2022-11-16 08:52:33 Dr. Seuss
On March 2, 1904, Theodore Seuss Gisel was born. Does that name sound familiar? Later in life he was known as Dr. Seuss, even though he was not a doctor. Many people felt that his books were like medicine. Dr. Seuss was a famous children’s book author who wrote many books. These beloved books have been read by millions of children. You’ve probably read many of his books, as well.
Do you remember reading a story about green eggs and ham? How about a book about Horton who hatched an egg? These books capture the rhyming sounds of words and letters. Often, Dr. Seuss would make up words to go in his books. His books are also filled with creative and interesting creatures.
Many of these creatures have been made up, but they seem real!
In the 1950s, there was a concern that children were not reading books because they found books boring. A publisher sent Dr. Seuss a list of important words for young readers. He wanted him to write a book that was fun and entertaining using these words. That was how The Cat in the Hat was born.
Dr. Seuss went on to write many books that were both fun to read and entertaining. He was a creative author who made an impact on millions of readers.

2022-11-15 07:16:10 Feel buried alive
This city is uptight
Suffocated and lonely in the crowd
I'm surrounded by
All the screens of their life
Screaming in to space to draw them out
I felt out so low
Felt nowhere to go
But I know you wait for me
You wait for me
So far out of sight
Straight into the white
But I know you wait for me
I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
'Cause I've been hypnotized by the lights
But I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
Yeah, it's taken time to realize
But I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
So hold me tight
I just wanna fade out
Somewhere we can shipped the world away
I'm ready to hide
Far from the fool out
They won't find us in the paradise we'll make
I felt out so low
Felt nowhere to go
But I know you wait for me
You wait for me
So far out of sight
Straight into the white
But I know you wait for me
I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
'Cause I've been hypnotized by the lights
But I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
Yeah, it's taken time to realize
But I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
Free falling from the high
I'm following the voice I know
Free falling from the high
I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
'Cause I've been hypnotized by the lights
But I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
Yeah, it's taken time to realize
But I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight
I'm coming home
I'm coming back down tonight

2022-11-12 09:05:35 How long do you think it’s healthy to sleep?

It kind of depends on which age you are. For elderly people, approximately 4-5 hours will suffice as they don’t have to exert too much physically during the day. For younger people, 8 hours of sleep would recharge their batteries for the next working day.

2022-11-12 09:05:17 Recharge one's batteries (idiom)

Meaning: to rest and relax in order to regain energy and strength.

Examples:

We took a nap after work to recharge our batteries before going out dancing

Every year we go to San Diego and just lie on the beach to recharge our batteries.

My secretary looked so exhausted this week that I told her to stay home Friday and recharge her batteries.

I planned to recharge my batteries at home last week but my kids got the flu and I got even less sleep than normal.

If you don't take some time to recharge your batteries you're going to feel exhausted and then you'll start hating your job.


If you don't have the time or money to go on a holiday, an hour massage or yoga class can help recharge your batteries a bit.

I'm so exhausted that if I don't recharge my batteries very soon, I'm going to get sick.
