ROTFLM...asp...O ~ LOL, really now, you never cease to amaze me...I just know we're kin...ah yes, I've tasted LAVA soap --- and pepper...for saying "dangit and FooL" (one of my mother's all time worst to hear) but, when I lived to be 15 and I said, the b word instead of 'witch' --- my mother left it to my father ---- that dance and twirl while a belt chased me, kept me a bit more silent...ah yes. Christmas Story memories. I just LOVE your writings ~ WRITE ON ~ Elyse (chuckling and remembering a few of yours --- damaged and Teton-dam LOL)
you're a thrill ~

Oh, are you referring to the length of the posts, or the profanity? Or both? Ha ha ha! I should probably practice a bit more brevity...so is it the ginormousosity of the posts that make you want to run screaming? I must know! Love ya, Taps!

Re: Taps
Hey! You've got readers galore. LOL
They just kind of frighten me when I first look at them, but they are always a fun read. That's all that matters. If nobody reads that's when you worry about making a change.

I love swearing too. When I get riled, it's: 'That's just so bleep! bleep! bleep! and so bleeping bleep!' Swearing is fun.

He sounds like a very entertaining person to live with! My friend Susan has a Downs son, and he is the sweetest kid, ever. I don't know what it is about those kids; they don't have a mean bone in their body. So to hear your son practicing swear words so that he can be like Frank, is actually sort of endearing, how he wants to please and impress him. This comment made me want to give him a hug. And if he calls me 'Bossy'?....he'll be exactly right!...I am actually pretty darn bossy! Thanks for reading, MLOP.

Ha ha...nope, that was my lack of spelling prowess, to be honest....I, of all people should know that it is ballistic, NOT bullistic...but that's actually a great word! VERY descriptive of the way my Mother actually went! Ha ha ha ha! Good one! Accidental creative wording....love it! I'm glad we can have a laugh together; that's the best! Thanks so much for reading and for your comments, benzinha!

I realized I'm addicted to swearing the other night when I dropped a spoonful of casserole into my drinking glass accidentally. The first time I laughed, but in an attempt to put food on my plate, I did it again! And
'@#$%' it!' came right out of my mouth, like it was flowing water or something....So I'm going to have to go through a program for addicts, or something....darn it all! To tell you the truth, Samantha, 'shut up' still upsets me when people say it, because it was such tabu in my home. Even when said in fun, I sorta cringe. Thanks so much for reading and I love that we can laugh together about stuff. The shortest distance between to people is a laugh!

I'm glad that for you, it never took. A nasty habit, that! We had to say, 'be quiet', too...and said in anger, it still didn't pack much of a punch....'rats' is a good one, I use that one a lot when it's only a 'medium' frustration...a useful phrase, to be sure! Thank you, Mariposa!

I was just joking; implying that I was going to look your family's name up in the phone book and 'tell' on you...but perhaps when we're older the threat of that isn't quite so scary. Incidentally, is Furbisch and Forbush related? We have some friends that are Forbush's...seems like it might come from the same tree...And is Furbisch German?

down Syndrome cool cus words
Most people can not understand my son, he has Downs. however, after all the hours of speech he finally learned to speak a few words clearly. My man is only here on weekends, and usually I put him to work. He is one of those men that , if you were not in the same room with him, you would think he is into it bad with someone. I hate it. But Harley likes it. It has mastered a few choice words, we don't get much company so he gets happy when someone comes to visit, He greets them by saying, Son- of- a - butch , Bossee man here, He calls me bossy. One day I was looking at him doing something with his mouth, He was practicing his SHee sounds. So he could say F__. Shit, over and over ,and over. He said 'my new word man'. Frank did it. I do to. I'm a man now mom. I said thats great, Now does that mean you are going to wipe you own butt now. He said. Nice Try! I took him to the Dr. and she ask him if anyone had ever touched his butt, He said you mean "my Ass." Than he laid on the table and she raised up his shirt up. He patted his belly and said There is beer in there. She looked at me and ask him if he drinks beer. He said "Hell yes ! Me, Frank, and mom. I'm a drunk, man , like frank. I didn't know what to say. She was a new Dr. and , I just said, test him. He is lying. It took a long time to get him to stop. he still sneaks and works on his "S" sounds. and he still yells bossey, Whip my ass!

now, did you write "bullistic" on purpose or mean ballistic? Cuz I am in
love with your 'bullistic' and shall now steal it and use it in conversation.
What fun. Love to read you. You start, pull us merrily along and then drop us, laughing at the end. A fun ride. Thanks.

so much of this hit home with me, I remember getting
spanked for swearing on accident and begging my dad
not to spank me, it was something I just didn't do. He
spanked me anyway. My husband swears a lot and I
swear on occasion now, and when my daughter was
young, I couldn't even stand to hear shut up, boy how
things change and the misunderstanding of the swear
words was hilarious!!! I LOVE YOUR STORIES!!!

I grew up in a house that did not swear. My dad did - but never at home. My brother did when working on cars. When I got older my friends used all the 4 letter words. I was 15 and didn't even know what they meant! I did try swearing a few times, but never liked it. My worst swear word is rats! Oh yeah, and my mom said "shut up" was a swear word. we had to say "be quiet". Now I understand better what is so appealing about swearing.

Darson,
I'm not married, Honey. My surname is Furbish, which is the English translation of the name Furbisch.

You're a sweetie for reading all of my long-winded posts!!! I'm glad I can hold SOMEONE'S attention...I seemed to have lost that allure with my children. They tell me I sound like the adults on the Peanuts cartoons...'blah, blah, blah...'! Yes, I did get that picture, and I replied on that same comment section but I should have just emailed you. Those pieces were so unique, I would've stopped to take it in, too. Don't blame you, there. I loved the picture, thank you!

But THANK YOU for sticking it out...I hope you don't have eye-strain or something. When my daughter and I email each other, we call it 'GWTW II'...aka 'Gone With The Wind:Part II'!

You potty mouth, you! I, quite frankly, am very shocked! (Yeah, right!) So I guess you're going to have to 'bite the bar' in your son's presence? It's only fair....! Just a tip; Ivory soap is the mildest and won't give you gastrointestinal distress, like those other brands.
Oh, and you guys make ME laugh; I can just picture you in your adjoining chairs, reading and writing away. What fun! You must have some lovely days together.

You are a hilarious read. I washed my eldest son's mouth with soap
for using that word, then used it in front of him some years later myself. I still have to get up the courage to say sorry for that one. He's 41.......guess he's old enough to accept my humble apology by now. You do make us laugh. You are a brilliant read.

I'm in my green leather chair across from Kabu on her geen leather couch, I read you and get laughing so hard I can't hit the cat with the squirt bottle.
With all of that I drop my drinking water bottle, soak my trousers like I'd just done a wee. Kabu gets upset with all that hullaballoo, but now she's reading you and I think she's gonna drop her computer offa her lap onto the floor with her out of her mind laughter.
And you must be our daughter shnookie, because you are responsible for all of this insanity here. Holy &*^%$#* crap. We just love ya
