As of 1000hrs my blood pressure this morning was already 139 on top. Mind you I'm on 200mg 2 times a day of Labetalol which is 400 mg a day. My blood pressure shouldn't be rising up this quickly this early in the morning. That is it shouldn't be this high at all unless someone is pushing my buttons.
Nothing pushes my buttons more quickly then unnecessary cussing. I can understand that if you are in extreme pain you are allowed to cuss but still even when I had my finger slammed in the hinges on a ladder by a co-worker once I only muttered, "finger, finger, finger!".
Really is there a need to cuss so frequently? I think not. So as of today there is now a large pickle jar in my house for cussing. You will learn to watch your language around me so that I don't get my blood pressure up.
If I have to watch my anger level and "let things go" when they are troubling me it means that you should too. Life is short and I'd rather not have a stroke or heart attack while trying to conceive.
So far this morning my husband had balled up a single one dollar bill for his first cuss of the day. Army guys tend to swear often, quite loudly, and without thought to others feelings. I plan on using the cuss jar money for household purchases. A reward for learning a lesson if you will.
Would you cuss at a priest, nun, or superior? I think not. Do I deserve to hear you curse words? If you feel the need to curse then leave my presence, go far from me, take a walk and cool down a bit then come back when you learn some manners. I deserve to be treated with respect too.
Remember I'm wanting peace so that I can create a life here. IVF isn't cheap and cursing just makes you look and sound cheap.
I'm a guilty cusser. Partly because my vocabulary is a bit limited when I'm angry/in pain. Partly because it's a way to relieve anxiety or vocalize said pain. Partly because it gets people's attention: I rarely cuss at work, so it has to be thousands of dollars bad to get me to that point.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I like money more. And you're point is well taken. I'd never hire an individual who insisted on cussing during a conversation, so why would I expect anything differently on my end. Good luck with the cuss jar.
Awww, feel better. Don't let yourself get all stressed. I'm thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Now if only my stepmom could have gotten this prior to the church service lol.
ReplyDeleteI do think you should be clear on what constitutes as cussing. For me, I don't tend to think of "crap" as cussing, but some people do. Some words are much more obvious...
I do think, though, that we should all use our words intelligently and intentionally, even if we don't cuss sometimes people will say something without thinking through what it really means, and can be significantly more hurtful that a single cuss word. Bravo to you for standing up for yourself!
