Right Brain/Left Brain: 29 Years of Miscommunication

I am no spendthrift and definitely no fashion queen. As a matter of fact, I have a tendency to wear clothes and shoes way past their expiration date. I actually had a pair of boots fall apart in a shoe store, forcing me to purchase a new pair so that I could continue with my day. So when I recently bought some new jeans using coupons coupled with a sale, I put them on and asked Jack what he thought of them. A few weeks earlier I bought a pair of sandals on sale so I donned the whole ensemble. I might be one of the few women in America who can get buyer’s remorse after spending $30 total on jeans and a pair of shoes.

“So what do you think?” I ask Jack.

“I like the jeans,” he says, “but the shoes are different.”

“What do you mean by ‘different’?” I ask, a little annoyed at the somewhat critical sounding, non-description.

“I mean they’re different,” he says flatly.

Rolling my eyes in exasperation, I look down to discover that when grabbing the shoes from my closet, I grabbed a right and a left, but I’m wearing a mismatched pair of sandals, a different style on each foot.

Our communication styles will never mesh.

So Where's the Transparency?

I just sent a message to www.God.com. The reply was "Address Not Found." I guess I understand, but shouldn’t we at least have his/her e-mail address by now?
