    Isabella, I do agree with you. My point however is that sometimes when we reach a pivotal moment in a day, week, month or career, the ability to communicate with other's sensibilities in mind is somewhat diminished. As I stated, my empathy in this thread for Miel is tangential, not directly related to a similar situation... but similar in that we both reached a boiling point and the words flowed as they formed in our thoughts. That was the sole purpose for the defense of the language used. Sometimes dagnabbit and gosh don't cut the mustard. My request of RD was merely to step back and view it with different eyes. The interaction between us was jovial and it certainly wasn't confrontational; my original post actually stated the same thing twice... once in a rational arm's length manner, the other in the "true emotion" that I was feeling at the time. It was a request to examine the impact of language in its purest form, that emanating from the core of emotion. An apology was neither requested nor expected, and I hope you can understand the root of my empathy. Now can I go back to being off colour and goofy? ;)

    No probs RD... thanks for taking a step back and seeing it through different eyes. I just felt a kindred spirit with Miel in a rather tangential way. The situations are different but the disrespect is the same, whether it is presupposing that Miel's time and effort is open for negotiation, or that my property is someone else's for the taking. It's just wrong, and the message needs to be understood.

    There are times when the F-Bomb is the ONLY viable way of getting a message across. Given the nature of the post and the passion with which it was expressed, one can only surmise that this is not an issue that can be packaged with "wonderbread" adjectives and verbs. I will give an example. On Wednesday evening, after the CERB social, I offered one of the attendees a ride home. To my dismay, when approaching my car I found that the passenger window was hanging in shards and that my vehicle had been the subject of malicious vandalism and theft of items contained therein. My ire was tangible. I do believe I held my tongue, but internally I was seething. My wonderful evening was absolutely ruined by some miscreant with a penchant for theivery. BTW this unfortunately is absolutely true. If you read the above paragraph, you see control and very little emotion. What I could have written was: " When I came home from the CERB party, I found out that some ASSHOLE broke my car window, stole my GPS and ruined a pair of RayBans. They rifled through my stuff and then the fucker left. Nice fucking way to start my Canada Day." Which one do you think is the way I actually felt?

    WIT... I must admit that when it comes to social situations, or even in correspondence, I am a huge violator of the "hun" rule. For those who have met me, if it offends I do apologize, but it is an affinity for my friends and a genuine affection that causes me to do so. With deference to both this thread and the other, those will be my last words on the topic, "bud."

    Geeeez Meg... now I am going to have to do something with my hair just to keep up appearances. I am thinking that a modified mullet or a rat tail is bound to come back some day.....

    Scott... the legs and abs are great, but I don't trust his accounting methods. This "one for you, two for me" business is getting suspicious. That and the fact that he always wants to cuddle after a row of figures... I told him I am straight, but he keeps promising a better return on my investments and well... you know those legs of his....

    I was frightened Carrie... for a while there your boobies were forbidden!!! Just two more reasons to appreciate Canada!!!!

    Well.... he is a good dancer... but he hasn't been the same since he lost all of his hair...

    Confusion sets in.... If I take my accountant out for ice cream, do I still get to deduct it as an expense or is the accountant going to bill me for companionship plus the processing fee of calculating entertainment expenditures even if they don't dance in my living room? Does it matter if my accountant has a penis and didn't order ice cream but just loved the ambiance of Baskin Robbins?

    Well stated Mutau. I must point out that that yours is the first post to have used the word "cad" since the changing of the millennium; completely appropriate use of the word. I might have used the word "cur" or "rump fed runion", but "cad" captured the true essence of your statement. For Miel... I am so glad that you recognize that these (damn now I need a word to top "cad").... SCOUNDRELS (I was going to go with blackguards or scalawags, but that would have been overkill)... these scoundrels are the exception rather than the rule; they seem to sully the reputation of the legion of people who respect and love what we do. In this we must be thankful that we do have a forum like CERB where we can besmirch these rascals and feel better knowing that we are not alone!

    It is nice to put a friendly face to a name... the evening was short, but the company was great!!

    Couldn't have put it better myself. It always helps when you know that your fave likes to work duos with someone in particular!

    Ohhhhh here's an idea.... glasses that already come pre-accessorized! or maybe just these...

    ...or it could mean that the pitcher has delivered a bases loaded walk... but that is rather unlikely in this context.
