image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a
desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by
painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be
painted. Arms and legs are "limbs;" therefore, painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence,
the expression, "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg."
always kept their hair covered while men shaved their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs.
Wealthy men could afford good wigs. The wigs couldn't be washed so to clean them, they could carve out
a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell and bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and
fluffy, hence the term "big wig." Today we often use the expression "Here comes the Big Wig" because
someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.
board was folded down from the wall and used for dining. The "head of the household" always sat in the
chair while everyone else ate sitting on the floor. Once in a while an invited guest would be offered to sit in
this chair during a meal whom was almost always a man. To sit-in the chair meant you were important and
in charge. Sitting in the chair, one was called the "chair man." Today, in business, we use the expression/title "Chairman."
developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth
out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another
woman's face she was told "mind your own bee's wax." Should the woman smile, the wax would crack,
hence the term "crack a smile." Also, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt, and therefore, the expression "losing face."
dignified lady as in "straight laced".
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."

Sorry it has taken so long to get a third post up I've been on the road and when I made it to my destination the cable modem for the internet access, that was one of the "free perks" of my abode for the week, is GONE!!
I'm hitchng a ride on an unknown wireless connection that is spotty at best. If needed, I will post a 4th post when needed and IF I can get connected to the internet.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! I'm pooped, so I am going to seek sweet dreams for the night. :)
