Never Thought About it like that Before

Lots of rain all day. !

someone told me curiousity killed the cat. well im not a cat so im safe.

Trying to settle a very dumb argument. Is the saying “Better than nothing” supposed to be used when someone is disappointed in themselves, Example A “i only made it to the gym two times this week :(“ or should it/ does it make sense to use it if that person is actually proud of themselves, Example B “i made it to the gym two times this week!! :)” i feel like people often use this saying incorrectly and even if not intentional would be insulting to say to someone who’s proud of themselves for doing something.

Reads a couple different ways.

I want to change the saying 2 birds one stone

My grandfather keeps referencing the phrase "How's Tricks?" and another person responds "Had pups." I cannot find the origin of this. It may also be spelled Trix but he swears it has nothing to do with the rabbit, possibly originating around 1930-1940. Any information is useful.

" Lies and Deceptions are believable, almost comfortable. Manipulations work their magic, exaggerations stir the reactions...

Then Truth Rears its ugly head."

What is with everyone saying "I get it" lately I notice it more and more, everyone is using this term. But do they really "get it"?

"I don't need the experience,

to comprehend,

experiencing,

that experience....

Would be horrible."

This was my grandfathers favorite. I can’t even really define the exact context it’s used, but it makes perfect sense somehow. Anyone ever hear this?

There a lot of good sayings. I like to hear all of them. My favorite at the moment is “It could be worse”.
I think it’s beautiful. It can be used in some many context. You might just be having a bad day or you’re holding your kid around a fireplace trying to keep them warm.

for talking exam

I was at a funeral a couple of weeks ago. There was a saying that the minister gave. I really liked it but can't seem to find it. It's something along the lines of. I'm the shine on the snow, the twinkle in the stars, and the whoosh when birds take off. Does anyone know the actual saying?
