Happy Birthday, Annie. Were you *really* born March 31? My grandmother always said this was her birthday, but in truth, she just didn't want to be called an April Fool.

A woman went to the emergency room, where she was seen by a young new doctor. After about 3 minutes in the examination room, the doctor told her she was pregnant. She burst out of the room and ran down the corridor screaming. An older doctor stopped her and asked what the problem was; after listening to her story, he calmed her down and sat her in another room. Then the doctor marched down the hallway to the first doctor's room. "What's wrong with you?" he demanded. This woman is 63 years old, she has two grown children and several grandchildren, and you told her she was pregnant?!!"

I'm really bad at por­tioning out pasta. So if you and your 50 friends want to come over, dinner is almost ready.

Olychick, so sorry. It's one of my favorite movies and I think one of the best ever made. Love how they made all the Kansas shots in the sepia tones, but Oz in brilliant colors. Plus so many favorite scenes, especially when the witches feet disappear under the house and she acquires the ruby slippers. And of course when she melts. Plus the message with her awakening to the power she had inside herself all along. So many quotes too: "I'll get you my little pretty!" "Toto, I've got a feeling we aren't in Kansas any more." "Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my!" "There's no place like home." Then the whole story line about Dorothy's awakening to finding out she has the power all along. I found this interesting article about various interpretations of the true meaning behind the Wizard of Oz and am amazed that such a story still provides speculation and analysis these many years later. https://www.vulture.com/2013/03/wizard-of-oz-theories-gold-standard-feminist-religion-jung.html
