From the Merriman-Webster dictionary:
Devlynism (noun) A phrase written by Devlyn and destined for greatness.
It would have been a short topic, so anyone is free to post anything! Hugs, Devlyn

I've always been straight to the point, a lot of people including my wife have said they admire that trait. I often pop in with the salient points while they're still typing; saying in a short paragraph what they have been typing all along. Which leads to our next Devlynism:
"If I can't say it in twenty five words or less, I can't say it."

You just channel what comes from inside. And, like the Earth itself, most of it is precious, and very beautiful. <3 No wonder you are a rockhound. Kindred spirits. :)

- I definitely know something about something.
- Live Long and Prosper and 42 and that's just me in the corner.
- I know something about nothing
- I know nothing about something
- Be who you want to be
- The more I know the less I know

The letter "E" is the most commonly used letter in the English alphabet.
Without the letter "E" you can spell "anything" or you can spell "nothing".
But you can't spell "everything".
