Miss Communication

Ok there comes a time when you realize just how fragile communication between two people can really be. I will give you some examples. Yesterday my father and I went to Walmart. In the parking lot, as I was unbuckling my seatbelt, he turned to me and asked "What are we going in with?"  I was confused. I didn't know what he was talking about, I looked at him hoping to find some glimpse of what he was talking about in his face or his eyes. Nothing. After exhausting all hope for figuring out what the hell he was talking about I said "Our dignity?" My father's face just contorted and then he busted out laughing. We both laughed.  He looked at me like I was crazy...and well...I am.

My second example of miscommunication was with my sister. She called me up today talking a hundred miles an hour about everything under the sun. You know those days when your thoughts are arranged correctly but your mouth just can't keep up with you. Well she was having one of those days. She was explaining to me about her new outfit and where she got it. Her brain was focusing on two different names for the same place. The place is called Dressed for Success but there is another store called Dress for Less. After merging the two together in her head she blurted out that she was Dressed for Lesbians. I was in shock. I didn't know the mechanics of what she was thinking like I just explained it right now until I ask "What?! You're dressing for lesbians?" My sister is not a lesbian. Not that there is anything wrong with being a lesbian but she just caught me off guard.

It's the little things in life like trying to convey a simple thought through words that can trip you up. It makes us say silly things that we normally won't. It makes us give cryptic messages without any hint at what the hell you are trying to say. Hey at least this post isn't about the restroom, right?

Until next time...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
