Members Lucky Posted August 15, 2019 Members Share Posted August 15, 2019 MsGuy was one of our regular posters. He had a great sense of humor. I'd love to state those facts in the present tense, but he hasn't signed on in almost three months! MsGuy, come back! All is forgiven! Anyone hear from him lately?

Members kjun12 Posted August 16, 2019 Members Share Posted August 16, 2019 For what does he need forgiveness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted September 3, 2019 Author Members Share Posted September 3, 2019 kjun, thanks for the inquiry. The answer, of course, is nothing! Saying "all is forgiven" when trying to entice someone is fairly common*, almost cliche. I used it carelessly I guess. But, the thread has received little response. That surprised me. * https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/come-back-attila-all-is-forgiven.3393735/ AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mvan1 Posted September 7, 2019 Members Share Posted September 7, 2019 Nothing is certain but death and taxes The phrase nothing is certain but death and taxes means that everything in life is uncertain. The only things that you can be sure of are: 1. You will die. 2. You will have to pay taxes. This saying comes from the letters of Benjamin Franklin where he stated: Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy, 1789 AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
