On Swearing

It was 1982, and I was sitting in the lounge chatting with my in-laws when I used the fatal word in conversation. Yes, I said “bum.” My new Mother-in-Law, looking very shocked, informed me that swearing was not permitted in their house and the polite word, the word they preferred, was “arse.”To me the word “bum” was harmless and quite funny, whereas the A-word, as I referred to it then, was forbid Read more of this blog post »

Jan’s Quotes

“I often wonder who will be the last person to see me alive. If I had to bet, I'd bet on the delivery boy from the Chinese take-out. I order in four nights out of seven. Whenever he comes I make a big production of finding my wallet. He stands in the door holding a greasy bag while I wonder if this is the night I'll finish off my spring roll, climb into bed, and have a heart attack.”
― Nicole Krauss, The History of Love
