I affectionately call it the broiler during the summer months. And I’m a born and raised valley of the sun javelina
Hahahaha. Decades honing my craft! I’m right there with you.

Guilty of using the word. Though I’ve taken to the understanding, “Hope is for aiming the arrow. Action looses it.”

There’s profanity, and there’s obscenity. I don’t curse much, and I don’t cuss. “Hell” and damn are said by me when appropriate. I can be profane, but I avoid being obscene.

Totally what I have done in the past, I was gonna go to a swim class tonight but have decided to stay in all day (called in sick, again) to focus on day 2 rather than focus on ‘getting rid of this hangover as quick as I can so I look seemingly alright for work’), spent 2 days reading threads and read the blue book twice through… Rereading the chapters. Good thread.again sorry it was a post from Dec 18?!

My favorite episode is where the townspeople freak out over a news story on child molestation, want to build a wall around south park but don’t know how, ask the owner of the Chinese restaurant to do it, because Chinese build great walls.
Every time he tries to build it “Stupid Mongorians try tear down my shitty wall”.

Ha, one of my favorites, too. My co-supervisor and I (when I was in my old position at work) used to say “Oh, hello Mongorians” alllllllll the time

Im not proud but admittedly, I am pretty foul mouthed. I’ve always attributed it to 1) Being a chef 2) Being British and 3) Being a delinquent. And it is always in context. Im really noticing now that brits swear a lot.

As part of working my 6th and 7th step I have actually found that I have been able to reduce my swearing a good bit. I still have my bad days though. Here and in real life. Progress not perfection.

Agreed. Hope is for a desirable outcome of things that are out of our control.
“I hope Nickelback comes to concert in my town”
“I hope the weather is agreeable tomorrow for my Nickelback themed BBQ”.
Hope is not for the things that are in control, like “I hope I don’t kick myself in the teeth on purpose”. If you don’t want to, don’t do it, that simple.
