Great Conversations
I just had a friend tell me I was starved for intellectual companionship. Ugh, I think she was kindly telling me I was boring her to death!I realize how much I miss my dad for stretching the imagination and having hours-long conversations about everything mainstream to the esoteric.
Who scratches your mental itch?

Re: Great Conversations
To be honest, I would love to have a long, long chat with the late astronomer, Patrick Moore. He could teach me everything about which star is which, and all the different planets etc.I was never taught science or astronomy in the Catholic School, so know about as much about the stars today as when my mum used to sing me to sleep with ''Twinkle Twinkle little Star."

Clearly I am not competent to answer simple questions, let alone carry on a decent conversation with anyone.

If the friend said that YOU were "starved For intellectual Companionship" surely that means your friend did not feel up to the job?
Fear not. We think you're great.
