crazyhorseladycx i reckon such depends'n many factors. fer myself, i aint into the curse words'f the times. they're o'erused to the point that many turn a deaf ear when they hear 'em. if such's written to excess, one's likely to jest close the book. then there's others who...

Once, the radio was a big invention. Listening to the radio was the way people had to acceed to news or to know how a football match was going on. But now, with all the technologies, do you still listen to the radio?

I have just pruned my four rose bushes. Pruning perhaps implies that I know what I'm doing whereas in actual fact I don't. The bushes were getting very unkempt and needed tidying up. This has now been done. I know the centre of...

Judy Evans I'm not keen on swearing just for the sake of swearing but if a character calls for it, then I think it is okay. That doesn't mean every second word needs to be an expletive.

DW Davis @WriterGirl44 Indeed, as we become more seasoned, we have to become more willing to change our patterns to accommodate our new ability levels. Notice how I danced around saying I'm getting old.

DW Davis I am not familiar with the Vivofit, but I have a FitBit that can be very insistent when it comes to making my daily steps. Not an easy thing now with my arthritic hip. I hope to be able to make the danged device happy again when I get the new hip next summer.
