Well I'd tell you if I'd had a plan, only you're one of those with your head in the sand.?

Question

Should I tell you why I feel so down, when all I've carried for days is the same old doubts?
Well I'd tell you if I'd had a plan, only you're one of those with your head in the sand.

In these sentence,

what does "one of those with your head in the sand" mean?

I'm a foreigner.

Literal(English to English ) translation please.

Answer 1

I'm actually answering your question about genitourinary anomalies being associated with what condition because you don't allow e-mail. The only response you received was terribly incorrect.

Genitourinary abnormalities are associated with Wilms tumor and the deletion of the WT1 gene located at 11p13 (short arm of chromosome 11) In boys, this often results in cryptorchidism or hypospadias or even ambigous genitalia. In girls it may mean streak ovaries or bicornuate uterus. There may also be abnormalities of the urinary tract (like two collecting systems or other bladder anomalies.)

There is another WT gene at 11p15.5. Either can cause Wilms tumor and/or the associated abnormalities. Larger deletions can cause other clinical features that would indicate that a child has a genetic syndrome (WAGR or Beckwith-Wiedemann depending on the location of the deleted area.)

Wilms tumor is NOT, as the answerer stated, an adrenal tumor... but a RENAL tumor... it's a malignant tumor of the kidney and the cancer generally occurs in early childhood (prior to age 5) although there have been cases of Wilms even into the 20's.

As for your current question about head in the sand, you've received good response to this... it is hiding from your problems just as an ostrich does :)

Best to you!

Answer 2

Ostriches put their head in the sand to try to hide from danger, at least that is what is commonly believed. So if a person "puts their head in the sand" they are trying to hide from their problems, and not hiding very well either.

Answer 3

Someone with his/her "head in the sand" is a clueless person, a person that doesn't know/understand what's going on. Such people are ignorant and oblivious.
