What is entertaining is when guys think you are just a dumb female who doesn't know they are BS'ing you & you call them on it & you just casually drop into the conversation that you are a retired computer design engineer.....love watching them get their way out of that.

It is nice to be able tp be a part of many conversations & have something of value to add to it. Like the financial class I went to. My Acviunting degree knowledge let me contribute knowingly to the group....& I am the techi for all my friends who can't even figure out how to connect cables.

Of course at parties I always hung out eith the guys talking about work. Though I love cooking & kids it is not what I am interested in talking about though I can talk horses, dogs & vet studies & treatments too....while at the same time I can hold my own on equipment repair as I have done my share of that too.

I think being smart is just being able to know things so one can add to conversations in just a conversational way & not trying to show how much you know more than others.

I stink at trivia.
