Perhaps Rich Chandler will finally get the clue he so desperately needs after all these years.
But I kinda doubt it.
Hello Its me 008 the blogger formerly known as 007
*LOOKING AROUND AT /FOR THE VAST AUDIENCE*
Welcome to 008
To start off this new year of more interweb finds
that I believe are in formative controversies
OMG maybe Even educational
let me start with something we all can agree on
That would be "I don't understand you"
or there are differences between the way boys and girls think
*WAITING FOR APPLAUSE AND STANDING ALVATION...HEARING /SEEING NONE*
Lets begin
A married couple was in a car when the wife turned to her husband and asked,
"Would you like to stop for a coffee?"
"No, thanks," he answered truthfully. So they didn't stop.
The result?
The wife, who had indeed wanted to stop,
became annoyed because she felt her preference had not been considered.
The husband, seeing his wife was angry, became frustrated.
Why didn't she just say what she wanted?
Unfortunately, he failed to see that his wife was asking the question
not to get an instant decision, but to begin a negotiation.
And the woman didn't realize that when her husband said no,
he was just expressing his preference, not making a ruling.
When a man and woman interpret the same interchange in such conflicting ways,
it's no wonder they can find themselves leveling angry charges of
selfishness and obstinacy at each other.
Status vs. Support.
Men grow up in a world in which a conversation is often a contest,
either to achieve the upper hand or to prevent other people
from pushing them around.
For women, however, talking is often a way to
exchange confirmation and support.
Independence vs. Intimacy.
Since women often think in terms of closeness and support,
they struggle to preserve intimacy.
Men, concerned with status, tend to focus more on independence.
These traits can lead women and men to starkly different views
of the same situation.
Advice vs. Understanding.
To many men a complaint is a challenge to come up with a solution.
But often women are looking for emotional support, not solutions.
Information vs. Feelings.
Many women are hurt when men don't talk to them at home,
and many men are frustrated when they disappoint their partners
without knowing why.
men hold center stage in a social setting, telling jokes and stories.
They use conversation to claim attention and to entertain.
Women can wind up hurt that their husbands tell
relative strangers things they have not told them.
Orders vs. Proposals.
Most men, resist being told what to do.
She is making suggestions, not demands.
Most women, formulate requests as proposals rather than orders.
Her style of talking is a way of getting others to do what she wants
- but by winning agreement first.
With certain men, this tactic backfires.
If they perceive someone is trying to get them to do something indirectly,
they feel manipulated and respond more resentfully than they would
to a straightforward request.
Conflict vs. Compromise.
In trying to prevent fights, some women refuse to oppose the will of others openly.
But sometimes it's far more effective for a woman to assert herself,
even at the risk of conflict.
When we don't see style differences for what they are,
we sometimes draw unfair conclusions:
"You're illogical," "You're self- centered," "You don't care about me."
But once we grasp the two characteristic approaches,
we stand a better chance of preventing disagreements
from spiraling out of control.
Learning the other's ways of talking is a leap across
the communication gap between men and women,
and a giant step towards genuine understanding.

So that's how I'm starting off this new year
Now I know this will get me in a lot of trouble butt .....
What do you think? or is "You Just Don't Understand"
We have to get rid of Dakota :( (a tale of two kitties...)
We found out yesterday just how much she abuses Willow (my baby), who's about a year her senior, when Cal and I woke up, we both went out of the bedroom to pee and stuff, and in doing that I saw Willow walk beside me, (she's a black cat) and between her shoulder blades, I saw more than a tuft of fur missing, so upon closer examination, I saw that it was bleeding slightly, just a teeny bit matted, and I got ANGRY, and sad too :( I was angry at Dakota, and sad that they are fighting this bad...well, not they, it's all Dakota, so we have to get rid of her, she's also been getting fat while Willow has been getting skinny, it just has to stop :(
... someone please explain to me what is wrong inside my father's head. How could he sit there, drink his coffee, get dolled up , ready to go out, while his friend of 16 years, can't even walk accross the room.
Now, all he wants to know is " how much did it cost ?" What the fuck is wrong with him ? I didn't take my cat to the vet yesterday hoping to kill her for a cheap price. If it would of taken a thousand dollars to make her as good a new, i would of gladly paid it. She just has stuff wrong with her, that couldn't be fixed.
I just don't understand my father at all. How could he leave her laying there, and not say a word about her, until he was 3/4 of the way to fucking club yesterday. I don't get it. I just don't understand.
He proved to me, what kind of a person he was yesterday. He proved to me, what he is, and what he cares about. He's an asshole. That deserves to get the crap kicked out of him. That's what he is to me.
Time will never heal this wound, or make me forgive my father. I am sorry that I am even related to someone that could do that. I hope what goes around, comes around. In the end, he'll meet his maker, and get what's come'n to him.
What's my plans for today ? Umm. I think i am gonna go out with my friend barbie. If she's still go'n out tonight. There is the busch series race to watch at 630. Other then that, I'll do whatever it takes to pass the time. Dinner was two cheeseburger's if that matter's to anyone.
I don't know what else to say for this blog. Anyone have any question's or comments. I feel so alone.

PARIS, France (AP) -- Divers have discovered a new crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster and is covered with what looks like silky, blond fur, French researchers said Tuesday.
Scientists said the animal, which they named Kiwa hirsuta, was so distinct from other species that they created a new family and genus for it.
A team of American-led divers found the animal in waters 2,300 meters (7,540 feet) deep at a site 1,500 kilometers (900 miles) south of Easter Island last year, according to Michel Segonzac of the French Institute for Sea Exploration.
The new crustacean is described in the journal of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
The animal is white and 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) long -- about the size of a salad plate.
In what Segonzac described as a "surprising characteristic," the animal's pincers are covered with sinuous, hair-like strands.
It's also blind. The researchers found it had only "the vestige of a membrane" in place of eyes, Segonzac said.
The researchers said that while legions of new ocean species are discovered each year, it is quite rare to find one that merits a new family.
The family was named Kiwaida, from Kiwa, the goddess of crustaceans in Polynesian mythology.
The diving expedition was organized by Robert Vrijenhoek of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in California.
