Semantics

Semantics is the study of how meaning in language is created by the use and interrelationships of words, phrases, and sentences and also the study of the relationship between symbols and what they represent and lest us not forget the study of ways of interpreting and analyzing theories of logic.

And so tonight here we go…
As I have journeyed into this realm before discussing how sometimes misunderstandings occur due to not explicitly getting your meaning of what you want to be known, i.e. expressed properly; got that?
I am guilty here at my own self-imposed blogging venue, and perhaps more than I should be with this daily exercise in trying hard to determine my ability to have my ideas known for everyone to get, hopefully so understand as well.
By now, it should be as easy as pie, hmm?
But as we all know that is not so.
Finding the proper way to deal with misinterpretation is an everlasting and tedious task.
Some times, the way my mind works or doesn’t, it makes it most difficult.
It’s not that I don’t get what I must say, in my head I do know exactly, but how does one express those thoughts where others get them too?
Sounds in theory so simple, but unfortunately not so!
Even in emails I screw up and my mind seems to twist the actual meaning of things I get sent. And so, I find myself misinterpreting or explaining what I think needs to be cleared up, and very often it is me not getting them and their meaning, huh?
Yep, I speak English, but do I really?
My brain is too confused to make anything simple these days, and I even have proof that I do have a brain; aha I saw the pictures of my MRI!

What I would like to know is could all the medication that I need to live, but no pain medication what-so-ever, could blood pressure, thyroid, cholesterol, heart, MS injections, and anti-spasmodic, GERD, and ant-acid medications, oops forgot those pesky vitamins, multiple senior and calcium with D! OY VEY! I am such an addict!
Some days I would love to chuck them all… but I digress…
So in conclusion that can’t be it, could it?
These are habit forming, with the consideration if I don’t take them I could die, and that is why I will keep taking them!

Moving on…With two important updates!
More great news; early this morning I heard from my friend’s brother via email, the friend living near Nashville, she and her family survived a very close call and hunkered down in their closet with pillows, her, her twin daughters two puppies and her husband!
And later on this afternoon my cousin in the Kentucky/Ohio area called me to let me know she too was okay! Truly, TA DA worthy!
See, now that was plain English and I bet you all understood that I can only hope…? Sadly, the count of dead continues to go up…in this our heartland…

Hubby and I went out again today for a mini food run for this and that’s, and it was wonderful again to escape our lovely abode, that I have to admit even as cheerful as it is, can close in on you at times…ya know?

On that last note of my confused reasoning, allow me to wish all of you a very happy good night and to ask you all to count your blessings and to kindly share your overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?

PS Happy 100th Birthday OREO, how we all love them!
