Swearing, Pt. 1

So. Swearing.  It's weird.
I'm going to do a few posts about swearing, but not actually say any swear words, cause, ya know.
So. Part one.
The Big Idea/Question: Why are the words that are swear words swear words?
I mean, think about it.  Why not sandwich?  Why isn't sandwich a bad word?
For that matter, why are any words what they are? I know they have Greek and Latin roots and all, but how did they decide which words were which way back like 3,000 years ago?
Hm....

Hey!

So hello everyone.  Sorry I haven't posted.
Anyway.
I am taking a babysitting class.  Yesterday we learned CPR, the Heimlich, and I don't know what they're called, but the shock pads that you put on someone's chest if their heart stops.
So now, I can perform CPR with compressions on everyone ages birth to, like, elderly, with and without masks, (if you don't want to put your mouth on someone's mouth) I can do the Heimlich Maneuver on regular sized people and, ahem, LARGE people, and I know what do do if you're using the shock pad thingies and the person you're using them on has a hairy chest.

EEEK!

No Laughing Matter

They say laughter is the best medicine, but apparently, too much of it can kill you. Alex Mitchell of England learned this the hard way after laughing nonstop for 25 minutes during a comedy show called “The Goodies.” He died of heart failure from the lack of oxygen.
I don't want this to happen to me...

:(

I might be moving...:(  Not far away or everything, just to another house.  But I HATE IT.  It is a HORRID house. And I hate it.
