naughty words

I came across an article today that made me stop and ponder….

Personally, I think swearing is sometimes necessary. There are certain events, circumstances, or moments in which the only way to adequately convey the full intensity of said event, circumstance or moment is with the use of a “naughty” word. These words are not a common part of accepted vocabulary thereby delivering much more of a whollup.

Bam, oof, pop, pow!

Some think that using naughty words somehow is a degradation of the language or evidence of a limited vocabulary/education — I have never considered that a fair assessment of swearing, mostly because of my previously mentioned opinions ha! AND, most definitely, there are some folks that have made an art out of swearing… that string of perfectly mixed expletives used in just the right combination… I have been known to have very strong feelings of envy. I’ve even tried to emulate a few folks who have this artistic ability but have never quite measured up. (I do much better with run-on sentences however)

After thinking about all of this, I must admit, I swear too much. I know I do. But sometimes I really think that things are somehow funnier or more sarcastic with a little %$*# thrown in. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times in my adult life that I’ve vowed to not swear. Worthless effort. I try to substitute different words for swear words – or even alter the swear word so that everyone knows what it was meant to be….

My point is that sometimes DANG just doesn’t do the job that DAMN does…. oh well

it’s been a busy, busy few days… but what else is new? i don’t remember what i wrote last so i’m just gonna ramble and if i repeat myself, well, you’ll have to get over it ha! (just kidding… just nod, smile, and humor me)

so, we are moving… i know i’ve mentioned that… and we thought what better time to look at some new tin cans… heck, all they can say is no, right? so last weekend we carried our butts down the highway to crestview rv… not much hope in our hearts, but figured it’s fun to window shop and daydream… we pretty much know what we want in a new tin can…

no leaks, hot water, more cabinets, slides in the living area that face each other so you get that extra 6 feet in width… a bigger fridge… you know, the basics….and we found just exactly what we want….

pretty, eh? stone faced wall with a “fireplace” in it… it’s just a fancy electric heater… big living area… queen bed, shower with hot water… oh my!

the sales guy, levi, he is so nice… and i kept telling him i didn’t want him wasting his time on us because i really had no hope of being financed on one of these…we filled out the application and gave our earnest money with the guarantee that it would be returned to us when the bank said NO….

i had a pregnancy scare this month… man… i’m too old and too sick for a baby… besides, i have grand babies. how would it look for this chubby ol granny to be toting around a baby on the hip while playing with the 7 and 3 year old grand girls? just slap some white rubber boots on me and pass the salem lights! lol

ok, so not really a pregnancy scare… more like a menopausal sort of thing might be starting and i’m really dreading it… hot flashes? holy shit… i can only imagine what hot flashes and hormone imbalances are going to do to the beast living in my head… life ain’t gonna be pretty… say a prayer or 3 for coach, would ya? k, thanks.

leaving this job has turned out to be a whole lot of work. i think i’m doing more work now that i’m leaving than i was doing on a daily basis! oh my. so much to teach others about what i do… trying to write up instructions explaining the technical/mechanical side of the equipment… wow… and on top of that, i’m teaching a class monday on proper radio operations and i have to get that presentation finished up and ready to go…

time for dinner…. gotta run! smile!

p.s. oh….. we got the trailer

a new design
