they always had candid conversationsprided themselves on honesty brutally honest in his case Max was gentle but that was because he tried to not hurt anyones feelings

You should be kinder.

Kinder gets ya wasted time

Wasted time?

Certainly things can be identifieddistilled to their discrete parts quickly agreedisagree  I cut to the chase more often than not people prefer to drag their feet  impatiently I cut to the quick end the kerfuffle

Kerfuffle. Haven’t heard that word in a long time. Sounds like a sweet dessert.

                                                                                   At least you recognise you’re impatient.

I become impatient when people drag their feet 

                                                  Otherwise I can be patient

                                                                             Youve seen that

I have.

Yes Ya don drag your feet

I do not, but then you usually bring me around . quickly . . present yourself . concisely; leave little wiggle room.

Thanks Max

You’re welcome.

                    So what have you heard from your girlfriend?

Radio silence

               Seems lots of women in my life have gone radio silent

Perhaps because you allo NO . no . . provide them room, their space.

Thats a no-brainer

I wouldn’t say that, I have trouble when people go silent on me.

Theyre working their way through things Why would we interrupt  That would be rude

I’m sure I could help.

If they wanted your help theyd ask

So how do you step back, restrain yourself?

Knock on woodI cant remember a time I felt compelled to restrain myself

                                                                            I believe no news is good news

No news is no news.

 Ouch

         I think you hurt my lone feeling
