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. :-)

Good link. I commented.
I went to her site, and I think I might just have to read a bit more of her stuff, so thanks!
Now I might be a bit of a wet blanket about re-visiting past loves. I could have written that craigs list post at one point in my life.
And then we did try to revisit our past relationship. Our reasons for separating in the first place came right back to the surface fairly quickly. He had NO passion (I'm not speaking of the romantic type of passion), and I had too much (if there is such a thing).
I think that except for special circumstances (like folks become separated due to things other than personality conflicts), it's very easy to forget the 'bad' and romantisize that it'll be different this time.
I'm glad I had the experience to revisit that relationship though, because I learned a WHOLE lot about myself and I quit fantisizing about the 'what if's'.
(now running off with wet blanket in tow)
