    I often complain about the Chatty Cathy's I work. Encountering the CC's in the non-work world is usually not as bad because you can move. However, I went to my chiropractor and decided to get a massage. The therapist would not shut up the entire time. She asked me how to make Taverns (referred to as Sloppy Joes in some areas). I'm here to relax, lady. So a couple questions... Has this happened to you before (stuck in a situation with a CC and can't easily leave)? What is a polite way to say, "Shut up?" Do any of you have TMJ? If so what have you found for relief? The chiropractor isn't helping much.

      Dangerous strategy that. She might be a lesbian on the look out for a girlfriend as well, and you're in her hands (so to speak) - difficult to get away.

            Pain or dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint is commonly referred to as "TMJ", when in fact, TMJ is really the name of the joint, and Temporomandibular joint disorder (or dysfunction) is abbreviated TMD. This term is used to refer to a group of problems involving the TMJs and the muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessles, and other tissues associated with them. Some practitioners might include the neck, the back and even the whole body in describing problems with the TMJs. --From Wikipedia My jaw goes out of place and when I open my mouth I can actually feel the jaw 'rock' to the left. I'm a clencher so my muscles tense and keep moving it out of place. My neighbor works from home so I have to be careful. A quick question can end up being a 20 minute conversation. All on her part.:)

                    Mine only got mostly-cured after I had braces to correct my bite. Braces weren't fun as a forty-something but, looking back, it was worth it. Took my orthodontist more than 2 years to get my teeth where he wanted them, they were that bad. They weren't particularly crooked but were so far away from the correct bite for the configuration of my jaw. I'm one of the three "star" patients on the first page of his before-and-after book. I haven't had a single incident since about 1/2 way through the process and the braces have been gone for 2 years. I still get a popping noise occasionally since my upper and lower jaws don't quite match in size but no pain or muscle spasms preventing me from opening or biting. Hmmmm, two years this week now that I think about it. :-D Judy :-D:-D (Aren't they purty?)

                      Take a long time to reply and use short responses that do not invoke additional details. Instead of replying: "Oh, I love taverns. I use my grandmother's secret recipe that has been handed done for generations" Reply: "*long pause* They have sloppy joe mix in the market."

                                There's a good chance that could backfire, with a much worse result.

                                      Wellbutrin doesn't help the narcolepsy though.

                                      I wasn't saying you should take Wellbutrin. I was pointing out the fact that any kind of mental stimulation caused by stimulating substances can cause tension throughout the body. Including the anti-depressant Wellbutrin. And yes, Wellbutrin can be prescribed to help relieve the symptoms of narcolepsy, but perhaps it didn't work for you and thats why you said that.

                                        I often complain about the Chatty Cathy's I work. Encountering the CC's in the non-work world is usually not as bad because you can move. However, I went to my chiropractor and decided to get a massage. The therapist would not shut up the entire time. She asked me how to make Taverns (referred to as Sloppy Joes in some areas). I'm here to relax, lady. So a couple questions... Has this happened to you before (stuck in a situation with a CC and can't easily leave)? What is a polite way to say, "Shut up?" Do any of you have TMJ? If so what have you found for relief? The chiropractor isn't helping much.

                                        Heh. Just got back from the dentist (cleanings). My wife and i scheduled our appointments to coincide, but i was done a good 20 minutes before she was. See, apart from briefly exchanging pleasantries, i don't talk to the dentist or hygienist, while she keeps a running conversation going with one or both of them throughout the entire appointment. Then again, she gets more free dental swag than i do, so i guess the chatty thing is working for her. And yes, she suffers from TMJ - they took a mold of her lower teeth and made a clear, flexible bite guard that she wears at night. Seems to work pretty well.

                                          When I met my wife some 20 years ago, she carried cards around in her wallet that said "Your story has touched my heart, never before have I come across a person with more trouble than you. My heart bleeds for you. Please accept this card as a token of my sympathy. Now f*** off and annoy someone else." I found a sample at: http://www.strangecosmos.com/content/item/102480.html[^] My apologies if this annoys somebody (not really) DR
