Haha, You are correct. That would be a better term, but I am a simple man, and most of these pri People relate more to language that they are familar with. But there are SOME words I will not use. I WILL NOT use any of the "four letter" words or their very close cousins, because I don't use those words.

It sounds like he may have needed your hands-on guidance to straighten him out.

You don't use those words?

I'm kind of a potty-mouth.

Mike, I am afraid If I told them that they were ethically challanged they would say like "huh".

Don't get me wrong, I spent 20 years in the military. As the old saying goes, I used to cuss so bad I would make a Sailor blush!

But when Patty and I started going to church I try VERY hard to not do many of the things I used to do.

When I said "hands-on guidance", I didn't mean telling him he's ethically challenged.

Uh Yeah, I got that. Now THAT's different! Sometimes the rod of justice must be judiciously applied in an appropriate manner.

I didn't realize cussing is considered sinful.

SOMETIMES is it called a PR-24, mace, taser, night stick or just plain old fisticuffs! Something I have had to use more than once when I was actually a police officer (cept for the taser, our 4 man dept couldn't afford them then).

How is Patty feeling?

There is a lot of talk on that. Many of the words "We" consider cuss words are not specifically talked against in the bible. Actully some words "We" consider bad are in the bible. Pissith and shitith for two Patty says, and she would know! Her memory is fantastic. But most of the "cuss words" are words that over time mankind has deemed inappropriate and are not truly sinful, unless I have seriously misread the bible. Hope this does not confuse you.

Actually Patty had a really good day today. She was up and puttering around the house cleaning the rugs, floors, moving a bookshelf for her Christmas tree and only layed back down after about 4 hours. PLUS she didn't get the runs OR dry heaves.
