Indeed, swearing always provides necessary relief for all parties involved. And it's not just the swearing: It's the appropriately placed F-bomb that let's people know you're serious and makes everything better.

oh my gosh; I know its not funny but to read it back, it comes back really funny; I echo what Living Day to Day with Multiple Sclerosis said in their comment.

I remember years ago when I worked in a doctor's office, one of the patients had been hospitalized with a stroke. When he came in for a visit, this previously soft-spoken man used a lot of expletives. I remember the physician saying usually after a stroke the first language that comes back (if it is going to come back) is cuss words, even if the patient wouldn't have normally cussed. Interesting.......

knowing you, though, Patrick; you'll be out again doing something fun with Patti like another movie of some other event; you certainly don't give up as you attempt to keep Patti involved with what goes on in your community

All I can say is that on the radio yesterday morning they had a whole discussion about the fact that for some odd reason swearing when hurt of angry does make you feel better.

I can just imagine how you must have felt but thinking back.... It is kind of funny.

You are a very good man and I know this has to be hard but you handle things so well.

Years ago, when my grandfather was alive, he had a lot of physical problems and we noticed the worse he got, the more he used foul language.

Have a good week!
