Isolated . . . Foot Typing . . . Need Conversation

Since I've been placed in isolation and not allowed to have sharp objects (doesn't matter, my arms are strapped to my sides anyway) I really miss conversation. Oh, the Doc is okay but he's always writing, while I'm talking I lay on the couch and look at the ceiling. Being on first name basis at the pharmacy speeds up things but a cure is . . .
Anything in the kitchen is too dangerous - everything becomes a weapon (give someone enough noodles and they could hang themselves!) And entertaining as olive oil can be, alone it's no where near as much fun. No wonder breads rise and eggs sizzle.
My balance is pretty good in my situation, a chair with arms is easier than a chaise lounge to get in and out of. I can only get a few hours day pass at best, the other 20 hours I'm counting tiles, washing things or screaming.
When life is normal, I am a nice person. I don't project the savage interior for just anyone. If I could find someone to hone my conversational skills, life would be much calmer. When learning about someone else, personal thoughts fall away, intellect is engaged and stars are not so far. Cartoons are calling, it's my turn at the remote (Viva Pi ~ ata!). Speaking of remote - where are you?
Oh . . . time references . . . I remember when Gilligan's Island was prime time viewing, Slinky was new, Godzilla and I are friends. I weigh more than ten gallons of water, less than a Volkswagon (beetle, not bus). I look like a woman, act like a lady, and laugh - maybe that's a bad thing.
Hate poison ivy, paper soda straws, opening twist caps with my teeth.
Looking for pickled garlic, friendly cats, good teeth.
Hair optional.
Please don't have any warrants or restraining orders at this time, unless you've filed against someone else (is my evil twin on the loose again?). Do you mind stepping up this time frame? There are only so many hours and so many years.
Do something about it NOW!
