imes I am so goo...You know, you're so right! Somet<br />imes I am so good at creative discriptions rather than course words and other times, I seem to fall into a rut. (usually if I'm too fogged out or tired to let the creative side in and my brain takes a short cut to the small minded words)<br /><br />Sometimes I have to pull a few words out of my mouth to *shock* my clients so they *listen*. Sort of getting on their level. At work everyone is surprised if I come out with a colorful expletive. I'm certainly not perfect, but I try and be careful. I think in my blogging, sometimes I can get lazy or immune from hanging around other blogs.. lol *rolls eyes at self*<br /><br />Good reminders and good rules to live by.Spritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685905900997610808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21999647.post-52298942377443596582007-01-13T19:57:00.000-05:002007-01-13T19:57:00.000-05:00Nertz! is a another good one from the "olden" days...Nertz! is a another good one from the "olden" days.

(that one is a personal favorite).<br /><br />I've also adopted, from the Coneheads, "Mips! Mips! Mips!" I've used that one many times when I'm in traffic and someone does something boneheaded. Another good thing about it is that it usually makes me laugh, which defuses the anger I feel towards the turtle-herder who ticked me off in the first place.<br /><br />I do try to use "creative" rather than "common" language but do not always succeed.fillyjonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016436113169230368noreply@blogger.com
