Wizard of Oz (was Food wars with casualties)

I have the wicked witches' cackle down pat! Cracks John up when I do it (and I think it scares him a little, too!). Margaret Hamilton was later Cora the Coffee Lady (Maxwell House). What a wonderful film! This reminds me of a funny story. Back in the late 1970s, a friend of mine was graduating college (Wheelock College in Boston), and my roommate and I went to the ceremony. It was a small group of people, and they had a procession in the beginning that involved everyone, including the graduates, faculty, guests of honor, and audience members. As we were walking along, my roommate pointed to a woman standing only a few feet away and said, in a rather loud voice, "Wow, look at her! She looks like the Wicked Witch of the West!" I was horrified that the woman might hear her, and shushed my roommate up. And the woman turned out to be Margaret Hamilton, receiving an honorary degree!! Joyce |

When I attended my brother's college graduation, Harry Belafonte received an honorary degree. I whispered to my father, "I wonder if any of these kids even remember Harry Belafonte." To my surprise, when he stepped up to the lectern, all the kids chorused "DAAAAYYYYYYY-O!" Theresa LOL! If they had not heard it before, they surely remembered it from Beetlejuise! Sherry |

Food wars with casualties
Yikes. What a beautiful clock (and cat) for Caliban to knock down. I hope
that you can get it fixed .... but I know all about property damage and cats. Our leather sofas and new mattress are trashed. And you still have to love the furry brats :-) Susan M Otis and Chester "Marina" wrote in message ... Yesterday, I gave Miranda poached turkey for her dinner, while Caliban got some tinned gooshy food. I had to buy some more today, because the smell was driving Caliban mad, and I thought it was unfair not to get him some, too. As it turned out, he didn't deserve such a treat. Half an hour before it was time to feed the cats, Caliban jumped up on an old ornamental cabinet (inherited from my granddad) and knocked down an old ornamental clock (inherited from my great-aunt). The clock didn't work before, and it didn't break (at least no pieces broke off), but it had this golden spike with golden ornaments on top, and that was bent in the fall. So Caliban really didn't deserve a treat. But he got it anyway, when enough time had elapsed between the accident and supper time that I hope he didn't connect the two. He did know that he had done something bad, because he went and hid after the clock had fallen. Here's a picture of Miranda as a kitten beside the clock, on the cabinet: http://pets.webshots.com/photo/13185...58511339rheoLu You can see that it's not a small or light-weight clock. Caliban has been jumping on top of that cabinet lately to get my attention when he is begging for food. Oh, well. It's just a thing. I had been planning to take it to a clockmaker to have it fixed. Maybe I'll finally get that done. And maybe Caliban won't drop it another time... Or maybe i'll just have to hide it away, like all my other ornaments. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

Our leather sofas and new mattress are trashed. And you still have to love the furry brats :-) Blimey. How lucky I am. My two have done no damage apart from KFC's inappropriate peeing on the carpets - despite her 2 litter boxes it still happens. I don't blame her for it, she has renal failure and can't help it. I will get new carpets afterwards.. :-( I had a dog that suffered from separation anxiety, Daisy whippet, she ripped up my furniture big time when I went to work and left her despite she had her mum, sister and brother there with her. I have only just been able to replace the furniture recently. It looks posh in here now! Sorta, anyway.. Tweed |

And you still have to love the furry brats :-) Oh, yes, of course I love him. The clock is hidden away in the cabinet and I don't even think about it any more - it's just a thing after all. Caliban was especially cuddly and sweet yesterday. He got on my lap as usual - or rather, on my chest with my arms propping him up, as usual. Then he got so into the scritching, he did upside-downy head that turned into upside-downy body, and then he gradually turned a somersault there, on my chest, so that he ended up head down, bum in my face, sprawled all over me, tummy in the air, enjoying full tummy rubs, and purring his little fuzzy head off. I wish there'd been someone with a camera to capture it. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

That would have been irresistible to Soncek also. I keep some boxes on top of a cupboard and when he is being a bad boy (usually at 3am), he throws them to the floor and since I am sleeping at the time, it makes me jump. Purrs and best wishes for the clock to be repaired, Polonca and Soncek |
