is exactly the same way. But she's much better about it now,

and I report with some pride that she's begun to cuss a bit. This is

something that she never, ever did, even though I swear like a

longshoreman around her and always have. She concedes that it can make

her feel much better to describe somebody as a bitch when it applies,

and she's even allowed that certain things piss her off.

More of that strange praise: " Honey, I'm so glad you've learned to

swear. "
