Ok, my wife who happens to be a huge wizard of Oz fan says Dorothy was 11. Kinda early for schizophrenia particularly in a female.

We got what tomatoes we had made into spag. sauce. I stuffed my green peper supply for the winter + diced up a 1/2 bushel of greenpepers for the next 1.5 bushel of tomaters.
Tomorrow we a hitting a farmers market for Beets.

no way Dorothy was 11, they didn't feed cows enough hormones for an 11 y.o. to start having,, umm .... well she wasn't 11..... dammit.
Alice maybe,,, but Dorothy no way.

most schizophrenics start with auditory hallucinations, straight to or far enough straight into visual just,,, wow.
she would have ended up somewhere that would have made her wish she was back at home for sure especially during that time period.

Wifeypoo has an aunt(mother's younger sister)that I've called Glinda for....30+ years.She looks exactly like her.Same voice.....and is as sweet as they come.

OK,the funny part is everyone in the family gets the joke..... If she's Glinda,will give you two guesses who my mother in law represents.

1939 was a heck of a year for film.Gone with the Wind,Oz,Stagecoach and a cpl others that escape me.

When Zelena gets banished to Oz once again in a later episode, she steals Dorothy's dog Toto. When Dorothy tries to rescue Toto, Zelena puts her under a sleeping curse and she can only be awoken by true love's kiss. At the end of the episode Ruby/Red Ridding Hood wakes Dorothy up by giving Dorothy true loves kiss, making them the show's first LGBT couple.


just how the hell do we go from a little 11 y.o. girl that never ages or grows up to this?
I mean seriously.

okay,,, when you take the entire story line into account, the 'how she got there' doesn't really matter,
it does sound like it would be worth pursuing the entire set of books and reading them though.

Can I take a quick poll here?

Please let me know who else thinks fiver needs to get a job to take up some of his free time?

The 'real' story is from a long time ago, toddler got caught in a tornado and ended up in a mud patch. She didn't survive. All the rest is pure fiction. As the script writer's mind gets bent, so does the show. Original Disney (he was 'peculiar') Snow white, etc. were decent kids moviesw. Alice was a real mind bender. All the remakes are .. weird.

free time?
you know I only sleep like 4 hours a night.
even an 8 hr a day job would leave me too much free time.
plus I'd get bored at a job and think up even more dumb stuff, just be glad I only share the weekend stuff.

The key is to be so busy & tired ya can't do or think about it. So, cut the sleep back to 2-3hr & instead of 8 work 14-16. ;)

Having a young child pretty much accomplishes all of that. I still have strange thoughts on the weekend, but they are more like "how many poopy diapers will I need to change today to bribe my wife into feeding baby at suppertime so I can go sit on the hill under a tree for half an hour?"

alright another one...
I was considering going fishing this morning then remembered it was the weekend so decided NO.
had to put some new Jigs in the tackle box anyway and as I was out in the garage poking around at things I got to looking at the fishing nets.

did you know if you make a hole in a net it actually has fewer holes than it did to begin with.
the fewer holes it has in it the more worthless it is.
I don't think too many other things are less valuable or useable the more holy they are.

Because I'm on perpetual weekend time, here is my weekend something to ponder:
Why was that driverless stupid Smart car sitting next to a gas pump?

My take is that it was stolen and the thief, being more stupid than anyone stupid enough to buy a Smart car, thought it ran out of gas, when it quit running, but was able to coast into the gas station. Then, when the fuel nozzle wouldn't fit into the electrical receptacle, he realized just how stupid he was for stealing a Smart car, took off and left the car sitting next to the gas pump.

well I had a couple of hours of sleep last night.
like from 12 to 1 then again from 3 to 6 so I was well rested this morning.
anyhow as I was sitting there watching the sun come up and realizing I was just about out of soda I was debating whether to go get another one from the truck or wait for an hour or so.
then my mind got to wandering around a bit as it usually does.
at first I thought, that is the smallest pack rat I ever seen, I wonder if the wife would let me keep it.
then I thought man those are some tiny little chipmunks over there playing around.
right after that though my thoughts wandered off into other areas that usually occupy my time.
the first one was framing in the patio section of the roof and the stuff I'd need to do that minus what I already had on hand.

then I got to wondering how do blind people know they are done wiping their butt.
I mean is there like braille toilet paper, a little finger sensor, do they sniff it, does someone come in and check it for them?
how the hell does this work?

ha Friday no wait it's Saturday.
anyway.

so I'm at the wal-mart getting my tires rotated and an oil change done earlier this week.
as I'm sitting there watching them do the oil change a fellow comes in with his wife and a couple of teen-20 y.o. boys.
they brought in all 3 of the family vehicles for an oil change at the same time.
so I'm listening to the guy talk to the lady at the counter about his oil and he wants to use the same oil he pours in the cars as it burns/leaks out.
[not his first time at the wal-mart]
she says,, well we use this weight oil [5-20/5-30] he wants to use 10-30.
you can imagine the conversation that follows [corporate says, and we can't] and he says well you did, and we have.
finally he say's well what is gonna happen if we put in the 5-30 and I add 10-30 as it is used up I'm putting about 4 quarts in between 3,000 mile oil changes.
I'm like uhh nuthin is gonna happen, plus you just changed the oil [again] might as well put a new filter on add another qt. and keep going.

now the guy ain't dumb by any means, he just overthinks everything.
he asked what the price difference would be using the bottled oil he has been using and their bulk oil.
the lady told him the price difference in per qt. and he told her straight out the price difference before she could even punch it in the computer.

he could have, they had mine done and was standing around BS'n.
as much oil as he was putting in he could have just changed the filter and kept on adding more.

Jumping back a few.....I first saw Wizard of Oz as about a 6 year old, at an drive in movie, sitting up front in lawn chairs.

When the Wicked Witch came on (25 ft tall!) it was pretty scary, but those damned flying monkeys just
creep me out, even today. Yikes!

Never had any idea I would move to Kansas and get to know Dorothy personally and her dog, Toto. ;)
