"Well, I thought I should've used that approach, and got too far into it before I realized I was f*cked"
I was having a tutor sesh yesterday. The student had recently taken an exam and wanted to go over some of the questions that had tripped her up.
She was explaining her thought process when she nonchalantly dropped the F-bomb.
Now, I personally speak quite cleanly, but often in my mind, I'm saying all kinds of nasty sh*t.
I happily welcome the introduction of "the f-word" or its various cousins from tutees, however. It's an indication to me that the tutees are comfortable around me. Yesterday was this particulary student's first F-bomb. It was followed by a couple of others later on, while she maintained her typically cheerful demeanor. It made me happy inside.
In other totally unrelated thoughts, I'm considering getting an Instant Pot. Is it worth it? Would I use it that much?
I certainly don't cook as much as I used to since the nest emptied, but I've heard good things about the ease and versatility of Instant Pots.
Plus Best Buy is teasing me by sending me random $5 coupons - spit in the ocean for an Instant Pot, but still...
'Bad' language is frequently used by guests at Zac's. It doesn't bother me at all. They're just words. Personally offensive language is something else of course.
ReplyDeleteI'm fine with it when used colloquially, not when used against something or group of people. Some people overdo it, and that just becomes annoying.
DeleteYes, yes, yes and YES on the Instant Pot. I LOVE mine. I have three. In my time I've killed two. Still have three now. I use them for sooooo many things. Even just for one person, there are many things to make in them. My email currently doesn't work, however I'm happy to answer any questions if you have some. Either here or on my blog. Whatever you need. I tell ya' these tools are amazing. Just make overnight tea in one of ours. Now we have enough iced tea to get through the weekend. So many uses.
ReplyDeleteYou have three and two deceased?! I'd say your an expert at this point, thanks for the recommend!
DeleteI kill all my tools. Almost all of them. I have the 3qt, 6qt and the 8qt. I LOVE them all for different reasons. Though could get by with just one, if I wanted. I don't wanted. I like having a range.
DeleteMy mom swears by her Instant Pot. I have their rice cooker and I like it but I think I'd rather just have the full version.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have yet to meet an Instant Pot owner who says, "meh, it'll do".
DeleteI have family members who swear by it. I've thought about it, but then I think, Peg, you're retired, don't be lazy. But....
ReplyDeleteMy husband sent me a meme that said, I've got a soft heart and a filthy mouth. th. Like a Hallmark card written by Samuel L Jackson. It was so spot on it made me laugh, I couldn't even be mad.
I feel the same about the Instant Pot. I have enough stuff for cooking. But...
