Lies You’ve Been Told Fiction That Holds Too Much Weight

Fallacies are fed to us on a daily basis, and some are more believable than others. Here are a few popular misconceptions. CRACKING YOUR KNUCKLES WILL CAUSE ARTHRITIS Studies show that there aren’t any dangers to cracking your knuckles, besides annoying someone with the noise. For a long time, many speculated that the cause of the cracking or popping noise was either the resetting of joints and tendons or the formation of fluid that lubricates the joints. Dr. Donald Unger was the first person to conduct an experiment with the hypothesis that cracking your knuckles doesn’t lead to arthritis. He cracked only the knuckles in his left hand for over 50 years. Later in life, both hands were arthritis-free. YOU EAT SPIDERS WHILE YOU SLEEP You may have heard this chilling myth before, but it’s simply not true. Spiders are very sensitive to vibrations — they won’t willingly approach a breathing

YOU USE ONLY 10 PERCENT OF YOUR BRAIN Your brain is constantly in use. Every single action you perform, including digestion, coughing, speaking, thinking, and breathing, are all carried out by processes in the brain.

Employee Spotlight Cherese Handy

When she does have time to herself, she enjoys practicing taekwondo. “Before I started law school I went to classes regularly, but once I was in law school, I couldn’t work, study, and practice taekwondo all at once. I had to take a break from it.” Now that she’s finished with school, Cherese has returned to her favorite exercise once again, eager to get back to where she was several years ago. “I find it very therapeutic,” she says. “You exercise your mentality. You really have to focus on your forms and remember them all, while focusing on your target. It’s also a physical exercise because you have to jump, kick, and, of course, keep your form.”

For our first edition, Eversole Law Firm decided to include an employee spotlight for one of our very talented attorneys, Cherese Handy. Cherese has been with our firm since November of last year, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her on our team. For 18 years before she began working with our firm, she did

title abstracts for her title company, Heritage Title Abstracting, which she continues to operate today. While abstracting titles full time, Cherese went to law school part time. Immediately after she finished law school, she passed the South Carolina Bar exam. She was sworn in as an attorney with the South Carolina Bar and joined Eversole Law Firm.
