To baXter:

Technically, the word was thirteen letters long, but that’s because I used the adjective form ending in “ing” instead of the noun form ending in “er”.

And it isn’t that I rarely use it. As The Socialist will only be too happy to tell you, I never use it. I find it offensive. The poor man is far more free with his vocabulary than I am, and it drives him batty when I berate him for using a few words that I find especially vile.

But then again, that “M”-word-that-I-never-use idiot hit my Prius. If that occasion didn’t call for an especially vile word, then nothing does.

  1. i’m glad you’re okay. i was amused at your use of the "M" word you rarely use… am i to assume this word is twelve letters long?

    ; )

    Accident reconstructionist. That sounds like a FUN job. Especially if you just enjoy taking apart destruction.

    Best o’ luck with the tickets… i have zero experience there. Wish i could help!

  2. I think you are probably are allowed to use the "M" word after being rear-ended. I vaguely remember using that one myself when I fit The Amazing Flying Cadillac Bumper.

  3. One of the street drugs in the lecture I attended was called MTF. The lecturer told us to use our imagination.

    Glad no one was injured.

    I have been thinking about the Socialist…

  4. An ‘accident reconstructionist’ hit your car? Talk about irony. Glad you and the car are ok. My best to The Socialist.

    As for the ‘M’ word, that one doesn’t bother me, but the ‘C’ word *really* does. And that’s one I never use (there aren’t many! lol). But like you said, if getting rear-ended isn’t a cause to use a word like that, then what is?

  5. Ah… thanks for the clarification. i can’t really picture you saying that word anyway… in any form… it just doesn’t fit.

    That was, by the way, a compliment.

    ; )

  6. It’s a load of poo! He’s talking poo! He’s a big liar!

    Instead of getting on a plane, couldn’t you just walk… It’s a lot cheaper and you’ll feel very healty. Maybe I should of read the whole thing through…

  7. I’m partial to Alaska Airlines myself, but I know they don’t fly in and out of too many locations on the east coast. I think the closest to you is in DC.

    Too funny about the profession of the gentleman who rear ended you. You would think with a job like that he would be more aware of road conditions and situations!

  8. I’m so sorry to read about your accident. I know exactly how you feel, having been the victim of a rear-ender myself a little over a month ago. I’m just glad that your Prius wasn’t totaled like poor Phoebe.

  9. I’m so sorry for the Socialist and for the loss of his mother. I’m glad he has you there with him. Sometimes just being there is all the comfort a person needs.

    As for bereavement fares, I didn’t know they even existed. I love to travel though and am always looking for low fares. Try American Airlines. I saw a fare the other day to California from TN (not sure where you’re from), but round trip it was only 198.00. Can’t beat that.

    Oh, I had to smile when I read who rear ended you.

    Love,

    Star
