Interesting Info On Common Sayings Part 3
(Click on the pictures to see how you can purchase one of your very own.)
Common entertainment included playing cards. However, there was a tax levied when purchasing playing cards but only applicable to the 'Ace of Spades.' To avoid paying the tax, people would purchase 51 cards instead. Yet, since most games require 52 cards, these people were thought to be stupid or dumb because they weren't 'playing with a full deck.'

Helping A Treed Cat
While cats are natural climbers, sometimes they aren’t the best at getting down. Here’s what experts suggest when your cat refuses to come down from his perch for a long time.
-Don’t rally around the tree: Just because your cat is out on a limb doesn’t mean he needs your help. He’d probably prefer you go away and leave him alone rather than begging him to come down. In other words -- give your cat some space.
-Give him time: While it’s not impossible for a cat to be truly stuck in a tree, chances are he just hasn’t gotten around to coming down. Most cats are fully capable of coming down alone. It is recommended giving your cat an entire day to come down on his own. If he’s injured, or has a leash that could cause him to choke, you may have to go after him sooner. The same is true if it’s getting dark. Cats in trees overnight can be attacked by wild animals.
-Tempt his taste buds: Putting some of his favorite food where he can see and smell it may get him down in a hurry.
-Mount a rescue mission: If your cat is really too scared (or injured) to get down on his own, the easiest thing is to get up in the tree and get him. If you can’t climb the tree, you’ll need a ladder.
-Don protection: A treed cat is a scared cat. Wear heavy gloves and a thick jacket to protect yourself.
-Go for the neck: When grabbing a scared cat, it’s best to catch the skin on the back of the neck. Most cats will go limp once you’ve taken hold and lifted them up.
-Make the first effort count: When grabbing for a treed cat, make sure you don’t miss. You may only have one chance to get hold before your cat goes higher, so make your first grab count.
-Call in the cavalry: If your cat has been in the tree for more than a day and you can’t get him down yourself, it’s probably time to call in the pros. Animal rescue services are in the yellow pages or you can call your vet for advice.
*These tips are home remedies only and should not ever be used as a substitute for any treatment that may have been prescribed by your veterinarian. If your pet has a medical problem, we urge you to seek competent medical care.

SHOW AND TELL TUESDAY
This first video is rather long, but I was in awe that someone could get that close, they actually cuddle and hug.
Remember last week the old video with Man Ray the dog and his human, Willima Wegman discussing the spelling of words? Well this is another William Wegman video. Thought it was cute.
And one more cute video that I found during my search:
Hope you enjoyed the videos.

Dear Paw Princess,
I am a cute, lovable guy who knows how to treat a girl. I love to give kisses, snuggle close, and protect the one I love. I am looking for a girl who doesn't mind pet hair on the couch, toilet seats left up and the occasional passing of gas.

Cooper
We hope you find your perfect match soon. She's out there somewhere.

Story Time: Continued from last week
*****************************************************
The clouds started to rain drops of blue kool-aid. The littlest wienie tasted a drop on the end of his nose. That is very good he thought. He started to jump up and catch the rain drops as they fell.
Bree and Baxter thought this was not good because the little wienie was getting too much sugar. He was jumping higher and higher. He then started to sing and dance and spin around in circles. He was having a major sugar high!
The two children Baxter and Bree knew they had a problem now. How are they going to get passed The Giant Squirrel's mind control with a hyper little wienie dog.
The two children tried their best to catch the littlest wienie, but the wienie was too fast for them. He ran deeper into the dark forest singing all the way.
The wienie dog crashed into a large tree and then started to roll around in the grass on the ground. He was still rolling and twitching and twisting around when the two children caught up with him.
The littlest wienie finally crashed from exhaustion with his tongue hanging out. He was panting and shaking.
The children went over to comfort the little wienie when they noticed that the tree he crashed into wasn't a tree after all. It was...
"Squirrel!" barked the littlest wienie dog.
The children were already frozen from the Giant Squirrel's mind control.
"They are my slaves now little wienie dog and soon I will rule the world!" Evil squirrel chattering.
"No way evil squirrel mastermind. Us wienie dogs will never let you rule the world." Bark bark bark growl....
Just as the epic battle for world domination was about to begin, along came the blue fairy.

Help Control Bleeding from Wounds
I talked week before last about treatment of wounds. To follow up with that topic, here are tips on how to stop your pet from bleeding and to keep small wounds from getting serious:
-Press on the wound: With any wound the first thing to do is stop the bleeding. Using a handkerchief, towel or a piece of a clean cloth, apply firm pressure directly over a wound. In a pinch, press down with your thumb or the palm of your hand.
-Turn down the pressure: When bleeding is serious, applying pressure directly to the artery (not the wound) can help slow it. Dogs and cats have three major pressure points:
1) The upper inside of the front legs: pressing here will help control bleeding from the lower forelegs.
2) The upper inside of the rear legs: pressing here will help control bleeding from the lower hind legs.
3) The underside of the tail: pressing here helps control bleeding from the tail.
-Forget the tourniquet: A lot of limbs are lost because the blood supply was cut off for too long a time.
-Layer up: If bleeding doesn’t stop right away, you may want to tie a bandage loosely around the wound to help slow the flow. If the bandage quickly soaks through, however, just leave it there. You don’t want to destroy a clot that’s trying to form. If the bleeding continues, it’s a sign you need to see your vet.
Some of the worst injuries are internal. Your pet could be losing pints of blood and you might never know it. Symptoms of internal bleeding include blood in vomit, pale pink or white gums and listlessness. Don’t take chances. If you think an injury is serious, it probably is -- and you should see your vet right away.
*These tips are home remedies only and should not ever be used as a substitute for any treatment that may have been prescribed by your veterinarian. If your pet has a medical problem, we urge you to seek competent medical care.

Story Time: You Add To It, Please.
Once upon a time there were three stuffed wienie dogs that more than anything wanted to be real dogs. The children loved and played with them so much every day that it wasn't long before they started to show signs of damage.
They knew like toys in the past that if they lost their stuffings the children's Mother would throw them out. This worried the three wienies greatly each and every time the children played with them a little too roughly.
One day, the children had their grandmother visit. She brought them all new stuffed animals that actually barked and made other noises. The three dogs were so lonely for quite some time.
Then, one day the Chi Wizard saw how lonely they were. " I shall grant you one wish!" said the Chi Wizard, but it has to be one wish that all three of you have in your hearts.
The wienies wished all together that they were real dogs. The Chi Wizard's eyes began to glow, and suddenly they were in the woods.
They looked at each other and they were real wiener dogs. They barked and chased each other for quite some time. They started to feel something that they have never felt before in the tummies. They were hungry. The dogs didn't know what to eat or how to catch something to eat so they kept walking deeper and deeper into the woods.
Just as the trees began to clear, they smelled a house like no other. It smelt sweet and yummy. They ran as fast as their short legs would let them. The house was made out of Gingerbread. The littlest wiener knew they probably shouldn't eat someone's house, but the bigger wienies convinced him to eat. Next thing you know, they all had very full bellies.
The biggest wienie who had ate the most of the house started to feel strange. His legs wouldn't move and he started to smell like gingerbread. Before his eyes, the littlest wienie saw the two other wienies turn to gingerbread. Then, he decided to run. But, he didn't waddle very far before he also was a gingerbread wienie.
Much time had passed, and frosting snow had began to fall all around them. A small boy and his sister had stumbled upon the house while making their way to the market to buy some milk. The two children knew fairytales rather well so they knew not to eat the house. But, the little girl saw a tear fall from the littlest gingerbread wienie. "They need our help, Baxter." She said as she wiped the tear away.

TUESDAY LAUGHS
For those of us who remember Abbot & Costello's 'Who's on First?', and those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers...
If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:
COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.

ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue'W'.
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue 'w' if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
(A few days later)
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on 'START'……….
And here are 2 videos I thought were cute, regarding computers:

Story Time: You Add To It.
Once upon a time, there were three bears that lived in a national park. These three bears were rather troublesome bears, but smarter than most folks gave them credit. They spent most of their days looking for pranks to play on the park visitors and most of their nights looking for food or even a refreshing soft drink once in awhile. Some times they would go speed dating with the cub scouts, but not very often.
One day, the eldest brown bear named "Montana" got the idea to go skinny dipping in one of the favorite park visitors' swimming holes. When one of the tourists from Japan got a picture with a cell phone of his bear behind, and she quickly posted all it over twitter and Facebook. It went viral in 15 minutes time.
His two bros Black-eye and Rebel started to tease him about mooning the world. This made Montana very grumpy since he got woken up early from hibernation cause one of his two bros decided to TP the den with real used toilet paper from the parks out houses. It got pretty smelly in there by the end of February.
Anyways, Montana was going to teach this Japanese tourist a lesson even if it did cause an international incident. Cause she just crossed the wrong bear today.
Montana jogged over to the van and as the young lady was just getting in to the passenger seat. He stuck his head in the open window and burped a big foul smelling fish breath belch right in her face.
She screamed and the van drove off. Montana was proud of himself for teaching her a lesson until the news crews started to show up.
Apparently, no one could translate Japanese very well cause all they could understand from her was big bear attacked me. There were hundreds on news crews and animal behaviorist documentary film stars all gathered around the spot were Montana had belched. Montana tried to hide in the swimming hole, but it was doing no good.
They put up a temporary bear proof fence around the hole, and the media was all waiting until the experts could be called in to decide how to handle this vicious bear.
Then, out of a fancy jeep stepped "The Bearinator". All the bears grew up seeing reruns of this guy trying to talk to the bears. He was supposedly some kind of bear whisper, but all the bears joked that his mama must of ate the fermented fruit before he was born, cause he don't know nothing about us bears.
The Bearinator stepped toward the fence and crouched down on one knee. He watched the bears, and the bears watched him. This continued for some time until he nodded for someone to open a corner of the temporary fencing. He stepped inside the fence and sat on the ground right by the opening.
Montana started to laugh. He couldn't help it. He could kill this bear expert with one swipe of his paw and this guy was just sitting there.
Montana turned to fetch a bag of potato chips to enjoy this show of what his bros will do to this guy, when the crowd all oooed like the Bearinator just did something totally awesome.
Montana was starting to think humans were either incredibly stupid or all of them were suffering heat stroke because they couldn't get to the swimming hole.
Montana reached for the bag of potato chips, and the Bearinator walking on all fours moved a little closer to the water.
Then, suddenly, there was a loud bang from behind Montana, and everything went crazy.
