No need to share them with anyone but a professional.
I don't think the original expression had anything to do with the Trojan horse.
I believe the original relates to the fact that one of the ways you check the health and condition of a horse is to check its teeth. But if someone is giving you a horse as a gift, it's rude to check the teeth as it implies you think they've sold you a lemon.
So it just means 'be grateful for what you're given'. So I think the Troy parallel is just a coincidence.
I could be talking absolute rubbish though.
You know when a friend's loved one dies and you tell them the usual sentiments about being there for them, anything you need etc? But there's rarely anything you can do, especially if you're not in their immediate circles where you could be making food or helping with estate etc.
Friend needed to do some job applications quite urgently, but was obviously not in the right headspace to do a great job. Friend asked me to help review drafts (I write for a living) and between us we got out 3 very solid applications.
I'm proud my skills had real and immediate use to someone. This white collar shit can feel pretty ineffectual sometimes, but this was a tangible help to someone so I'm proud of myself.
Ah you got me. He's the full size though, the newer ones are smaller.
All g. I'm on Sync too - you probably just accidentally swiped into a different post
Thanks for the inspiration. I'm buying some googly eyes.
Not that I saw when I worked there. My impacted wisdoms only became an issue in my 30s though, so who knows?!
No mate, I'm trying to tell you that you've posted in the wrong thread. No one has a clue what you're talking about
I'll be following!
This was really informative, thanks!
