Well put Steve D Re: use of strong language

[Guest guest]

Very well put. It¹s similar to what I was trying to say, but you said it

much more eloquently....

Chantelle

Ps-and I hope nothing in my posts came across wrong. I¹m just as human as

the rest of us. I¹ve been around foul language and have it start to form in

my mind before. But at this current point in my life, it doesn¹t ever factor

in. We all have choices. I really really like your last line Steve D. I have

plenty of friends that can testify to the fact that I¹m one of the least

judgmental people they know! (and have put up with plenty of stuff out of

them as they matured, and some people are still maturing in their 50¹s)
