August 15, 20197 yr Active Members 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?
September 3, 20197 yr Author Active Members 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/

September 7, 20197 yr Active Members 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
