Jacqui.c:

I like your definition of "Been there. Done that" much better than mine.

You said that Been there. Done that was "something I've experienced and wouldn't want to go through again"..

Thanks for that definition.

Number 6, I smiled when I read your post.

Sometimes I do step away from the computer and from Mudcat and actually experience the 'real' world.

But reading the particular Mudcat threads that I select and posting on some of them is a rest & relaxation mental experience for me.
I admit that I don't have that depth and level of mental exchange in my real world. Those who do I congratulate you for you are truly blessed.


And, number 6-if you know anything about astrology and specifically about the sign 'Virgo' [which is my astrological Ascendant sign] you will understand that I was acting out of that energy when I prepared to write my introductory post for this thread. As is suggested in the instructions for those starting new threads, I entered the title 'Been There. Done That' into the Lyrics & Knowledge Search feature to research whether there had been any other Mudcat threads with that name. That's how I came across those quotes that I used. And that is how I found out the number of times that saying had been used in Mudcat posts. Until I read those archives, I had forgotten that I had used "Been there. Done that" in Mudcat posts before.

And Guest, Lucy Wrangler. I agree that the saying 'Been there. Done that'is a rather overused. But I don't cringe when I hear it like I used to do when I heard "It takes a village to raise a child".
First the Children's Defense Fund borrowed that saying from some unnamed African ethnic group. Then the politicians and mass media took hold of it and use it over and over and over again..Yep. And even I have said "It takes a village to raise a child". Been there. Done that.

Anyway, number 6-I promise I will do non-Mudcat things today.

Well, maybe!

LOL!!
