The new husband of my daughter is getting better at not slipping. However, I like the idea of praying for people when I do hear it. I believe I shall begin this practice.<br />In the meantime, how are you doing? I keep you in my prayers. Please keep us informed of your RECOVERY.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07189649149646273686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226066128974181132.post-36064230308020133162017-04-11T06:14:25.311-07:002017-04-11T06:14:25.311-07:00When I was a high school teacher I did not tolerat...When I was a high school teacher I did not tolerate the F word being used in my classroom. I told them only unintelligent people use the word, because they have a limited vocabulary. Unfortunately, The F word is used in all of the media which seems to indicate it is acceptable. Don't see that changing.

Knowing how fond you are of your yankee friends, you have obviously used it humorously.Thomas E.

But I complained to a friend who has moved to LA about how common the F word is in movies, saying I didn't know anyone who talked like that—and he said that, sadly, people in LA really do talk like that. Maybe the red state/blue state divide corresponds to a linguistic divide as well.Dan Bonevachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09591259743326904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226066128974181132.post-34990622983580024702017-04-09T21:27:28.481-07:002017-04-09T21:27:28.481-07:00I sort of took Mom's advice for the past 50 ye...I sort of took Mom's advice for the past 50 years ...
