I'm fine. We should get together sometime and have coffee and talk and all that. Umm... is your work/school/whatever schedule coherent?
You don't need to unlock the post; Metaquotes' rules just say that (1) all quotes must be linked, and (2) locked posts must have permission to quote. (How they check this, I have no idea. I imagine that, for the most part, they don't--but MQ is a *big* comm, and often, someone's able to check.)
It's frightening, sometimes, how fast metaquotes works. (Refresh periodically during the day for new comments. More, if someone decides to play grammarian and insist that some of the comments aren't using the word as a comma, but as some other form of punctuation.)
Wandered over here from ursulav and just had to add to this thread.
I work in an IT company, and one of our techs uses the F-word as a general purpose punctuation mark as well as an adjective. He called one of our customer's tech "Touch and F***" because any thing he touched was F***ed.
And my eldest daughter is also potty mouthed, even after 6 kids of her own...
sorry about the euphemisms, I'm at work, and the outbound net filters get stroppy about profanities.
Anyone from UrsulaV is an interesting person! I tell people that I swear like a sailor, but really it's the same few words over and over again. I'd like to broaden my Swearing skill; I like "fuck you with the goat you road in on".
Really, though, I'd like to get better at Cursing. "May your mouth and feet always smell the same." is good, but hard to remember to say when supremely irritated.

Yeah, isn't it? Merrie and I started laughing and wrote it down, to save for posterity.

'Cos I think more people need to be informed of this important grammatical note.
