Do Old Sayings Still Mean What They Say? One of my grandmother's favorite sayings was don't borrow trouble. A rain cancellation, a bad medical report, an unwelcome guest – she didn't believe in worrying about something that might not happen. According to Grandmother, when you borrow trouble, it's hard to return. As a child, I not only borrowed trouble, I used it to make mountains out of mole hills. Rain on the day of my school picnic, a "B" on an exam I thought I'd aced, a pimple on prom night; but life changes perspective and mountains get smaller – with one exception. Politicians continue to make mountains out of Capitol Hill. Politicians, however, aren’t the only ones who bite off more than they can chew. Projects, PTA functions, parties – we've all struggled taking on more than we can handle. Nevertheless, I'm glad some people did. If pilgrims, pioneers and most politicians didn't bite off more than they could chew, we'd have too much on our plates. If you don't have an apple a day on your plate1313362609
