She Thinks Her Kids Are All Swell-o-matic
For the past few days, I have had an overwhelming urge to say "swell-o-matic." Why is this? There is an episode of Rugrats that attempts to teach kids not to use bad words. Anyway, the word of the week is supposed to be "swell-o-matic," but Angelica overhears a bad word and thinks that's the word of the week instead. I haven't seen the Rugrats in forever, and I'm not really sure why this particular episode is looping through my head, but it isn't very swell-o-matic.
I know I'm usually pretty irreverent and silly on here, but tonight I'm finding it a bit hard. I won't bore you with the details, but there is something in my life that is driving me absolutely nuts right now. And it's something that I can't really change, although I am doing what I can to make it better. I always come out OK in the end, I have faith in this. I guess I'm just having an off day today...But do stay tuned, I'll bounce back. Y'all stay swell-o-matic, I know I'm trying.
Look beyond what you see...

Never saw that episode. For a cartoon that covered swearing, SpongeBob had a good one. SpongeBob sees some grafitti with a word he doesn't know. His buddy Patrick says it's one of those spicy words adults use in conversation. Every time they use the word, a dolphin noise is heard. Eventually they learn not to say it along with a dozen others.
Sorry, I shouldn't have rambled on about a cartoon. I will pray for you to get through whatever it is that's driving you nuts.
I wonder what swear word sounds like swell-o-matic?
Thanks, aAmigo, for praying for me, I really appreciate that. And I don't mind you rambling about the cartoon- it made me laugh. I like SpongeBob too! As for what sounds like swell-o-matic, I don't know, they did the car horn/scream/noise kind of thing on the Rugrats episode too. Thanks for cheering me up a bit!
You're definately swell-o-matic. I;m sorry you're having a bad day, hopefully whatvere it is botherin you, you'll start feeling better soon! Keep your chin up :) xx

Happy Chinese New Year to you!
I saw your photo up in blog world. Glad you put it up today, it looks great. It would be nice on your home page too.
See I enjoyed when south park did their learning not to swear episode. Showing how taboo swearing is. And I am evil, so that helped a little. Now Nettie, I would tell you things to bring you up but people like me like people that are sorrier than them.
Swell-O-Matic? That sounds like something The Simpson's Ned Flanders would say.
It does have a nice ring to it.
Thanks, all of y'all, for your inane comments. It's what I kinda needed.
