I'm guessing we are relatively the same age

I would say I've got about 7 or 8 years on you Miss Katz, but who's counting!

I think this is mostly true, too.... plus I really like this saying.

I think variety is the spice of life and that opposites tend to gravitate toward each other because of their own spice or scent, which seems soooo Intriguing....

....Some things are better left unsaid.....

Most nearly always people presume this statement to have an additional hidden meaning, that you shouldn't verbalize thoughts that could land you in trouble.

And while I agree with the generally accepted meaning behind this phrase, I use the phrase slightly differently:

When I use this phrase it's because I think there are things that truly are better left unsaid. I tend to favor statements that stand on their own with no hidden hurtful meaning!

[Kätzchen]

it's written all over your face

This expression is typically believed to be true, in that most always your inner feelings and emotions with manifest in non-verbal ways....in unmistakable ways.

That's what the study of nonverbal communication is primarily about....the study of nonverbal cues showing up in the environment as Body Language or in other physical forms, such as written text, style of writing, or any other number of 'bread crumbs' left behind in the proverbial 'scene of the crime'.

Bend Over Backwards......................


To exert a lot of effort towards some end. This phrase is often used to express frustration when one's efforts go unrecognized.
