Ah, with you. Yeah, I'm not really into it. Also, I'm so fussy that I often don't want their version of a sauce, for example, or whatever.

Actually - you've pretty nailed it there Av. I was in a restaurant in Brugge [Zeno, in case you ever find yourself there - and worth the trip all on it's own I guarentee] and was served dish after dish, all raised to the level of art at it's best by the most beautiful of sauces. In an epiphany I realised that I had not even scratched the surface of being able to prepare a good dish and resolved on the spot to re-apply myself to the task with renewed vigour. It's no wonder the very first subject taught at Le Cordon Bleu to new entrants concerns the preparation of the five 'mother sauces' which form the base for so many of the sauces used in french cookery today.

There is nothing like a good sauce. Smooth, thick, nicely glazed... I do pride myself especially on my gravy. And the GF makes the best cheese sauce in the world. (Actually cooking the roux for 10-15 mins first is part of the secret. )

well not cussing lasted to I go to work. like it always does.

Hahaha, damn, I would never even try that one.

Anyway, you call it "cussing."

How bad could it be?

I could make a sailor blush. dock workers would tell me to tone it down. it is graphic and descriptive. and when I get angry it comes in varied languages.

I do admire somebody who knows the value of good profanity.

I don't get particularly creative, but it has been pointed out to me that practically every third word I utter starts with "f."

i don't take the Lord's name in vain. so no gd or jc. and the only scat is the phrase... "shit fire and save matches"

and I have been told that when swearing the New England comes out.

My husband hates swearing so I try to avoid it...

Also, in my profession, it would be really bad if it came out at the wrong time!

Oh, I do.

Hahaha, I swear at work and in front of clients just as naturally. The only time I don't is during formal interactions, and even then only as long as they don't slip into a conversational mode, instead of a transactional one.

About the only time I don't swear is when I write. Lucky for y'all.

what is funniest is that I have picked up some Texas accent, until I get really angry. then the inmates have trouble with some of the accent. my father was in the army and a truck driver. so I come across it honestly.

I drop the R's mostly. and I get very descriptive. Julie is in awe that I have never gotten in trouble.

I did have a co-worker complain once that it was unprofessional...the boss told him not to be so sensitive.

it is a new world though. even at the prison. we have been told to tone it down, at some point dinosaurs like me will exit the prisons and the hugathug generation will take over.

Funny, seems to me to be going in the opposite direction...what was once unacceptable is now commonplace. That's not a bad thing.
