I don't even know if any of that makes sense, but just please leave off the hard cuss words And don't sweat the other BS.

I have to restrain myself, failing many times, when the trolls start their ridiculous nonesense.

“ We’re swamping our abuse reporting system”

Lol. Yet somehow I’ve survived for years and years without ever reporting anything or anybody

[McGruff]

I seldom use the report Abuse button. When I do it’s for a good reason.

Thanks; Jim.

Great post! Hope you feel better than you did the other day!

Our accomplishments on earth will not be needed nor heeded when we go to be with Christ. He awaits us and we can be glad!

But your accomplishment with FR is epic. THANK YOU.

“don’t sweat the small stuff” originated with sailors and referred to sweating lines (ex: halyard) on a sailing ship using a belaying hook mounted on deck.

Don’t sweat the small stuff refered to avoid sweating smaller lines as the technique can/will break them.

[Pox]

I’ll try to do better.

ROTFLOL!

I love it Mr. Robinson. And I thank you for keeping things down to earth and relatable.

Wait ... people are hitting abuse over abbreviations now? Not the actual curse words, but LETTERS?

"I don't even know if any of that makes sense...

It makes damn good sense :)

I was always taught that, "salty language," was the appropriate term. A good cook knows just the right amount of salt to enhance the flavors of their food. Likewise, a good communicator knows when to sprinkle in a few off color terms for emphasis, humor, provocation or passion. Just as too much salt can render a feast inedible, too much foul language can drown out what may be otherwise valid communications.

Jim, our kids (well my grandkids) are exposed to the entire litany of the seven deadly words on TikTok every day, according to their mother. What happens here is Casper Milquetoast by comparison. Not suggesting that the rules be changed, but also not getting wound up over mild euphemisms. Now, a certain regular poster named after a Russian city recently expressed a desire to do violence to my, aah, (hinder) with a set of golf clubs. Maybe I should have reported that. It wasn't the first time, either.

Years ago my wife told one of our kids not to use a swear word that she heard. The child said “Well dad swears!” (I’m thinking - hmm, maybe under my breath and she heard me.”

“Well, I don’t think so honey - what word was it?”

“It was the “s” word.”

(Not my go-to cuss word, but maybe???)

“Hmm - maybe, but I don’t think so? When did you hear me say it?”

“When you were talking about the dog!”

Now I’m really puzzled “What is the “s” word - it’s okay, you can say it.”

“You called him a stupid dog.”

“Oh that’s right. I forgot. That was mean of me. I won’t do it again.”
