    I'm sure I have said something with an equivalent underlying meaning.  How many times have we heard people simply say, "It's a free country."  That pretty much sends the same message.

    I don't think so. 

    I prefer "because I felt like it".

    That reminds me of my mom asking why I did something that was wrong.  I always wanted to say, "Because I felt like it," but didn't have the nerve.

    Did you receive my chat message? I'm just trying to see if it works.

    I didn't.  Right now, it's showing that Jane S. is the only one on Chat.

    No, I have never said that.
