The Random Thoughts of Kathy Howe.
Grandpa came up with the word KAZOOFUS and used it as a replacement word.
It most frequently replaced the word 'ass'. He tried so hard to not use
profanity in front of his sweet little granddaughters that KAZOOFUS was
his
fill-in word whenever he caught himself about to swear. My sister and
I,
being far too young to sling our own four letter naughty's around, gladly
adopted this wonderful new word that our family probably tolerated more
than they accepted.

1. True
2. Sort of true
3. Partly true
4. True as I see it
5. Truely exaggerated
6. As far from the truth as you can possibly get
I think in the writing world it's called Fiction and Nonfiction.
Whatever you call it, I call it opinion and freedom of speech and you
can take it or leave it. You have the right to remain silent or you
can SHOUT OUT or email me directly or EXIT your browser immediately
and never come back.
If you read something and you think it's about you, maybe it is,
maybe it isn't. Chance's are it isn't or I'd mention your name.
Don't get a big head over it. The world doesn't revolve around you.
This isn't Planet YOU nor is it

I don't imagine anything truly juicy or offensive ever getting
posted here but if it does, deal with it and move on.
Oh, and thanks for visiting. :-)

This thought occurred before or after you read the flyer about free tennis lessons?
Wow, if that is your criteria for choosing careers, I suppose I could have gone into the medical field.
Oh wait. In a very roundabout way, I did.
On some days, a room full of corpses would be a pleasure to work with. Quiet, no demands, no whining....
Yikes, that's basically my life as a Hospice volunteer. ;)
(although I have seen a few corpses in my time spent there...)
I completely agree. It totally takes the pressure off when a person has finished dying, as opposed to when they're still somewhere in the process and you, as a decent human being, might be expected to actually DO something about it. Corpses are so easy to get along with.
