You understand or no?
One thing that's really bugging me, especially these days, when details are so important, is that you have to explain what you need 1000 times to someone who should understand in an instant what you need, without having to repeat yourself and rephrase 2000 times. That's 3000 times unecessarily exercising your jaw, saying the same thing over. It could have taken 1501 times less time when someone with a half-basic brain could have understood.
That's my mathematical philosophy for the day - it shall repeat itself tomorrow, and the day after - and there's no going back, as per the law of probability.

hmmm sorry.. i didn't get you.
LOL you didnt' get ME?
I thought I had already spelt out what I was trying to say, without having to say it all...
You need to come back to relive the miscommunication that goes on between the cultures here to appreciate what I've written about.
...and reading the title whilst shaking your head from side to side will aid you in your comprehension ;)
yeah,
no wonder you call your self a princess.
shoo! yo gatta relax
ooo @ 3rd comment
qaweya!
LOOOOOL.. I guess my sarcasm wasn't appreciated :)
I know exactly how you feel about life in the pot where cultures meet but do not melt.
What you seem to have forgotten is that, without exception, everyone here is doing whatever they're doing for the first time, even if it's just changing a light bulb.
No matter... one language this land understands is MONEY. Show a little of that and your work is done without you uttering a word.
Oh Buj, so dated the 'meet but not melt' phrase..come up with something original pulleeeeeeeeeeeeez.
what do you suggest CG?
why are you asking me? I met and melted.
yeah but not everyone is like you.
you sound relieved.
from what little i know i guess that is true.. and i just discovered from ur last posts that we share the HATE of something common.. that makes us friends no? loooool
Us, friends? Are you bonkers?
If I was friends with everyone I had something in common with then I would be the dregs of the pot by now.
maybe your cynicism stems from your absolute lack of ability to make friends?
It may well do.
and maybe your rudeness stems from bitterness. about what, I wonder.
oh sorry.. i didn't mean my criticism to come out rudely.. ah.. well.. we all get bitter no?
how we deal with it makes the difference.. what's with your pic anyway? ru a shaker?
like you don't know.
i know very well.. i just wanted others to know too.
i guess you'd enjoy the exposure and i'd enjoy having the honour
enjoy no more. BOSS
ha - i*maginate, your post has been published in GN yo.
people, we have a celebrity blog in blogosphere.
btw lovely post - very well told :)
lol tell me about it! Even after asking for a 'Chilled watermelon juice', the guy asks: Do you want it with ice? :D
hahahahhahahaah...
could not stop laughin.
suffering from a "communication and comprehension" problem myself.
and it just gets funnier.
Think of it not
Think of it not as miscommunication but as negotiation.
People hear things with hopeful hearts, or misplace what you say alongside their own appetites or concerns.
This happens frequently regardless of culture or nationality.
Sometimes the listener's cultural requirements will filter out your request entirely.
Next time if there's a question, sum up that person's reply to your question ... preferably in different terms than the first time.
Sometimes, it's the particular term or syntax that's causing the problem. One can always dream and hope ;)
World, thank you for your wonderful insight.
I'm afraid when language is too crossed most of the time, the opportunity to "dream and hope" becomes merely a dream, a hope, a wish. That's when the real problems start, and I mean: real. (!)
