I think it's interesting what you said about the swearing. I was listening to a friend of mine talk last night and noted the swearing and the “f” word and thinking to myself (at the risk of sounding naive) that it didn't sound good and also realizing that I swear too much and use the "F" word (among others) also and thinking I should stop swearing so much or at all period. And I'm guilty of using the “F” word too.
I remember the first time I heard that word as a young man and how shocked I was at hearing it in public.
“Tuscaloosa Goldfinch”? What a great name!

The worst word I've ever heard my dad say was "damnation!" when he hit his thumb with a hammer once. I NEVER EVER heard swearing at home except for that one incident. None of our children ever heard their dad swear.
I heard him swear once, in relation to the IRS LOL.
I wholeheartedly support your inclination to lay off the swearing. I think younger people have become accustomed to this due to the flood of profanity reaching our ears via movies/television, etc. I will tell you this, if my husband heard a young man swearing before he became interested in one of our daughters, the guy had zero chance of getting past him. Zero.
Glad you like my screen name. I think there was a Goldfinch already here when I signed up during the 2000 Bush/Gore fiasco, and I had to define myself a little narrower LOL.
