How many of us have heard this relished quote "like two peas in a pod"? Been around a long time and probably will continue to be. It has been applied to people, places, and things for a long time. It carries with it a variance of meanings, from being critical to being highly proclaimed. For example:

a. When we were children, and in our children, and in their children we say "like two peas in a pod". We say it when they are cute, in trouble, in life itself.

Rusty and broken she lay beside the fence within the wrecking yard. Just an old fender from an old Ford. Rusty and broken she was now abandoned and left to decay as the years rolled by. No body wanted her any more. No body noticed her any more. Just an old rusty and broken portion of a vehicle that had been gone for years. The wrecking yards are full of the rusty and broken. Once prized by their owners, once polished and shined by their owners, once tenderly cared for by their owners. When their… Continue
