I know I'm guilty as charged when it comes to swearing in posts that I make (I'm almost 30, and cuss like a sailor ). Often times, it's not meant to offend, just venting frustrations. I do, however, try to remember to 'censor' myself...but, to err is human. I can't say that the younger members offend me when they let some 4-letters fly. Sadly, it's part of society, as I hear my teenage cousin and his football buddies use the "F" word as part of normal vocabulary, the HS kids in the neighborhood when they get off the bus after school. I think F***er is a term of endearment to some of the younger people in my area. It's kind of sad really, when you stop to think about it. I remember having my mouth washed out with Ivory soap for swearing when I was younger.

Thank you for the eye-opening perspective, Pat. I think we all need it once in a while.

Hugz and Much Love,
Jenn
