How funny! and a really good idea for the next time I'm there.  But, just because Judy's favorite new word is sh-- is no reason to identify her with this story.

LOL!!!

right Larry. And that is NOT my favorite word...................

Right now I am thinking that my favorite word has to be "COOLER!"
It changes with the times.

My dad always says, "son of a buck!" and that is more polite.
Ah shucks who am I kidding..................Even a nice word like, N I C E can sound like a curse
word if you say it with the right tone.
Shall I just say
BYE!

Judy, "THAT WORD" had nothing to do with my comment. My comment was made about you because you have a great sense of humor and it is even more evident when I met you in person , you were smiling and had a "I love life attitude". I could see you telling someone exactly what that joke said, if someone told you "the Doctors won't tell me nothing in here in the Hospital, I could see you saying, call the Nurse on your cell phone and and inquire how you are doing.
I read your posts everyday and I sure would not associate you with that word. Your daily jokes and humor are a great way to start the day.
I apologize if I offended you.

I have not had the pleasure of meeting Judy.  But, I know from her posts that she is an outstanding person and loves life to its maximum.  I was only kidding around in my reference to her favorite word.

That said, now that "cooler" is your favorite word, Judy, are you saying that because of the heat wave you have been having, or, that you are really using the beer cooler.  Wait----that's an oxymoron.  Duh, if it is that hot, of course, you would using the beer cooler!  What a dummy I am.  You probably meant the heat.  I well remember the Kansas heat and skinny dipping in the creek to get the hay and dirt off before going home to granny's shower.  She insisted that I try to get some of it off before I walked in her door.

You guys are a "HOOT" and thank you for letting me rant and rave, my way.

I do like a cold beer. I do love life. Figure as long as I can get up and move, it will be a good day.

Frank, it takes a lot more than that to get my dander up.

I have had to train myself not to use those words. And, yes, I can let er rip, but do try to keep it down to a
"shoot" when I mean something much worse.(By the way, I do wear my foot in my mouth a lot. you never know what is coming out of my mouth

If we can't laugh at ourselves and the world that would be awful!

Hugs to you, too.
