Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus Christ, took on the responsibility of raising Jesus as God instructed. Joseph gave up his home in order to protect his family and was able to make a new home wherever they went. For this reason, St. Joseph believers pray to him to help them find a new home or sell the home they have. It is believed that burying a statue of St. Joseph upside down in the ground will help your home sell faster.

"Put a summer watermelon in your stomach" حط في بطنك بطيخة صيفي Rough translation: ‘He’s got a summer watermelon lodged in his stomach.’ Is that co-worker of yours awfully calm amidst chaos? That driver in front of you simply cannot be bothered to pick up the pace? Well, you could say they have a ‘summer watermelon’ blissfully filling up their stomach. Often used to denote nonchalance and a lack of care, the origin behind this particular saying is fairly straightforward. Watermelon is filled with vitamin B6 and other essential nutrients that help relieve muscle ache and stress, so the connection makes a lot of sense.

Shopping malls across the county are dying fast, and my images of them are very nostalgic for most people that grew up attending these malls. These malls were communal spaces. These were gigantic chat rooms before the Internet existed. You went to the mall to meet and communicate with others, not just to shop.
