Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I am great at recognizing, but do I shut my mouth!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.not always!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It takes a lot of experience!. Foot in mouth disease is difficult to shake off as a childhood, built in from birth disease!.

Now that I am older and hopefully wiser, I hope I am getting better, but my older colleagues say that as you get older, the less is expected of you and actually more people expect you to spout off because you are expected to be senile and addled!.
It comes with the senior territory!. Wow!.Is that the only good thing with this aging bit!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

no!.!.circumstances overcome my wanting to be quiet!.
i promised someone in work i wouldnt reveal something then i opened my big mouth in the staffroom without a seconds thought!.!.i feel bad but i know i'll do the same againWww@QuestionHome@Com

No!. But I don't worry, what should I fear, losing love or being abducted(hahaha!) I have all the answers(so I think), no matter what I'm safe!. Even the world needs me now!.(Oops! my apologize's, I'ma new guy talking like that, lmao!)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am improving, we find ourselves acting like we know more than what we do!. Sometimes the smartest thing to do is to listen and keep our mouth shut!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm getting better!. It feels uncomfortable to leave a sentence trailing, but then I remember I can excuse myself to the bathroom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i guess!. i speak my mind any way and people respect me for it!. if they dont they sure dont indicate it and i keep it pushinWww@QuestionHome@Com

I find that life is best served spending most of our time listening than speaking!. I believe that it was St!. Francis of Assisi that said, "Preach the Gospel at all times - use words only when necessary!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

I probably don't speak up often enough, stay silent when I should speak!. My wife has timing down to a artform, when to speak & when to wait & be silent!. It has not rubbed off on me yet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I try "very hard" to be mindful of what I say but I still from time to time plow my foot knee deep into my own throat!.!.!.!.mostly at my own expense thank goodness! :O)))Www@QuestionHome@Com
