By Mark L. Stockton
Here's the bad news: At purchase, this homebuyer was able to secure a 95 percent loan with payments structured to start off small and increase over time as her income and equity grew. Ecstatic at the prospect of being able to own a new home with a modest down payment, she was unaware of the danger that lay ahead. So too was her lender, apparently. She can be forgiven; she was not what is sometimes referred to as a "sophisticated investor." How can an average consumer be expected to understand market dynamics and complex financial dealings? Isn't that why they rely on professionals?
The lender, however, should have known better. What happened to real estate markets nationwide soon thereafter was not an anomaly. It has happened often in the past, and it will happen again in the future. Every time investment dollars become more abundant and credit restrictions relax, you can bet this same scenario will play out in real estate markets across the country.
This homebuyer then lost her job in 2010. She was forced to confront the fact that she was unemployed and would have to compete with tens of thousands of other unemployed individuals for a position that would probably pay less than her old job—if she could find employment at all. The value of her home had declined by nearly 50 percent in the years since she had made her purchase. Instead of building equity, she was underwater on her mortgage. Eventually, her home was foreclosed and she found herself in a position that is all too common today. While not homeless, she faced bankruptcy and the inevitable emotional and financial difficulties that ensue.
If the proper tools and analytics had been available to the lender in 2005, chances are things would have turned out better for all parties. It is reasonable to assume that the lender, recognizing the instability in the housing market, would have modified its lending practices, and terms offered to borrowers would have become more restrictive. In fact, there's a high probability that the instability would have never reached such extremes; lenders and investors might have acted promptly and prudently to put downward pressure on rapidly inflating sale prices, and subsequent losses might have been significantly reduced.
This unfortunate homebuyer might not have qualified for a loan at all, and would have perhaps been forced to continue renting until she accumulated a suitable down payment. If, and when, she was ready to make a purchase, she might have had to settle for a "starter home" rather than opting to buy her dream house. These, by the way, are not bad things. Until recently, this was regarded as the appropriate path to homeownership in America.
So here's the message: Prudent lending and investing must be based on more than just accurate appraised values. Values must be scrutinized for their sustainability as well. As all parties to this transaction discovered, an accurate value for a home yesterday might differ substantially from an accurate value for the same home today. That doesn't make either value conclusion less accurate, but it does reveal that markets fluctuate and values must be viewed within the context of current market trends and long-term sustainability.
If your current valuation solution does not provide you with both a reasonably accurate value conclusion—supported by industry standard analytics—and a reasonable measure of sustainability, you need a solution that does.

Usually there isn't a heartbeat until 9-12 weeks, I don't know why the doctor would be concerned if they wasn't a heartbeat, it's still too early. They didn't even attempt to hear the heartbeat at 9 weeks with my kids, they waited until my next appt which was a month later. I wouldn't worry, you can always look up when a baby gets their heartbeat, it does say 9-12 weeks on any site I've seen. Don't stress just wait until your next appt. I will pray for you and your baby!posted 02/25/2011 by brittanyb_888
I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks 5 days and there was a string heartbeat. It should have shown by now. They can see it at this point, but won't be able to hear it until 9-12 weeks.posted 06/24/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
I lost my son at 19 weeks and then.was pregnant again 2 months later. I had am early vaginal ultrasound done at what I thought was 7 weeks and 5 days turned out baby was measured at 6 weeks and 6 days. He had a heartbeat of 135 bpm. But my doctor said everything was normal. so I'm sure they would have seen something. I'll pray for you and your baby.posted 01/17/2015 by toxikramirez360
I went in for a vaginal US at 5 wks. We could see the strong little heartbeat but could not hear it. I went in today at 8 wks 2 days first they tried an external US but had to do a vaginal. They could not find a heartbeat. The doctor said it was an early miscarriage. I have had no cramping or bleeding. My D&C is scheduled for tomorrow. This is my first pregnancy, it was a big surprise because I have PCOS & endrometriosis & was told I'd need fertility help to conceive. I so sorry what you're going through I feel your pain.posted 07/25/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

However, this will not be any ordinary interpretation of the story, according to the organisers.
One of the key issues that will be explored in the show at the Teatro Lope de Vega on November 20th, 21st, 27th and 28th is the "great paradox" of the central protagonist.
A representative from the venue pointed out that the main character is a liar, thief, prostitute and criminal, yet she is widely seen as a symbol of a free woman.
This new focus should give the performance added depth, both for those who have seen the show before and others who are viewing it for the first time.
Carmen, which was originally written by Georges Bizet but here has been adapted by Prosper Merimee, tells the story of a fiery gypsy who woos men with her beauty.
Performance times vary depending on the date, with admission costing between 4 (£3.50) and 21. Tickets are available online or at the box office.
For more information on this event visit the Teatro Lope de Vega website or contact the venue on +34 954 590 867.

While social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter allow us to share photos and keep in touch, the idea of social media bullying is a growing concern.
Police are not taking the topic lightly. Tarboro police officers are hosting an anti-cyber bullying forum called "the Victimization of Social Media," on Thursday.
The idea of the forum is to spark a conversation between community leaders, parents, and children about the misuse of social media in Edgecombe County.
The meeting will be held at Tarboro Town Hall 6 p.m. Thursday.

Beyonce has been announced as the new face of the Swedish fashion brand H&M and will feature prominently in the chain's global summer campaign.
Rumors of the gig first circulated in January when photographers caught Beyonce posing for a tropical shoot in the Bahamas, and her dancer Kimberly Gipson tweeted, "First day of trial in the Bahamas! H&M all set . go," before deleting the tweet, presumably after getting an ear full from an H&M executive.
Now, Beyonce has officially announced her collaboration with the brand.
"I've always liked H&M's focus on fun and affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island," she said in a statement.
For the new campaign, Beyonce – who released her new track "Bow Down/I Been On" to mixed reviews this week – was shot by photography duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinnodh Matadin in the Bahaman capital city of Nassau.

It's time to graduate to the new blog system
OK, while our new system is far from perfect, they have made progress. There is now the ability to post comments and, thankfully, it appears that all of the old comments (at least those from January 2008 and since) have been retained.
So...I'm going to ask all of you who have bookmarked this site to make this site your new bookmark. There will be some growing pains, but I'm confident we'll work through them - and soon. Shoot, the trade deadline is already in full force with the Matt Holliday deal (which I analyzed for the new site).
It touched me like you wouldn't believe that we got 50 comments yesterday, at a time when the only way this site could be accessed was by bookmarkers. I really do appreciate all of the support.
Thanks to the IMDb for the photo.

A-listings: Celebrity Real Estate on the Market
Howard Hughes
Summertide ranch, previously owned by Aviator, infamous recluse, and the inspiration behind Leonardo DiCaprio's performance in The Aviator, Howard Hughes, has just flown onto the market with a pricetag of $19.5 million.
This estate has only traded hands once since the Hughes estate owned it and retains the charm that Hughes fell in love with when he bought the property in the 1950s.
Built in 1934, the log cabin-style home boasts a 2,518-square-foot main house with five bedrooms and two baths. In addition, there is a 1,343-square-foot guesthouse that was added to the property in 1940. If that isn't enough living space, Summertide sits on 5.5 acres and a walk-down pier makes access to the lake easy.
The Summertide Estate is being sold by Chase International.
Rosie O'Donnell
Comedienne, TV talk show host, and activist Rosie O'Donnell can add another skill to her resume: luxury real estate flipper.
During the summer of 2012, O'Donnell bought the duplex penthouse at 130 West 12th Street for $8 million.
The home, which was designed by Cook + Fox, is a spacious 3,200 square feet and features four bedrooms and three baths. High-end appliances, beautiful light fixtures, a magnificent terrace and a view of the empire state building complete this beautiful home, now listed for $10.9 million.
This property is listed by Douglas Elliman.
Dave Grohl
Live like a rock star!
Dave Grohl, front man for the Foo Fighters, has put his beachfront home in Oxnard, California on the market for a rocking $3.2 million.
This four-bedroom, four-bath home sits on Mandalay Beach and offers panoramic ocean views, including the Channel Islands.
This home is perfect for entertaining, as the set up not only invites you to hang out on the beach, but the inside is wired for home entertainment and the fourth bedroom has been turned into a theater room.
This property is being sold by The Agency.

DIRT Team Arrests Man Second Time for Drug Charges
A man sheriff's deputies arrested on drug charges earlier this month has been arrested again… on drug charges.
Sangamon County Undersheriff Jack Campbell says 48 year old Steven Davis was arrested this week after deputies recovered five grams of heroin and nearly 28-hundred dollars in cash. The Drug Interdiction Response Team obtained a warrant after doing controlled heroin buys.
This comes just weeks after he was jailed for other drug charges. He was out on bond for that arrest.

Lately I have been noticing that i always get black under my eyes from my mascara. No matter what I do it always ends up there... I normally use Lancome Hypnose and swear by it.. Maybe it's bc I use latisse and my eye lashes are so long.. Either way- Im hunting for a new mascara that won't fall under my eyes.
There is a "new"( new for me) line in Sephora called Hourglass? Anyone know anything about it? I bought their Mascara in black, a Lip gloss in Siren red and a Nude lip liner pencil. I have to say I really love the quality of their products. The lip packaging is ok- LOL but that me just being picky. The lip color Siren red is amazing and almost looks like metallic on the lips.. If you like red I suggest trying this one out. I will post a pic of me with it on later.
Then I also picked up Dior Show Iconic mascara also in black.. I used to use and LOVE dior show. and Then I tried the Blackout and loved and now Im trying this one. Don't know how I feel yet.
Please someone tell me what your favorite dior mascara is... And what the difference is.
Then I got Tarte- Ephaseyes to highlight my bottom inner lips.. It will help open and brighten my eyes...
And last but not least- I picked up Lorac 3D Liquid Lustre... I thought originally it would serve as a base for my MAC startles.. But it is actually beautiful on its own.. Theres so many uses for it- will blog some of my favs.

May 4, 2016
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Environmentalists are not backing away from a lawsuit over replacing the only bridge to much of North Carolina's Outer Banks, continuing a court fight despite pressure from politicians.
Lawyers for the Southern Environmental Law Center told a federal appeals court that North Carolina's plans to replace the Bonner Bridge do not explain how to keep open the road through a wildlife refuge frequently cut off by storms and migrating sand.
The appeal was filed as North Carolina's top two state lawmakers on Tuesday again blasted the group as risking the lives and livelihoods of Hatteras Island residents now without road access.
The 50-year-old bridge was closed suddenly last week after inspections discovered that sand washed away from support columns had made the span too dangerous for traffic.

Monday, 23 June 2014 | MYT 10:32 PM
LONDON (Reuters) - Defending champion Andy Murray made a smooth return to Wimbledon with a 6-1 6-4 7-5 defeat of lively Belgian lightweight David Goffin on Centre Court on Monday.
The 27-year-old, who a year ago memorably became Britain's first men's singles champion at the All England Club for 77 years, walked on court to a standing ovation and responded with a clinical victory.
Murray, bumped up to third seed despite slipping to five in the world rankings since his Wimbledon triumph, was immediately in the grasscourt groove, outclassing Goffin in a 28-minute first set that resembled an exhibition match.
The 23-year-old Goffin, who has flat-lined since pushing Roger Federer hard in the fourth round of the 2012 French Open, shook off the early nerves to give Murray a match thereafter.
He even carved out two break points in the fourth game of the third set, only for Murray, with new coach Amelie Mauresmo watching on intently, to respond to the danger.
One flicked backhand down the line by Goffin to hold serve in the next game had the man from Liege smiling, but his resistance snapped at 5-5 when he dropped serve from 40-0 up.
Murray duly held serve in the next game to move through and maintain his record of avoiding first-round defeats at grand slams since an early loss at the 2008 Australian Open.

This is very good. You did a really good job with it. You really captured the essence of the wolf while putting in the background to make it more about the wolf. I love how you did the background to make it look pretty but not take away from the wolf. This is very original and I don't think I have ever seen something like this before. You have a very good technique. I love how you made the fur look like it strands just like real fur. You did really good matching the colors together to make it look good. The colors are equally balanced. Most of all I love ow you made the snow in this and how you made it look like it was snowing but yet shimmering. This is very good and you did a good job with everything. The proportions are very good as well.

Lightworks Video Editor Goes Open Source
The Lightworks video nonlinear editing program will be released as Lightworks Open Source in the fall of 2010.
Lightworks is targeted primarily at professional video editors, thus isn't well known publicly. The nonlinear editing solution (NLE) was acquired August of last year by the EditShare company, whose core products are multimedia storage and backup solutions. Releasing Lightworks under a free license would thus help EditShare in finding a community willing to further develop and add extensions to the product.
According to EditShare's press release, a free download of Lightworks should be available in the third quarter of 2010. The software would then be accessible to developers to build add-ons and plugins. An online marketplace will also provide commercial opportunities. When Lightworks is to go completely under a free license, and which license, is still to be decided.
not open sourcefrom EditShare:
Please remember as well that the process of going Open Source is not something that happens overnight. Before passing Lightworks code over to Open Source developers, there's the massive task of preparing the software, legally and technically.
Wrong, i can happen overnight. Legally what? Is this project open source or not?!? Technically you have a bunch of programmer working on this software to clean it up etc... but the open source community can work for you. I don't get it. You are using FFMPEG, QT, all this would be a piece of cake to port to linux...
They say that near middle of 2011 they will release the code... let's see and wait.

Kid Rock Cruise
The Kid, who also hosted a cruise earlier this year, once again plans to bring along his rocker friends on next year's sailing – though names of the other artists have yet been released.
The 2011 party is onboard the Carnival Triumph, cruising round-trip from New Orleans to Cozumel, Mexico.
Check out this year's fun in the video.
Featured events include a trivia contest pitting musician against musician, artist-hosted Bingo and a Flip Cup competition. You can even have your photo taken with the rock rebel - hopefully with Kid's six-pack on full display.
There are also theme nights and lots of music – everyone is assured a reserved concert ticket.
A lot of the cabins are already sold out thanks to a pre-sale to fans, but there are still some available from $966 per person.
The cruise is organized by tour company Sixthman.

Kid rap, Kid rock, Kid country? How about Kid loser, no talent bum, self appointed toadie to the stars. I'm not a big fan of country but why would they open their arms to such a nobody and let him host the CMT's? I tried to watch but could only stand about 20 minutes. Missed a lot of good performers but I will not sit through this never has been's Bull Shit wanna be image. I can't believe anyone paid good American money for any of his 2 recordings.

Isn't this guy a little too old to be called "Kid Rock"?? Good grief. Time to accept that you are no longer a "kid", when you are a year from 40. How about "Man Rock", or "Old Rocker"? Anything but "kid". It's become ludicrous.July 19 2010 at 7:12 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

Actually, you have to go thru Sixthman to book. Carnival shows it, but they will rebook you. You can go to kidrockcruise.com or sixthman.com
I was on the last Criuse a few months ago. It was fantastic. And Kid was very accessible as were all the bands. Amazing music and great people. It was an incredible time and can't wait for this one!

Typical. Carnival WOULD host someone like that. Blech. I'd never do a cruise 'sponsored' by a celebrity. They get a free cabin and they're more able to afford it than anyone, and it's just a digusting 'groupie-fest'.July 19 2010 at 4:19 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply

A medical helicopter crashed in a remote area in southwest Colorado today, killing all three people on board.
The Montezuma County coroner says the victims are the pilot and two emergency workers.
Their identities haven't been released.
The helicopter crashed while trying to land in a wooded area near Mancos to pick up a patient injured in a logging accident.
David Bruzzese, spokesman for Mercy Medical Center in Durango, says the crew was employed by Tri-State Careflight, which is headquartered in Bullhead City, Arizona.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer says the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.

Bad Words?
Despite my frequent jokes about how you can't take me anywhere (or you can take me anywhere twice—the second time to apologize), the truth is that I'm fairly adept at behaving like a civilized human being when I must. I know which fork to use when at a fancy table. Although my everyday life tends towards jeans and t-shirts, I clean up and dress up when required. And please know that I would never dream of cursing at a stranger or even using "strong" words in polite situations.
That said, I'll confess that… I swear. Not a lot, not indiscriminately, but yes: I use naughty words sometimes.
I'm well-educated and something of a vocabulary snob. I love fancy words. Heck, I make my living as a writer. Some say—and I'm not sure I'd disagree—that cursing is lazy. It's easy and unimaginative. A true wordsmith can express what needs to be said in a much more creative way, right? Sure! That's true. I'd also posit that sometimes there's a feeling a person feels which can best be expressed with the judicious placement of an f-bomb. That's true, too.
Not everyone gives in to salty language. Some think it's crass and unnecessary, and I respect their opinion. What I'm telling you, though, is that I, personally, enjoy the occasional foray into carefully-monitored usage of some swear words. I find them a useful augmentation of language, particularly in times of distress.
When my children were little, I made sure not to say anything around them I didn't want to hear parroted back to me. I was successful, too; we never had one of those "oh no, the toddler overheard me hit my thumb with a hammer and is wandering around the house saying, OH S***!" sorts of things. In keeping with my general philosophy about swearing—there is a time and a place, and within earshot of little ones is neither—it wasn't a problem to make sure the words my children heard were never problematic.
As the kids grew, I had to think harder about the things that came out of my mouth. I don't think I'd really considered the phrase "that sucks" to be all that coarse (despite a grad school professor asking me if I understood the derivation, and me arguing that it's become part of the common lexicon)… until the first time I heard it coming out of my daughter's mouth. She was about 7, and yeah, hearing her say it made me reconsider.
"You can't say that," I said.
"Why not?" she asked. "You say it. Is that a swear?"
"Not exactly," I said. "It's just… not super nice. Not exactly a swear, but not exactly not. You can't say that until you're 14. That's the rule."
Where did I get 14?
I'd love to tell you it was a carefully considered benchmark, but the truth is that it was a pulled-out-of-thin-air point in the future (maybe loosely based on high school entry age?) that seemed ages away. Somehow it stuck, too. Over time the kids were warned of other words they weren't allowed to use until they were 14, such as "crap."
You know what happened, right? My daughter turned 14, and a few of the previously forbidden words crept into her vocabulary. (It should go without saying that as a teenage girl, there are many, many things which she believes suck.) As a general rule, she's not given to swearing. (Complaining, yes. Swearing, no.) But then my son turned 14, and suddenly I was listening to my children trying to one-up each other with dueling "that's what she said"s and describing someone as "a complete douche" being countered with, "no, a complete douchecanoe," and I felt conflicted.
On the one hand, I feel like we're clear about the difference between "this is not the nicest possible language" and "these are words I really don't want to hear you say at all." By some people's standards, my kids aren't even swearing. (Though, let's be clear: What they say in front of me and what they say with their friends differs. That's fine with me.) Furthermore, these are words I sometimes use, and my kids are now just a few years away from supposed adulthood. I figure there's something to be said for allowing them the space to try out some of these forbidden fruits while both removing part of the allure (what's the fun if you can say it in front of your mom?) and reminding them that certain language is not to be used in polite settings or around younger kids (I guess our home doesn't count).
On the other hand, I feel like I have bigger fish to fry when it comes to being the word police for my kids. If I'm being honest, I'd rather hear my kids swearing (in proper context, not in the middle of church or anything) than hear them call each other demeaning and/or hurtful names or tell each other to shut up. There was no admonishment for the whole "douche" conversation mentioned above other than "Ooookay, that's enough." In contrast, in our home, "shut up" is a sure way to earn yourself a swift consequence, because it's just plain rude. And insulting someone is mean, even if you use "regular" words like "stupid" or "ugly" to do it.
Words matter. How you use them, when you use them—it all matters. To me, swearing is sort of the greasy potato chips of the language word. I don't see the harm in an occasional indulgence, but they'd never work as a steady diet, and I certainly wouldn't show up at a formal event toting a bag of crinkle-cuts, either. I want my teens to understand that the way they choose to express themselves will cause people to make all sorts of assumptions about them, but I don't want that understanding to squash them into polite little boxes where they're afraid to say anything unpleasant, ever, either.
It's complicated. Really—I'm over 14, so I can say this—it kind of sucks.
Where do you stand on the language your kids are allowed to use? Have your rules changed for older kids?

This is an interesting topic – I use swear words (probably more than I should) because I think they illustrate my feelings pretty colorfully. But I have a toddler and need to curb that a bit. Two things come to mind that I've read recently about swearing and kids 1. the reason for kids not to swear is not because the words are "wrong" or inherently bad but because, as you pointed out, people make assumptions about what kind of people use that language. Other parents might not let their kids play with yours if yours are the ones cursing. (more for toddlers but still). and then 2. In France they encourage kids to have their own, benign, swear words called caca boudin (translates literally to poop sausage). all little kids are tought about swearing using caca boudin as the template phrase they are allowed to use and are corrected on context of when and where such language is tolerated. I think that's pretty brilliant.

I'm going to own it. My sixteen year old has been known to drop a judiciously placed f-bomb.
I'm a parenting fail 😉

Poop sausage. So much better than "freaking."
Sheryl Jan 14 at 3:15 pm Reply
My husband swears like a sailor, and I try not to swear at all. Although, I must say that sometimes "pickle juice" just doesn't cut it, and I'd LIKE to drop the f-bomb once in a while. My kids know that there's nothing inherently *bad* about any word, it's just whatever arbitrary construct is set up in a given culture, but I am part of that culture and I find it offensive.
Fake swear words like freaking, I don't have a problem with. Words that might be offensive in other lands are OK too, like bloody, though I prefer bloomin' myself, because it has a positive meaning, but is satisfying to say when you drop a pot on your toe.
My teens rarely swear, because I don't like it. I don't know what their language is like at school, but I suspect it's about the same as it is at home. When they do swear, I tend to overlook it, because they are just words. Jerk, stupid and shut up are also on the no fly zone in our house.
I have to tell you this funny story. Yesterday a friend posted on Facebook that yesterday her dog got out when her twin sons were chatting with some neighbor kids at the door. A third teenage son, in pink bunny footed-pajamas, hearing that the dog got out, comes storming down the hall, yelling "Oh for fuck's sake!"
Kathryn Jan 14 at 3:26 pm Reply
This is an interesting dilemma in our house – I have a husband in the navy, a 17 year old daughter, and a 6 year old son. I feel there's nothing inherently wrong with swearing, as long as it's not every second word, because that's just lazy. And I'll admit I got a bit lax about it as my daughter got older. The 6 year old makes this really problematic, though, because he is perfectly happy to repeat whatever the rest of us are throwing around. It does make some conversations a bit complicated.

I am such a potty mouth myself, I don't have much of a leg to stand on in regards to my children's mouths- but I guess much like the French, we have tried to teach the kids that swearing and what words are being used is highly situational. My family (who are also relative potty mouths) are not going notice if you say fuck. My in-laws (who probably feel bad for saying "sugar" occasionally) are. Plan your expressions accordingly! Funny story. My kids heard my father-in-law say damn once and were completely taken aback if not downright stunned by this outburst. However they continue to not bat an eye when I call another driver (with the windows up, of course) a fucking douchebag loser. That's just mommy driving.
IrishCream Jan 15 at 10:18 am Reply
That's me, too. Especially when driving. My dad swore like a sailor when I was a kid, but my sister and I understood that we weren't allowed to use that language until we were older (12+ with our friends, maybe late high school in front of adults in the family, never in front of teachers/employers). My kids have certainly heard me swear, and my preschooler has experimented with saying "Damn it." She's been told that there are some words only grownups can say, and that's pretty much been the end of it. They don't seem too scarred by my foul language, so I'm not worried about it.

The other day, my 4yo was really angry with me. So, after searching her vocabulary for the worst word to describe me, she screamed "Mom, you're POOP!". She was immediately extremely remorseful and apologetic – I was just proud that that was the worst word she knew. 😉
I rarely curse, but I appreciate the occasional f-bomb. I expect that we'll have to have more conversations about language and situational behaviour next year after she starts school – I honestly have no idea where the boundaries will have to lay.
Cheryl S. Jan 14 at 4:12 pm Reply
My daughter is 8. She will tell me that something "sucks" if she's really upset. BUT, she knows that she doesn't say that outside the house. She also knows that there are words that aren't nice (I won't call anything a "bad" word. Words are words, how you use them makes the difference.) Like calling someone stupid, ugly, fat, etc. She's allowed to use those, though, just not in being mean to others.
As for curse words, she certainly knows them, but doesn't use them. When she gets older I think I'll be of the "it's OK occsaionally or for a really good reason".
Funny story. I swore like a sailor as a college student. Then one day I was standing in line and the 3 girls behind me (also college students) were using the F-word about every other word. It sounded so ugly to me that I cleaned up my language almost instantly.
My Kids Mom Jan 14 at 5:23 pm Reply
I've given this a lot of thought. My boys are 10 and almost 13, and I'm finally feeling free to swear around them! I'm a preschool teacher, so I've curbed all impulsive swearing for career purposes. But when I'm aware of my audience and the time is right for just that *right* word, then I'm starting to use them again.
My kids were taught at a young age that there were "playground words" and "grandma words" and they were never to be confused. I do not care what words they use at school as long as no adult overhears them. If anyone is around them who might be offended, they'd better stick to "grandma words." One night at dinner my husband and I gave definitions of all the swear words our kids could think of. They hardly knew any, so we ended up teaching them a few! I think hearing parents use them diffuses them somewhat, and having your parent define the word really wrecks it for future use.
Grammy Jan 14 at 6:03 pm Reply
I love your designations of "playground" vs. "grandma" words. That is really a good description.
Yes, I'm a grandma and I swear, but I would have never sworn in front of my grandmother, and most of the women my age that I know aren't pottymouths like me.
About 40 years ago a friend of mine told her 5-year-old that those are "bathroom words" and that meant that you can say them only if you are in the bathroom. It was hilarious to watch the little guy jump up from the dinner table to run into the bathroom to shout a swearword he wanted to shock his grandparents with. And it wore off really fast because he realized it's a big pain looking for a bathroom whenever you want to talk dirty. He grew up to be (as far as I know) a guy who never cusses.
Grammy Jan 14 at 5:55 pm Reply
I've always used swear words for flair and emphasis, as did my mother before me. So when my kids were little I told them "any words (except hurtful ones) are allowed in this house." Nobody gets to ever use bigoted language — that's not swearing, it's just wrong. Other words, go ahead.
Along with that freedom comes responsibility, so that means you can never swear at school, or in anyone else's home. Not the grandparents, not your friends' homes, none. I figured it would be ridiculous to expect them not to swear with their friends when all the kids were out of earshot of everyone's parents, so I didn't say anything about those times. If they weren't smart enough to know how to hang out with their friends and swear without getting caught by anyone in authority then, it indicated they weren't too bright and I had more to worry about than language.
Interesting outcome, both my son (now 48) and my daughter (now 42) never did swear very much. They both know all the best swear words and use them occasionally, but they just never developed a habit, perhaps because there was nothing delicious about it. What fun is it to say things that are not going to irritate your parents?
I grew up not swearing, mostly because my parents never did. My dad was a chemistry professor at the university, so he had these quirky and funny chemistry swearwords. About sulfur and other elements, or just other cute versions of normal swears. I never realized how modified and mild these were, until I started growing up.
Also, as someone whose first language isn't English, it is much easier to say swear words in English than in my first language! They seem more like out of a movie, and not nearly as "real".
For the longest while, I couldn't bear to say a swear word. It was just something I felt blocked from doing, even though I don't remember my parents putting any special emphasis on it. I just couldn't, I felt horrible if I tried and it never turned out right. It would sound way awkward. It took me a while to actually teach myself to swear properly, with gusto.
I must say, I appreciate the feeling of freedom in knowing you can say anything, when that is appropriate. For some situations, a swear word is just the most fitting. I wouldn't want to be the kind of person whose every second word is a swear, but I prefer the feeling of freedom with language.
Ak Jan 14 at 10:45 pm Reply
As a high school teacher with super-human hearing, I love listening to them try to sort out the proper usage of swear words.
If they say them at home, they say them x40 at school even if you've told them to not say those words in front of adults. It's just so cute to watch them muddle through the balance of use vs overuse, sassy vs mean, or edgy vs offensive.

I was in the Navy, so I learned to swear like a, well, like a sailor. However, when I was young I wasn't allowed to swear at all. In fact, I remember singing "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" when I was little and I would skip the "damn" in it, even when I was alone, because I wasn't supposed to swear.

This reminds me of one of my all time favorite panels of Calvin and Hobbes: It shows Calvin on the phone, and this is his side of teh conversation:
"County library? Reference desk, please. Hello? Yes, I need a word definition. Well, that's the problem. I don't know how to spell it and I'm not allowed to say it. Could you just rattle off all the swear words you know and I'll stop you when…Hello?"

When I was a junior in high school, a group of German high school students came over to stay with us (we went over there a couple months later). One of the guys was trying to give this presentation in English and was struggling, and finally said shit. And every jaw in the room dropped.
His reply" "You don't say shit in American classroom?"
Not so much, but the cultural exchange was impressive

I know that my kids are going to curse. They come by it honestly! 😉 That said, I have told them that adults don't like to hear it from children. I don't want to hear it from them, neither do their grandparents/teachers/my adult friends, etc. It is a 'rule' that seems to work for us.

I am kind of the black sheep of the homeschooling society in my area for this reason! lol "I am who I am"
I actually don't use the F-bomb but I am totally into say hell, sh*%, and A@@. I have taught my kids right from wrong and they don't use words like sucks, crap, freakin, or stupid. My kids laugh at me and tell me I owe them a quarter. We actually even had an official "WTH" day this past Sunday. My husband let my kids have a Dr.Pepper with breakfast (they never get caffeine & for a damn good reason). My reaction was WHAT THE HELL! So, they ate whipped cream out of the container with a spoon for lunch, played video games for hours, and did not do their chores. They loved it. They laughed so hard when they asked for the silly requests and I would just say sure, what the hell….
I think I will make it an annual event around here. I mean why why hell not? HA
Love your posts…

My 9-year-old kid knows he is allowed to curse, but only in front of me and his grandmother (my mother). Funny thing is, he doesn't abuse the privilege. He will occasionally say sh** in the car, just because he can.
He is NOT allowed to say someone is stupid. It's fine for him to stub his toe and say, "oh sh**" but he may NOT call someone stupid. He does not even know about the word "retard" and its derivations, as far as I know.
When he said something was gay, we had A Discussion about that. Turned out he heard someone say it, and didn't even know what it meant. He is just as gay-friendly as I am, although not quite as educated on the verbiage. He definitely knows now.
And I? I am the one who taught him to curse fluently. I manage not to do it while teaching preschool, but outside of school, I might as well be a sailor. 😉

Albino Pleco
I have been looking for an albino pleco. Do all kinds of plecos have an albino version? I have been looking all over and can't find any at stores. They must be rare and probably a lot of money. Anyone have info on Albino Plecos?
What kind are you looking for specifically? Albino bristlenose plecs are very easy to find where I am.
Albino common plecs are not as common as the original strains but they won't be the ones you are looking for your tank. You may have to research further on the plec species you want. Most are too big for a 55 gallons containing synos, cories, etc.
i have an albino lonig fin pleco and i cant find any information and it anywhere anyone know any?
Welcome to Fishforum.com.:wave:

My lfs has tons of these guys http://www.deltaguppies.com/IMG_8770.jpg they charge $4.99 and are labeled as albino plecos[/url]
Lindberg- your Albino High Fin is probably a bristle nose pleco. The longfin variety has been developed in captivity and is starting to become quite popular in the industry.
