger off next door) and plants ( grow well my pretties)  :-\ Was checking the porch door was locked last night and caught myself thanking the night scented stock for smelling so nice  ;D Yes they smell just as nice in a basket indoors  :P

[waggi]

we talk to cows and horses and well all farm animals when we go on farms i work on  ;D
some times we make friends and they follow us does this make us both mad
we dont talk to the cash machine as it is not our friend at the moment (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cash machine) >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

[clairenpaul]

So pleased to hear other people talk to the cash machine -I called for some money on my way out with a friend and when I got back in the car she was doubled up laughing cos she'd seen me say "Thankyou" to it. That was nothing, she's never seen me when it gives me bad news   :-[

[Carol]

oh heck, we are all nutters!!!  I talk to anything that moves.  OH never has much to say so everything else gets it.  I shout on the pheasant to come for his feed.  Then its 'who is a clever boy then'  'where you been today'  'where is your lady today' bla bla bla.  I also have a word with cars and really quite sad when one has been sold and its on the way to a garage for sale.  So I take aphoto of it and then stroke it and say 'Thanks' Also when a car goes past another 1000 miles, OH and me, touch the dashboard and say 'Well done'.  So I think we are all crackers but never mind  I am Happy.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[Marianne]

And there's me, Carol, thinking I was the only one who talks to animals and machines !!  But there are others!!! :o ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[waggi]

[Marianne]

Sounds good to me Waggi !  ;) ;D

[moonbells]

Thanks, everyone. Makes me feel sooo much better to find I'm not the only one who apologises to songbirds for scaring them off,  is sarcastic to cash machines and chats to plants and bees.

Still like Alan Titchmarsh's story about the old chap who taught him saying you have to address every plant you put in by taking one step back and then saying 'Grow you b*gger, grow!'

And I often call the pigeons very rude names indeed.
