In the News: Do I swear too much?

UPDATED: Should make more sense now.

This post has nothing to do with fertility. Or infertility.

A friend of mine sent me a link earlier today to a story involving someone with my surname. She was asking if I was related to the person.

I responded truthfully that I was related to the person. And then jokingly asked whether she had been googling my name again.

She responded by saying no and that if she had been googling me, this link would have been more appropriate.

Should I take offense?

And more importantly, dear readers, have I caused offense? should I cut down on the swearing?

Perhaps it's time that I do at least IRL if not here too. I love a good swear word in the precise right circumstances. But they're a total turn-off to me in all other situations. It's like being a good comic. You have it or you don't. And if you don't, you're better off not even trying. Maybe I don't have the gift of artfully placed f-bombs. But how does one know?

The article is interesting in any case. Anything that can improve my health, right? Especially if its something so fun!

I never noticed you cursed! In any case I've got a potty mouth myself. I don't curse much in real life, but I dont think there is anything wrong with it ncessarily. I read an article about that recently about how they are just words and if they're not being used to insult a person or demean but used to e4xpress what's the harm? AT least that's just me!

Funny article, especially the future study idea of comparing prisoners to nuns. And I wouldn't take offense to the link forward.
