"Summer is the
annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for
something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and
study the clouds." — Regina Brett |

Phrases used by Old-er People that younger people might not
understand
“Bite the Bullet”
To bite
the bullet means to face up to something difficult or unpleasant. The phrase is
said to originate from the old practice of patients biting a bullet during
surgery to cope with pain. It’s used to encourage people to muster up the
courage to tackle challenges head-on.
False Facts about religions
The Torah Is the
Only Jewish Scripture 156/Shutterstock
Although the Torah is the most prominent of the religious texts in
Judaism, it’s only one of the three books of the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible). In
all, the Jews have the Laws (Torah), the Prophets (Nevi’im), and the Writings
(Ketuvim). Other texts, like the Talmud and Midrash, also shape Jewish
traditional literature and values.
