[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1498780, member: 17843"] Different upbringing is probably correct. When I was growing up, I used to think that all "normal" people were wired the same deep down, but for some reason, people just chose to do different things at times. As I've gotten older, however, I've learned that people are just wired differently and are influenced by many different things like upbringing and environment, and now I'm fascinated at what makes people tick. Workaholics can't understand why some people like tv and the recliner in the evening, and people who love vacations can't understand homebodies, and the list goes on. Concerning people stopping by, I suppose it would depend on several things as to whether I stopped and chatted. For one, it would depend on who it was. If it was somebody I saw all the time and they were just coming by a few minutes, I might keep piddling if it were something I could keep working on and be sociable at the same time. If I'm in the middle of mowing hay, they're not going to stop just to socialize anyway when they see what I'm doing. If I'm mowing the lawn, on the other hand, I'd feel silly to just keep mowing while someone was standing there. If it's a friend or relative I haven't seen in a while and I'm glad to see them, or if it's the preacher, I'm sure I'd stop what I'm doing and socialize. I don't have that issue anyway, because a "living room" visit is not really something people around here would expect in the middle of the day unless it's Sunday. It wouldn't be odd at all to have "company" on Sunday after church time since nobody is working, or at least no more work than what has to be done like treating a sick cow or something. [/QUOTE]
