		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m not a Serious Resolutions kind-of gal...but I am trying to clean up my mouth just a little. Listerine ain&#039;t gonna do it, kids. After years of working as a theatrical electrician &quot;with the boys&quot;, I sometimes come off as more of a sailor than I want to (I said &quot;more of&quot;; a girl needs a little bit of pirate in her background, if you ask me!) And now that I work in a holistic health office, it can be a little...awkward.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, I&#039;m all about substitutions these days. I have &quot;Crimniny&quot; and &quot;Jiminy Christmas&quot; (although, that sometimes turns into &quot;Jiminy f#$%^&amp;* Christmas!&quot;- just has such a good, ridiculous ring to it!) But the point is- I mean, why I&#039;m posting this here, Heather- is that I can count on your posts for some really good ones. I particularly like &quot;mother of bob&quot; and &quot;sweet baby J&quot;. Keep &#039;em coming! Otherwise I&#039;m going to sound like a complete dip, uh, stick. If I don&#039;t already. %-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Although, there is still sometimes a good reason for the apt placement of a good curse. As in, &quot;asshat language&quot;. Well-said.)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Speaking of resolutions, mine is to make a budget and stick to it for as long as I can. You seem pretty good at that - can you tell me how you do it? how do you come up with a budget? How do you stick to it? This may seem simple, but I&#039;ve never had to do this before, but i really need to. &lt;/p&gt;</description>
