I have determined that while some people enjoy using etc. in order to avoid completing a thought, I really like using the phrase "and that's all I have to say about that" to accomplish much the same sense of finality while implying that there could be more if only I so cared to divulge it. But etc. is truly a much more efficient way to be mentally lazy.
And...I am not so insanely stressed as I was yesterday and this morning. Hooray for the weekend coming up. Concert tonight with my Sarah twin. Read her blog. It's clever.
"And that's all I have to say about that" works better to sum up whole discourses. Etc. doesn't break the flow, it just kinda slips in there unnoticed. It also serves a valuable list-delimiting function that ATAIHTSAT does not.
