Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

After living the first half of my life alone with my logical male brain and exchanging information with mostly other logical male brains I am still adapting my female communication skills.

If the original question is improperly worded or asked without providing enough background info to answer it correctly, it usually results in another question. But, that is bad form and is usually a result of impatience or conversational laziness.

This is basically how I handle it at work:
"I can't answer that question with the info I have, if you elaborate and provide the info necessary to make a logical decision I may be able to provide an answer.

She was raised in Ashland Oregon... not sure if that makes her native or not. ;)

Kinda funny, some of you may know she was born is Seoul Korea... and was adopted by an Anglo Oregon family when she was less than a year old through a program set up by an Korean war vet. So she likes meat and potatoes, country music, even has a bit of a cute country drawl.

And spot on with a lot of stress going on, move, cohabiting, daughter off to college.

Thanks for your replies!

yes, it sounds rude without explanation, and when it's not neccessary.

when momma asks me a question I always say....huh?

Is that considered answering a question with a question?
