Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» Some show up, reply, and never answer the question I asked. They go off on a riff of their choosing ignoring my question. Anyone know why?
I, for one, spend hours replying to many of your questions/comments ... only to delete some of them before posting. If I start to ramble, or if I can't coalesce my thoughts, I'll give up. Sometimes I just run out of time. I spent an hour on the last question of yours that I answered... only to end up with just a small paragraph after "editing".
This troubles me a great deal. I thought your replies always flowed easily. I had no idea the questions you answered that I asked caused you to spend so much time. The fault must lie with me Shuhak. From my perspective you are always spot on with your replies. Always. So if you find it difficult then it is the fault of the nature of the questions or my choice of words or the history of the questions I ask which might cause you to wonder if I'm talking in the language of figurative, literal, metaphor, analogy. Now I had better take stock and rethink my approach. I'm serious. Thank you for hanging and investing the time. I had no idea. SIGH. :(

I assure you the "fault" is totally mine. You see, my mind thinks at a high rate of speed, but my fingers can't type that fast. The replies flow from my head just fine, but my fingers can't keep up. The result is a jumble of sentences, paragraphs and incomplete thoughts; half of which even google spell check can't identify. I have to go back and try to make it all into a coherent statement. Sometimes I get so frustrated with myself that I give up - especially when I accidently hit the 'CTRL' key instead of the 'shift' key and either delete everything or close down the browser tab (that is SO annoying!!!!).
I am far away from being the perfectionist you are Shuhak. Jim is a perfectionist too. And you know what? I'm a lot more content with things than he is. He has an "engineer" mind and always looks for and ALWAYS finds the flaws in things. I don't even notice them. So I'm content happy satisfied with what is and I know my Jim will always be a crankbox because nothing ever is at optimum to him. It's simply how we are wired. I can adjust make do settle. He finds it really hard if not IMPOSSIBLE to do all that and be happy. I feel sorry for him but that's just how he is put together. We are whom we are and it's nice to encounter people who accept that and work with it. I mean you work with me ALL THE TIME so that's why your reply really SHOCKED me. Anyway I'm glad we cleared that up. Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday! :)
