Publisher's Corner

Two guys are talking about fishing. One says to the other, “I am NEVER going to take my wife fishing with me, ever again!”

“That bad, huh?”“She did everything wrong! She

talked too much, made the boat rock constantly, baited the hook wrong, used the wrong lures and WORST of all she caught more fish than me!”

Hello everyone! Thanks for picking up the latest issue of Tidbits!

Q: Since the 1970s I have been a collector, and es-pecially interested in Jim Beam bottles. I need to sell my collection and appreciate any help you can give me. -- Peter, Albuquerque, N.M.

A: Jim Beam bottles are difficult to sell, and they don't seem to be as popular with collectors as they were three or four decades ago. One of the better clubs is the Evergreen Jim Beam Club, 509 NE 165th, No. 154, Seattle, WA 98155; www.jimbeamclub.com. For bottle questions, contact Tom at beamclub@aol.com.

• • •Q: I have hundreds of sports cards and thousands

of comic books that originally belonged to my late husband. I want to know what they are all worth. -- Rhonda, Albuquerque, N.M.

A: For comics, I recommend the Comic Book Checklist & Price Guide, which features more than 125,000 comics with current values. This book was compiled by Maggie Thomson, Brent Frankenhoff and Peter Bickford, all comic book experts. It is $19.95 and available through the publisher, www.Krause.com. For sports cards, there are also excellent references, includ-ing The Standard Catalogue of Football Cards (KP Books, 24.99), and The Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards edited by Don Fluckinger (Krause, $39.99).

• It was beloved Ameri-can comedian and film star Groucho Marx who made the following sage observation: “There’s one way to find out if a man is honest -- ask him. If he says ‘Yes,’ you know he is a crook.”

• The ancient Egyptians were known to use crocodile dung as a contraceptive.

• You may be surprised to learn that when the hit 1950s TV show “I Love Lucy” had its premiere, Lucille Ball was already 40 years old.

• Talk about sneaky: In order to get a photo of Bing Crosby in his coffin, The National Enquirer tabloid had a reporter dress as a priest and sneak into the private funeral service. To top it off, on his way out of the service, the disguised journalist told ABC reporter Geraldo Rivera not to pester the family at such a sen-sitive moment.

• Every year, about $500 million is spent on beads for Mardi Gras.

• Ever wonder how the statuette taken home by win-ners of the Academy Awards got its nickname? Evi-dently, in 1931 a secretary at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences saw the statuette for the first time and exclaimed, “Why, he reminds me of my Uncle Oscar!” The comment struck the fancy of a re-porter who was present, and he put it in a story about the awards, and the name stuck.

• Are you acersecomic? If your hair has never been cut, you are.

• If this is an average week, three manmade artifacts hurtling into the atmosphere from space will crash into the Earth.

DEAR PAW'S CORNER: I can't leave my dog "Shadie" alone in the house, so I have to take her with me when I go shopping. How long can I keep her inside my car before it gets too hot? My friend says 20 minutes, if I keep the windows cracked a little. -- Danielle F., Atlanta

DEAR DANIELLE: How about never? A parked car in the summer heat, even with the windows open a bit to let in airflow, can quickly heat up to extreme temperatures. Neither pets nor humans can stand the quick rise in temperature -- so being left in a parked car can prove fatal.

If you're planning to go out for a few minutes to pick up some groceries or handle a quick errand, leave Shadie at home. Your dog should be able to handle a short period without you. If Shadie doesn't handle it well, such as

getting agitated, chewing up furniture or shoes, there are training solutions to solve that problem.

Another solution, if you must bring your dog, is to bring along a trustwor-thy friend who is willing to sit in the car with the dog, with the motor running and the air conditioner on to keep it cool. Your friend will need to monitor Shadie while you shop. But this has its own pitfalls -- I don't know many people willing to wait around while their friend is in the store.

Again, I can't stress enough how important it is to not leave Shadie alone in the car, for even a few minutes. She easily could suffer heat exhaustion or stroke. Instead, invest some time helping to resolve Shadie's separation anxiety so she'll be happy and healthy at home.

• “When painting, write the name and brand of paint under the room’s light switch. If you ever need to go out and buy more, you will know where to start.” -- R.K. in Montana

• “My family has always used mayonnaise as a salve on minor burns. I heard you can use toothpaste too.” -- S.P., via e-mail

• Add these to the list of items to elimi-nate the odor of cooking cabbage: a heel of bread, a whole walnut or a pinch of baking soda.

• To travel with pleated skirts, use this packing trick: Turn the skirt inside out and straighten all the pleats. Then tape

the bottom so that all the pleats are held together. Next, feed the skirt into a leg of pantyhose with the foot cut off. You’ll end up with a nice tube, which you can tuck into the sides of your luggage.

• “When traveling for more than a few days, put your plants in the bathtub with a little bit of water. They’ll soak it up, and you won’t have to have someone come over and water your plants. This will only work for a week or less, though.” -- J.M. in Louisiana

• “I keep grocery lists on my computer. When I am going shopping, I print out the list and fold the paper in half. Then I slip my coupons into the fold. Keeps them handy when I’m shopping.” -- A Reader in Maryland
