Re: Things people say
"You made your bed, now you have to lie in it"... Wouldn't it make more sense the other way around? Why would I want to lie in a bed that I JUST made?

Don't know if this is true but at least it makes more sense when understood this way...
the saying comes from a time when beds were made on a yearly basis. If you stuffed your mattress with low quality stuffing like grass you would sleep quite comfortably for a week or so but the grasses would soon break down and you would be lying on a very poor bed.
