    If one relies on "Occam's Razor: then it is less complicated. This post was edited by Element 99 at November 25, 2016 2:10 PM MST

    OK m'dear. I have heard of that but I shall look it up because right now I don't have a clue. Hang on for a sec.  Are ya still there ele? This is what the dictionary says

    "the maxim that assumptions used to explain a thing must not be multiplied beyond necessity". OK. What does THAT mean? I don't get it. Would you mind explaining it to me? Thank you for your reply ele! I just learned something new which I don't understand. AARRGGHH! :(

    The simplest explanation/solution is usually the best one.

     Yep. Sometimes it's so frustrating though! Maybe we need to be frustrated to serve some higher purpose. I dunno. Thank you for your reply US and Happy Saturday! :)
