Equal Attraction?????
I've long been intrigued by the notion of equal attraction; that is, the theory that if you are attracted to someone, he or she is attracted to you. I know it can't be true 100% of the time, but the fact that so many countless millions of couples end up together, we can't dismiss the idea in its entirety. Many times, I've been surprised to find that women I've had a crush on, actually felt the same way about me. It makes sense in a way. Nature is a very equalizing force. Water finds its own level. If someone likes another, that attraction is felt and if reciprocated, is intensified, and so on and so on.

Sally, not sure if I want to touch that one....especially after the overly descriptive moniker you attached to it.
I have a decidedly unscientific approach. I read my writing out loud. When intonation goes down at the completion of a thought, PERIOD. If I pause, ever so slightly, COMMA. If my intonation goes down but the thought is not yet complete, SEMI-COLON. You see, as a writer and not a linguist or grammarian per se, I have little patience for 'rules' of punctuation. A former professor colleague of mine was insistent on always putting a comma before every and, so, but or because....even if they didn't seem to serve a purpose. I said "[Miss Uppity Pants], why do you need the comma there?" Her response? "Because....because... that's the rule!" I said "Pardon me once again, [Miss U.P.], it's not 1895! You shouldn't be punctuating without knowing why. Following 19th century protocol isn't the ideal method. Just look at a novel from 1850. They put commas after EVERYTHING."
"I think, that I love you." "She knows, you are kind." Why? I don't know. Antiquated rules, I am, you know, guessing; right?
