Well, I'm not sure if this is precisely what you mean, but...
I talk to things all the time. And I suppose you could say I am talking to myself, but I direct it at actual inanimate objects/animals/whatever. For example, I actually talk to the wind as well. On walks, when it blows particularly hard, I strike up a conversation about whatever is on my mind. I KNOW that it doesn't talk back; this isn't a hallucinatory thing. I also talk to trees, cats, etc., or just into the air.
And when you say that they simply come and you answer... well, I don't know exactly what you mean, but I do know that sometimes I randomly answer a question that just presents itself to me out of nowhere. Usually this is about something that's been on my mind, but it can be random.
I don't think this implies any level of craziness. It is just voicing random thoughts instead of keeping them in your head.
Admittedly, I don't know if my experience is very close to yours. But I would have to say that what you are describing doesn't sound very odd to me at all, especially because you acknowledge it and know it's going on.
