  • "I know exactly what you mean!!"  They are almost as annoying as STATEMENTS that end with WHY?

    Very little stands alone, 'most everything it caused by something else. X depends on Y. If Y doesn’t happen, neither does X.

    So my friend NO MAN IS AN ISLAND ENTIRE OF  ITSELF. Right? We are all connected and rely on one another. Wish those who brag about being self-made successes who did it all on their own all alone would realize how absurd an idea that is. Thank you for your reply Sbf. You probably know that poem..John Donne being the author. Part of it is "do not send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee". Much truer today than anyone would like to admit. :(
