Are you social in real life?

[Mikey P]

far more effective than "look at my taco" posts on Facebook...


I spent the day with 35 locals cleaning our playground


Tomorrow I'll have close to 60 for an event I organized closer to home..

 

[Desk Jockey]

Man thats a lot of trash. Do people just dump shit there?

 

[hogjowl]

We don't talk about taco on FB

 

[Desk Jockey]

Thanks...I think.

 

[hogjowl]

It's no fun if you aren't there

 

[Mikey P]

Yeah, we caught one dude dumping his mattress today, drove right through our group.



He was from Alabama

 

[Mikey P]

Lots of Indians around here, too drunk to give a shit

 

[thecleaningdude]

"Look at my taco?" Ouch

"It's our land. I'll dump this '75 Ford Pinto here if I want".

 

[Cleanworks]

75 Ford Pinto? Is that a native species?

So, just to prove that I did look at the photos, was that another drunk in the red 4 x 4 on the extreme left of the group??

 

[Mark Saiger]

Cool - Cool

I didn't see how he did that but all those Jeep's are heavily modded. The Rubicon is their playground

Honestly, you didn't even come to mind but ....guilty as charged...lol

Hey! That was our former governor! Tell him all is forgiven and he can come home.

Not social at all. Once I'm done for the week I hide in/around my house or talk to the ten people in the world I like (present company excluded) until Monday morning

Me too!

Love the Jeeps! I'm a proud XJ owner myself. I would love to get hold of one of those Jeep forward controls and throw a truckmount in the back.

As far as social goes, I pretend to be but I'm really an introvert. I go to church and even fill in for other local pastors, but being around people is tiring mentally for my type. I prefer being in the backwoods fishing in a small pond with just my daughter.

 

[Mikey P]

Huge day today...

 

[bob vawter]

You're a good man Charley Brown. ...

[Mikey P]

Gotta blend in...

If I have to talk to more than ten people over an entire weekend, the weekend is effectively ruined for me....I completely get it Chris.

 

[Mikey P]

Not me...


I'm a real social butterfly

 

[Mikey P]

All of my pals are stunned at how easy I start up conversations with strangers

That's an art I wish I could master Mike.

People ask me what is the most difficult part about public speaking (other than at my place here).

My answer: Talking to people before the program begins, or at cocktail parties. I can talk to hundreds of strangers from a stage, but its like the first day of kindergarten for me if I have to walk up and introduce myself to them one by one in a group.

 

[Mikey P]

See...and I suck on a stage...

 

[Shorty]

I guess I'm pretty much anti social.

I don't do well talking with people.

This is as close to people that I'm comfortable with - at a distance, on a screen.

Unless I can talk about cleaning, photography, driving big rigs or skin diving, then I'm at home.

Otherwise, I prefer my own company & solitude.

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Now going back to the subject at hand, because as Marty would remind me "This isn't about YOU"

The sort of thing you did there Mike is an important way to build a new business (you are a newbie of course in Carson Valley Land), and also good to do to keep reminding the public that you are there and are part of the community once you've "been there" for a while.

Public speaking skills for a carpet cleaner? .."meh"

Socializing and making sure you are seen as a community supporter? Priceless.

I don't think I've ever talked to a neighbor besides for a waive before leaving for work in the morning. Such different areas.
