Anatbs  +  481926 Tue, 26 Feb 08 05:17 PM Does anyone know a synonym for the phrase "living life to its fullest" or something that conveys the idea of evaluating every minute by living it? if you know of any good web-sites helping in understanding or finding idioms, metaphors or other phrases, I'd appreciate if you told me.

But they're not idioms. ** To utilize those websites, I think you should know at least one core word of the phrases or idioms, which can be a problem, sometimes.
