If you use archaic or extremely lengthy words prevalently as a means of showing off I can understand where it might pose a problem.  If your coworkers are just not catching words they don't know every once in a while because they never read books or participate in conversations more in-depth than their latest boy/girlfriends, one should not have to reduce one's operating vocabulary. 

What if I worked with a teen?  Should I be reduced to saying "OMG she is so hawt!"?
"Do you sing at church?"
"Yes I sing at church, I sing at home, at work, in the car, at the supermarket, at Wal-Mart..."

Hang in there, the explanation is at the bottom.


In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderousness.

Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compact comprehensibility, coalescent consistency and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of arrant garrulity, jejune babbling and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descanting and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast.

Sedulously avoid all polysyllable profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vivacity, ventriloquial verbosity and magniloquent rapidity. Shun double entendres and pestiferous profanity, observant or apparent.

In other words, talk plainly, briefly, naturally, sensibly,truthfully, purely, keep from slang, don't put on airs, say what you mean, mean what you say and DON'T USE BIG WORDS.

I might strangle someone. :/ haha.. I want a nap very badly. I have a headache too..having one everyday all week. I'm at work, and I've been here for almost three hours and I don't clock in until 3pm! I had to get up early this morning for bus duty, then I had Sunday school to teach. Now working until 8:30. I AM thankful it's a five hour shift instead of working 12 or 1 to 8:30! I'm pretty sure I just need a vacation from work longer than my normal sporadic two days off. Everything is getting to me.. *sigh* I just feel overwhelmed with everything going on! :(

Ready for bed.  Unfortunately I'm on schedule to teach Sunday night Children's Church.  Maybe with enough chocolate I won't pass out mid-lesson.

This morning I discovered that a little black banty rooster had appeared from somewhere.  I assume somebody dumped him here?  That makes me feel kind of violated. lol  :freaky:  If that is not the case, only other place he could've come from would've been up the road...but I don't think a chicken would come that far just wandering around....it's not impossible, but seems highly improbable.

:-?

Went to church, came home.  Went to Indy to a bird fair and came back home with a Rural King stop in Martinsville.  The guy that came twice for birds yesterday is coming back for turkeys in a little bit.

I'm eating a salad before tending fowl.

The Purple Fuzzy

Cooking brisket and turkey and chicken.  Ben should be here soon.

Lynx

Seth why do you never eat a salad with some of your foul in it?  Chicken salad, turkey salad, goose salad...  Goose pate is good too.  :D

Have you slapped that one dude from Indiana with a pie in the face today?
 

Chseeads

Well, the turkey guy didn't come...I don't know if he wants to come later or not, he didn't specify.  :smirk2:

I had a bad dream. :sadbounce:

Been a long day today. Had good church. I was exhausted, so I came home, finished cooking lunch, cleaned the kitchen while I was cooking, and then took a nap. That's obviously when I had the bad dream.

I'm doing nothing now. Watching hoarders with mom and Dad.

MelodyB

Oh. I also ate lunch before my nap. BBQ pork chops, mashed taters and corn on the cob.

Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight.
I wish someone would make an expresscard-ADAT or USB-ADAT adaptor.

......


Oh well, I never got the race car I wished for when I was a kid either.

 :hi:  Lou called me while I was on the way home to tell me that my weenie dog, Abby, who I've had since I was 21 had died. She was the last living link to my bachleor past- I bought her at a motorcycle shop from a genuine "biker mama" around 1998 when I was scooting around the country on two wheels. She was toothless, nearly blind, and I should've had compassion and had her put down years ago, but couldn't bear to do so..  Gonna miss the little thing......I had to bury her before church, so I was a bit late. :cry2:

Evangelist didn't make it in.... he had truck trouble in Tulsa and wound up preaching there. All's good, though- Bro Papa did a great job preaching on "Overcoming the Spirit of Complacancy.' A timely message that I know I needed, and I suspect several other church members did too. Now, I'm fixin' to eat a bite of pizza and go to bed. Love y'all and I will talk at ya later, God willing.... :hi:
