@hazeldublin I was going to mention your first post in this thread and how much it added to the sentiment of excitement. That was an A+ in swear word placement!
Many many months ago, there was a conversation in either a UO or FFFC thread about whether people would let their kids swear. There was some debate back-and-forth on both sides, and several people mentioned how they felt uncomfortable with swear words, or didn't like reading them, or something like that. I don't remember who, and I wouldn't even know how to go about finding the thread, but that just stuck in my brain. I obviously still swear, as evidenced in my post in the Random thread today, but I swear a lot less on here than I do in real life.
DS1 is allowed to swear at home if 1. It's in proper context, and 2. It's not directed at some one. He's nine and knows I'll hurt him if he does it around other people or at us. I swear like a sailor so don't fucking give a shit, bitches.
I really can't remember who said they had an issue with it, but I feel like asking a public internet forum to not swear is a little special snowflaky...
I'm really not a big swearer, but it doesn't bother me. I don't remember the conversation that someone doesn't like it though? (I'm not questioning that it happened, I just want to know who it was now lol)
Re: the American electoral system, I was legit excited last year when our election ended and thought that yours was ending the next month, and then I found out there was a whole other year left
I will confess but I don't think this is flameful, that I currently have two unread messages in my FB PMs that I just don't want to open so it says 'read' because I'm 99% sure they are both people trying to sell me something or get me to sell something and I'm so tired of saying fuck no! (See what I did there?)
H and I tell each other "I'm a grown ass man/woman."
I actually swear less on TCF than I do in real life. I feel like it makes me seem less intelligent or something. Although I don't think about any of you in that way. I guess I've never really thought about it before.

FFFC: When I was bored in highshool I used to zone out what the teacher was saying and pretend that everything was actually about sex, as though entire lectures were massive euphemism. I don't know how to explain exactly what I was doing inside my brain at the time.. making sex jokes out of geometry lessons? It wasn't just one class or one teacher though, I just did this when I was bored and distracted.

So I am conducting a training at work, and we only have a few people actually participating, and people are also dropping out. Someone came up here to just shoot the shit with the people in training, and one of the people was like "you should join, you would be great at this." But the woman is sooo awkward, I really hope she doesn't join in, because I don't want to be around her. I also don't know if the woman that was trying to get her to join was actually serious, or just joking around.
TL;DR- I don't want an awkward woman to join my training.
This pregnancy falls during a wedding I don't really want to attend but feel obliged to go. All going well I'll be 30ish weeks pregnant at the time. The wedding is a 1.5 hour car journey away. If everything goes well I'll be using it as an excuse to get out of going to the wedding.
WHA??? I'm so out of the loop. Congrats on your pregnancy!! I'm assuming it's a November baby?

I'm fairly certain that my child's first word will be fuck. DH and I are constantly saying we need to curb the swearing... Just haven't gotten around to t yet. I'm hoping that as long as we don't make a huge deal out of these words though, ds will just be less inclined to yell "shit" and "fuck" at the top of his lungs in inappropriate places. Hopefully.
Also, my go to response to DH is to turn around and leave the room when he pisses me off. If it's a more minor offense I use "shut your pie hole." Yet again, I'm clearly the most mature person ever.

2x+3y = ? periwinkledaydreams - "oh yeah, 2 you take that x and make it your bitch! Make it a 3-some with y, oh yeah."
I remember the swearing conversation happening, but not a lot of details. I remember it more being about if people will let their kids curse.
Either way...there really should be no expectation from a public forum for it to be G rated. lolno To be fair, it doesn't sound like the person asked us not to curse. I believe we all would have remembered that.
I mean, some of y'all are better people than I am, not swearing because you remember that someone might not be ok with it. It's not that I am an insensitive bitch (well, that's debatable), it's just that I am a grown ass woman and I will speak how I want.
I think it's also helpful to add that often, when DW will ask/tell me to do something, my response is "You can't tell me what to do". It's probably the #1 thing we say to each other.
Lol my DH and I constantly say "I'll be the boss of me!" to each other if the other one asks us to do something
It's so fun & it's the only fitness regime I ever stuck to. When I was full time into it I had the most amazing arms & back. The only problem was the bruising. I swear my dad (who still doesn't know I did this) must have thought that DH (who was my bf at the time) was beating me, but on my legs and arms.
Eta: I'm not trying to make light of domestic abuse in anyway, it's just how I interpreted my dad's looks when he saw my black & blues.
So wait, you let your dad think your bf might be beating you instead of telling him you were taking pole dancing classes?
No, whenever he asked about the bruises I told him it was from the gym. He never outright said that he thought that my bf did it.
Btw sorry for delay in response I didn't get online during lunch.
@jimbobcooter poodle mixes are great. My H is allergic to cats and dogs and we have a cockapoo that can sit on his face and it doesn't even phase him.
I guess thats another FFFC: I'm an advocate of adopt don't shop, but I bought my pup.
We have a cockapoo too. We adopted her. Her online photo from the pound made her look like choobaca but once she was groomed and all clean she looks adorable
I don't remember who mentioned something about their pump talking to them, but I'm sitting in my classroom pumping, and it's super awkward now because my pump seems to be making sex sounds at me. So thanks for that.

I'm fine with other people using curse words. I remember calling my stepdad an asshole at about 5 and getting in SO MUCH trouble for it. That, combined with having much younger siblings has resulted in me rarely cursing. I feel so awkward and out of place when I do, yet have no problem hearing or reading it from others. I'll stub my toe or something and WANT to swear but... I just can't. I don't know why. Haha.

On the subject of swearing, this is totally me in everyday life. But I feel like I edit myself here because I proofread most things before I post and decide it's unnecessary.
I've cut L's fingernails once. I have started to entertain her whilst H cuts them, though. Gets the job done sooner.
I don't swear much in RL and I hope L doesn't hear much swearing for a few years. However, I couldn't care less whether other people swear or not. It's entirely up to you. If it serves as an outlet, please find more ways to swear! I'm a great believer in outlets.
If we can't remember who said they were sensitive to swears, why bother censoring yourself? I mean...we have a ton of people who no longer post here. It could be one of them, right?

Me too. My last thee dogs were rescues and DH's lab is too. This will be the first time since 1997 that we bought a dog as a puppy directly from the breeder. We have looked at rescue groups but aren't finding what we want so...
