Report by Renae Leiker (continued):

Personally I believe that if someone really has a mental illness that causes them to do something wrong they will be treated for the problem but not held responsible for those actions when they die. 

When reviewing the mounds of video and audio recordings I heard Joanna curse me a few times.  I was never sure if it was directed at me but this time it was pretty obvious.  When I told her I would get back to her to visit later she said “F*** You”.  When I told Jerry he said they didn’t talk like that back then and they d idn’t use slang as we do today.  I sent a message to Michael who returned this information. 

Etymology: akin to Dutch fokken to breed (cattle), Swedish dialect fokka to copulate Date: 1503

Yet, according to dictionary.com (citing AH4):

Middle English, attested in pseudo-Latin fuccant, (they) fuck, deciphered from gxddbov.] Word History: The obscenity fuck is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, "Flen flyys," from the first words of its opening line, "Flen, flyys, and freris," that is, "fleas, flies, and friars." The line that contains fuck reads "Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk." The Latin words "Non sunt in coeli, quia," mean "they [the friars] are not in heaven, since." The code "gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk" is easily broken by simply substituting the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both u and v; and vv was used for w. This yields "fvccant [a fake Latin form] vvivys of heli." The whole thus reads in translation: "They are not in heaven because they fuck wives of Ely [a town near Cambridge]."

Edwin Perkins re-named the drink Kool-Ade and then Kool-Aid in 1927.


So even though the fuck you is in the time frame the food references definitely are learned 

We found an EVP that says “Muffit”.  Remembering the picture Louann sent I wondered if this was the dog in the picture.  At home when recording I asked if Joanna had a dog named “Muffin”.  She answered “Muffit”.  Guess that is confirmed, Joanna has a small white dog with her.
