Feb 15, 2009: Kissing

xoxoxoBruce • Feb 15, 2009 12:05 am
In honor of Valentines Day, The Pet Blog has a bunch of pictures of animals kissing.
Now, we know they aren't really kissing as we know it, smelling, tasting, maybe even showing affection, but not kissing.

anthropomorphism (giving animals human characteristics) lets us relate to animals I guess, or lets us pretend they relate to us, but doing so makes for cuter pictures.
Just pretend they are kissing and not whispering, "If we could catch that human with the camera, we'd eat like kings". :unsure:

There's a bit of monkey tongue action happening there

I think those anteaters are working their way thru the Kama Sutra.

Wolf valentines day card.

Antelopes run.
And a wounded deer falls.
I'd rather lick you.
Than lick my own balls.

Look closer, it's a troika.

and then there's that whole regurgitating food into a loved one's mouth that animals do . . . ugh.

That moosette must be really hot. The horny one is having to stand in the water to avoid his balls from overheating.

Those squirrels are doing a remake of From Here to Eternity. They're waiting for the crew to throw a glass of water on them, for effect.

edit: oh heck, Griff's right...there are three of them. Dirty little squirrels. :lol:

Looks like the monkey's thinking about baseball.
If you look closely you'll notice the anteaters are practicing safe sex. Mutual masturbation.

Yeah...he's trying to catch the score on the TV. I guess he's hoping to score twice.:p

I did a first aid course recently, they gave us a tip about how fast to do the compressions when doing CPR. I mean, who the hell could judge 100 bpm when under emergency stress? Simple. Do the CPR in time with the Ah Ah Ah Ahhh part of the Beegee's Stayin Alive.

Ah Ah Ah Ah Stayin Alii-ii-ii-ii-ive ....

I just know that if I ever have to do CPR for real, I am going to start singing that ...

Hmmm........I think they are kissing.........

That reminds me of someone.:D

RE CPR....

I'm glad now you don't have to do the breathe step. That makes it a lot easier. Esp in some of the nastier scenarios.
ZenGum • Feb 16, 2009 10:32 pm
You "should" do the breathe step - but you "should" have a mask. Without a mask, it is "optional" - patient has a better chance if you do, you have a better chance if you don't.

And the current formula is 30 compressions then two effective breaths, up from 15/2 when I last trained five years back, and way off the 5/1 when I first did it.

I don't understand this. How would you breathe into the unconscious person's mouth if you're wearing a mask? And what are you protecting yourself from, herpes?
ZenGum • Feb 16, 2009 11:50 pm
No, no, no. You use a phantom of the opera type mask to conceal your identity, so they cant sue you for feeling them up while pretending to do CPR.

Or, you might use a resuscitation mask which enables you to breathe into the patient's mouth without getting their kooties into your mouth or yours into theirs. The former is especially important if they have oral bleeding (knocked out tooth, eg) or vomiting (gastral backflow common in horizontal unconscious patients).

Hazards include hepatitis and HIV. And herpes, I guess, and colds, flu, glandular fever etc etc. Kooties, generally.

Now there is no need to ventilate. The hands only method has been deemed equally effective.
