Since I live in the Northeast we tend to make R's and G's more silent. One day not too long ago I used the word 'fuckin' around my bf (not towards him, but used it in his presence) and he was very quick to correct me. He said that if I am going to use such a powerful word, I needed to give it justice and pronounce the 'g' in it or it loses its powerful meaning. That was so fucking true! It even feels more glorious when I make sure I give that 'g' some life to it. ~K~ p.s. Since I live in the Northeast we tend to make R’s and G’s more silent.

I just made my pot of coffee and raced to sit in front of my computer to read the beginning of your journey that you said you were going to start to diary here; only to learn that you are going to update on Sundays! Crap (the new replacement for use of the word 'fuck' in the office), I can't believe I forgot. It must be because I'm into the troughs of menopause and I've read that you start to forget things! What the hell am I going to do until tomorrow now? --Hi Jane – so nice to read your work. I haven’t been around much but I will be checking in on a regular basis to try and catch up on your site….. if I remember! But you are right about the use of the word fuck. When I was in my late teens, early 20’s, I had (still do) a cousin who misused the word fuck terribly. Every sentence had the word fuck in it about six times. I finally got tired of hearing him misuse and abuse it’s proper place in our society and wound up giving him a long lecture telling him that there were thousands of words in the English language that he could use to express himself instead of using the “F” word like he did. He never used Fuck again;) ~K~ I can’t fucking believe this!

She is in a rest home, bedridden and for the most part suffering from dementia, and still considers it hers. You might want to check with her before using it again. She's a tough old broad. http://sapphokinesis.blogspot.com/2008/03/grim-reaper-strikes-out.html Great post ...
