Self-performed C P R

Because we care for you!!!

1 Let’s say it’s 7:25 pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2 You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4 Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.

5 You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6 HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE?

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

7 However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

8 Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

9 Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!

10 A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail, kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.

I’ll just bet they had a ball.

A German Retirement Community did a calendar where seniors amazingly recreated famous movie scenes. The Comitia Retirement Group in Essen, Germany, made what is probably the best calendar ever with a few of their seniors.

According to German press, 5000 calendars were printed. And they were given out to residents of the Senior Centre, along with relatives and staff.

The calendar models were interviewed about the project and said it was a ton of fun to dress up as their favourite actors.

The shoot was done with professional stylists and photographers to make sure everything looked as cool as possible.

The oldest senior involved with the calendar was 98 years!

Subject: Another Death of someone we know

Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment

community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of
celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth,
Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies,
and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as
a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Born and bread in Minnesota,
Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with
turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his
dough on half-baked schemes.

Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man
and was considered a positive roll model for millions. Doughboy is survived
by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey
Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly
father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

If you smiled while reading this, please rise to the occasion and
pass it on to someone having a crumby day and kneading a lift.

Great stories. Thanks BA

These are amazing photos of some of my favorite movie stars! So glad they are still with us and so active. W

LOOK AT THESE CELEBRITIES KICKIN’ UP THEIR HEELS IN THEIR 90’S

Betty White When it comes to stars over 90, Betty White is probably the most visible example. As a matter of fact, her career is just as strong in her 90s as it was when she was In her 30s. Until 2015, she starred in the sitcom ‘Hot in Cleveland.’ She is also heavily involved in charity work for animals.

Hal Holbrook Emmy Award-winning actor Hal Holbrook turned 90 in 2015, but he is still quite active in film, television, and theater. He had a recurring role in the hit show ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ and he co-starred in the 2015 film ‘Go with Me.’

Eva Marie Saint Most people know Eva Marie Saint from films like ‘On the Waterfront,’ a movie for which she won an Academy Award in 1954, but today’s audiences know her for different bodies of work. The actress, who turned 91 in 2015, voiced Katara for the Nickelodeon cartoon ‘The Legend of Korra’ through 2014. She also co-starred in ‘Winter’s Tale.’

Stan Lee The legendary Stan Lee is most known for creating comic book legends like Spider-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man, and the Fantastic Four, but he is also a director, actor, producer, editor, publisher, and much more. Despite turning 92 in 2015, he is still going strong, making countless appearances in movies and TV shows.

Kirk Douglas Kirk Douglas does not do too much acting anymore, after a stroke left him unable to speak properly, but that does not mean he is sitting at home doing nothing. He has been writing for Huffington Post since 2012. He turned 98 in 2014 and is believed to be the oldest blogger ever.

Doris Day Doris Day was an icon during the 1950s and 1960s, both as an actress and singer. She does not do too much performing anymore, but as of 2015, she is 93 and still going strong. Day is heavily involved in animal rescue and has a number of pets herself. She also owns a hotel in California and is an ordained minister.

Carl Reiner Carl Reiner may have turned 93 in 2015, but his resume is just as full now as it was when he was in his prime. The actor, director, writer, producer, and comedian does voice over work and makes numerous television and film appearances. Some of his most recent credits as of 2015 include ‘Hot in Cleveland,’ ‘American Dad,’ and ‘Two and a Half Men.’

Honor Blackman Honor Blackman achieved fame in the 1960s for her role in the James Bond film ‘Goldfinger ‘ and the TV series ‘The Avengers.’ Despite turning 90 in 2015, she has not stopped acting. In 2015, she appeared on the British sitcom ‘You, Me & Them.’ She also remains outspoken about political issues.

Olivia de Havilland Most people know Olivia de Havilland as Melanie from the movie ‘Gone with the Wind.’ As of 2015, she is the only surviving cast member. She turned 99 in 2015 and while she does not act anymore, she still gives interviews, and in 2015, she received a special honor at the Cannes Film Festival.

George Kennedy Academy Award winner George Kennedy turned 90 in 2015. Even so, he is still a pilot, has adopted his granddaughter, and makes the occasional TV and film appearance, like his role in 2014’s ‘The Gambler.’ Most people probably know him from his roles in ’Dallas,’ ‘Cool Hand Luke,’ and the ‘Naked Gun’ series.

Angela Lansbury It may be hard to believe, but Angela Lansbury turned 90 in 2015. Most people probably know her from ‘Murder She Wrote,’ but Lansbury’s career has lasted for over seven decades. Most recently, she has appeared mostly in theater, winning an Olivier Award for her 2014 appearance in the play ‘Blithe Spirit.’

Those Germans are pretty crafty.

Have

you ever tried backing up while towing a trailer? Do you think you’re

really good at that? If so, this is for you!

Volkswagen Trailer Assist http://www.chonday.com This is how you reverse with a trailer. In this video from Norway you will see a driver backing up his car and trailer at high speed – through parking lots, roundabouts and intersections. Or is he really? This was created to promote Volkswagen’s trailer parking system.
