Sure thing... maybe. I have a hard time getting out of bed some mornings, and I'm 33. I can't imagine how Lary feels...

 

Well no need to imagine I can tell you....I feel like 240 lbs of snot

What I thought was allergies has turned into a full blown Summer cold as far as all the aches and pains I have from the broken bones and bullet holes....that is just Gods way of reminding me I am STILL alive

 

I've been known to "cuss like a sailor" on occassion, and think of myself as neither uneducated, unable to speak the language or of low class....
There are times that proper verbiage and grammar just don't convey the emotional aspect of what one is attempting to communicate.
A prime example would be attempting to voice ones frustration and anger at ones self after striking your own thumb with a hammer......hard.......
Those instances almost REQUIRE the use of "blue streak " style words to actually describe how you feel!

But I try to avoid it in daily conversation

I embarrassed THE BOSS.once when, in a public place, she told me to grow up (over something I had gone or said ) and I belted out the ToysRUs
jingle......she has since given up hoping Ill "act my age"

 

As have I when the situation warranted it......I do however strive to keep from using such language in public. I have actually altered a cuss word in mid utterance so it comes out only half a cuss word mixed with nonsense

As we all know it is all about being respectful of others......use bad language next to my Wife and MIL when I take them out to dinner and you get ME in your face explaining how I do not tolerate such disrespect around the Ladies.... just the way I was raised......

 

Could not agree more and hope my partly tongue in cheek post didn't soind like I agree with profanity as a conversational tool!

 

Not at all

I try to tell some of the young guys here when I talk to them about using profanity in the threads that if we were hanging out in the shop drinking beers while wrenching, anything goes...but here on the forum we have Ladies, Children and Grand Mothers reading these threads and they need to talk just like they would if they were sitting at Grandma's table.

 

I do try and keep the launage in check but when I get totally pushed over the edge the old grumpy NCO comes out and it flows like a river.

Time to get off here and call and try to get the VA to approve more theraphy on my hand.

You all have a good one. And remember the chicken contributes to breakfast the pigs commited don't be the pig

 

Morning Stan and those too lazy to post (where is Heidi).

Summer colds are the worst. Its really hard to get the rest you need to beat it when its nice outside.

I do but its not very good. Practicing it was too painful.

There going to be a party when you are done?

I think of myself the same way and try to refrain from eating picked boogers when in public.

Scotty told me that his older brother feels lumpy and like he is in his early 60's.....

 

I hate it when I am around Scotty and he tries to feel my lumps

 

I try not to curse a whole lot, but when I get ticked I usually say, "Mother of... goodness! Last time I can remember really letting a string off was when I got in a fight with some dude... a for real fight.

Yup!

Dang cannuks!

I just dropped 1100 bucks on some new tires...

 

I think Stan was referring to swearing while having a normal conversation with someone, and I agree with him. There are people that cannot formulate a simple single sentence without interjecting the 'F' bomb into it. There is no need of it and it is one of the most ignorant things I can think of.

Oh-oh, Now you have me worried about me. Going to stop drinking the breakroom coffee and see if things get any better.

Off to make my own coffee and wash my wife's SUV. Grocery run day for her today. Every Wednesday the local chain store gives discounts on food. Here, this will give some of you an idea of what it like to live here:
