As with many slang and idiomatic phrases, the origin can be a bit unclear. The first recorded use of the phrase cut the mustard was by O. Henry in 1907, in a story called The Heart of the West: “I looked around and found a proposition that exactly cut the mustard”. The modern sense of the idiom is ‘to succeed; to have the ability to do something; to come up to expectations’, but the phrase is most often used in the negative form, as “can’t cut the mustard,” meaning ‘not able to handle the job’. The cut probably refers to harvesting the plant, so if one cannot cut the mustard, one cannot supply what is best. A phrase preceding cut the mustard is to be the mustard (c. 1903) meaning ‘to be special’ or ‘to be exactly what is needed’ with mustard being a slang term for importance. There is also another phrase keen as mustard meaning ‘very enthusiastic’.

It is difficult to experience incontinence. But the good news you can do something about it and cure it. Make it a habit to visit the toilet every now and then. Try to be sensitive to your urination. Drink plenty of liquids since highly concentrated urine is more irritating to the bladder and could cause even more incontinence. And, if you are out don’t forget to pack yourself with adult diaper for occasional leaks. It’s better to be ready than get the shame of a lifetime.

• Within one minute of starting to smoke, the heart rate begins to rise and it can increase by as much as 30 percent during the first 10 minutes.
• Smoking raises blood pressure as blood vessels constrict, forcing the heart to work harder to deliver oxygen to the rest of the body.
• Carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke actually suffocates the heart by reducing blood’s ability to carry oxygen.
• Smoking causes 24 percent of deaths from heart disease. Its effects can have a cumulative effect on the heart, which can increase the risk of heart attack in a smoker under 50 by 10 times.
• Even if you are not a smoker, it’s best to stay out of smoking areas. It has been recently proven that inhaling second-hand tobacco smoke for just 30 minutes is enough to cause temporary damage to your heart.

Yesterday, after going to church my partner and I went to the mall just to watch movies. However, since we were way too early for the movie time. We decided to stroll around. My partner was like pulled by magnets to the slippers shop. It was not part of our plan. But, I let him bought it as he really beg me. So I have no choice but to pay it. It’s his money anyway, I am just the keeper.
