Spinning wheels and not getting anywhere...

Spinning wheels is of course a figurative explanation on how I feel my day has been going. Earlier today I tried to get in place an all else fails back up plan, and I won’t say yet if it will work or not. I am unfortunately, of the few, who at times, can be superstitious.
You know that the best laid plans of mice and men and all?
Or do you?
Or do I, for that matter?
My interpretation would be that things happen and if I was at a different mindset I would say the colloquial expression that most of you all use, but it still causes me to cringe…Although, by what I just intimated I am more than sure that you all know what it was anyway that I was avoiding to say, hmm, smarty-pants you all?
I do suppose there is an entire generation of young adults out there in that outer world who have no qualms with whatever they say.
It is a little bit difficult for our older generation people to curse without thought due to being brainwashed by most of our parents who had said that vulgar language is not an appropriate way to speak and were told to never ever use it more so when we were coming up into this world.
I don’t really know if it is a good thing that most thought that use of those four-letter words was more how drunken sailors were accused of communicating, since that is where that expression originated. And sure it was an insult to all of the sailors on leave who may or may have not gotten slightly inebriated while on a break from war, that I do believe was officially called R&R, or rest and relaxation. In those days drinking to forget things was a bit more acceptable.
Like smoking, way back when I can even recall a time in the 1960’s when a co-worker of mine was told by her, ‘doctor’, to start to smoke to calm her nerves, would you believe?
And this after the surgeon general’s announcement on how bad it was for us way back in 1964 or there about, hmm, CRAZY!
Even yesterday, our neighbor from across the canal stopped by after my neuro doctor’s appointment and while talking about other things mentioned how her hubby was asked if he smoked since his doctor said that it would help with his stomach pain from his colitis!
I do not recommend anyone doing that, he had to be kidding! This neighbor’s husband also has emphysema and actually that is a very sick joke!
But you get what I am saying there are enough obscene things going on in this world without colorful repulsive language being necessary to communicate on a daily basis.
Just my personal opinion and this is not to say that when I have lost my temper that I have never ever used those four-letter much more colorful and expressive words of descriptive use on target most always… Ah! Damn! You do whatever you have to do and I will probably continue to cringe on here, but here only, thankfully… In the real world I am not as big a prude, I think, oh sh-t! No, I am not! Ha!

On that bit of light-hearted weirdness allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you to count all those blessings and to share all those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
