I swear... we speak the same language, but nothing means the same. Carolyn and I have been married for 43 years - we have a rare philosophical discussion - we tend to understand each other. Its the little things. She'll say something that I think I understand. I'll do it, and it wasn't what she said to do - I repeated what she said - she said "that's what I said", I say, well "that's what I did" - she'll say, "no, it isn't."
Of course, Carolyn is always right - always, really she is right -- I'm just not hearing it right. I do love her so very much. It is simple things having to do with the computer or fixing something or whatever, but especially the simple things. I'm technical, I take a lot of shortcuts when it comes to computers, email, email attachments and that sort of thing. I tend to be less patient when it comes to things that I think are very simple, but can be very complex to others - especially those who are more analytical and need to have things discussed in a more detailed manner. I still think it is a language issue. I've said it before we have too many words that mean too many different things - some spelled identically and some spelled differently but pronounced the same - to, too, two - you know!
Well, enough of this drivel - more some other time!
