Profanity use
How prominent is the use of profanity in your discussions? Do you also use profanity in much of your dialog or is it only used in punctuating messages laced with emotion such as yelling, defending yourself, etc.?
If you do use excessive profanity in your daily life, are you aware of it and are you trying to curb the behavior or are you just content the way things are?

Re: Profanity use
I use profanity a lot, especially when frustrated or agitated. Otherwise, it is almost non-existent.

Re: Profanity use
I don't get angry very often trying the positive approach, trying to think things through if it's even worth it at all to make a big deal. But, whoa, sometimes it IS a big deal, then not only does profanity occur, feathers fly, too!

Re: Profanity use
There are moments and days / people which / who gives me a good reason to use profanity otherwise it doesn't come naturally for me.
There were a couple of instances when I must have dropped something or caught by surprise that made me use a bad word in front of my daughter and she scolded me about it. So I make a conscious effort not to swear. I don't want it to become a habit because I don't want to be reprimanded by my daughter again

 As for Profanity, I don't think I've used any of those words in the chaos of the last month. That's pretty good, I think! I'm actually very surprised that I didn't!

Re: Profanity use
Have you been meditating Luba?
I am really glad to hear that you were able to handle the situation gracefully I think it takes a lot of discipline to be able to censor your words when having a bad day ( at least for me )

Re: Profanity use
I saw that item on the News, too!
---------------- It doesn't look cool coming from teens and children who happen to swear just for the sake of swearing it seems.
