I had a cardiologist tell me once he wanted to hook me up to an EKG to see what the heck my heart was doing. I have taken my pulse ox and my heart rate gets up to the 120s/130s with an O2 sat in the low 90s at rest. With exertion I bet it drops in the 80s. I hate the feeling. So I avoid getting drunk. Beer does it to me the worst.

That was just a pickup line. I'm sure he was willing to stick the electrode sticky pads on your chest, himself.

OK, this happened while reading nighttime books to the kids tonight. I was reading Calvin & Hobbes to my son, who's roughly Calvin's cartoon age. The strip was about Calvin receiving an "F" in school. So wanting to see if he understood the strip I asked:

Me: So, do know about grades? [My son's school doesn't use the traditional ABCDF yet, just some no-stigma-attached list of descriptors.]
Him: Uh, yeah.
Me: So what's the best grade you can get?
Him: A.
Me: OK, what's the worst grade you can get?
Him: F.
Me: Do you know what F means?
Him: Yeah, Fuk.

Me: [Palm to forehead.]

I think the days of trying to keep kids ears virgin, is becoming a thing of the past. I remember it was pretty taboo to swear growing up. Even when I was out of eyesight from my parents, I never really heard them swear. These days, all three of swear openly. There just words now. I do try and mindful around younger children, but I have been known to let the odd word slip. But I swear! Noah didn't learn that from me! It's probably you!

Replied All to an email sent to local PCA board by the newsletter editor. I have been managing the printing of the newsletter for 10 years. Many of those years I got it printed for free. The email was announcing he had taken the newsletter to local printer instead of bringing it to me. He did so without even the courtesy of letting me know, let alone discussing it with me. Yet he was somehow able to discuss it with the Club President and the Sales guy at the print shop. The email in question was him announcing he had discussed it with the President and printing was in progress at the other printer.

My reply was just two letters... F U

Seems to have surprised, offended, and pissed them off as much as they surprised, offended, and pissed me off. So, i would say swear words have their uses.
