and so on and so forth

and so on and so forth

And or along with other things of a similar kind; et cetera. I find these parties dreadfully boring. The only thing anyone talks about is how much money they make, how large their vacation homes are, and so on and so forth. I like activities like running, hiking, cycling, and so on and so forth—all kinds of outdoorsy stuff. Nothing much in the mail today, just some bills, advertisements, and so on and so forth.
