Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2004Hidden treasure
Whenever we get any extra money, it seems that the resident gremlins throw the dice or whatever and the one who wins gets to break something. So, last Friday I got a paycheck for my temp job, and yesterday Jim called me at work and said the stove quit. In an effort to find out what was the problem, he and a friend moved the stove away from the wall. Underneath were 19 plastic lids from those single serving size yogurt containers and a bird feather. Sigh. Annie "Annie Wxill" <Annie_Wxill@mailgate.org> had some very interesting things to say about Hidden treasure: >Whenever we get any extra money, it seems that the resident gremlins throw >the dice or whatever and the one who wins gets to break something. That happens to you too?

Yes, regularly. Usually the breaking of something occurs when Jim is gone and I have to deal with it. I think he used to wonder if I was some kind of a destructive person. Now that he's home all the time, the gremlins had to try a new twist. They waited until I was working, and then he has to deal with it this time. Ironically, the cost of a new equivalent stove would just about equal my paycheck. We decided to call a repair person and see if the stove can be repaired. Of course, Jim will be the one to sit around all day Friday and wait for the repair person. Fortunately, we have a microwave so he had my dinner ready today when I got home and can have my dinner ready when I get home tomorrow (Thursday). (heh, heh) Also, on the bright side, there were no bugs, dead or otherwise behind the stove. Just the cats' stash of lids and a feather. Annie My month has included the breaking of: VCR One hearing aid Two vehicle transmissions Battery on van and the list goes on..... tonight I came home to a call on the machine wondering why my October rent isn't paid. Well, let me tell you the list. SignatureChristopher A.

Annie >My month has included the breaking of: > >VCR >One hearing aid >Two vehicle transmissions >Battery on van Well, I can't match you, but so far the dryer quit a week ago, and the refrigerator is starting to sound like an air compressor. I think that's a very bad sign. Sherry >Whenever we get any extra money, it seems that the resident gremlins throw >the dice or whatever and the one who wins gets to break something.

A couple weeks ago I agreed to watch the complex while the management took a short trip to visit the new grandbaby. Eddy, the owner, came by and opened the water heater closet so he could show me the shutoff for the water heater in case one started leaking. Sure enough there were a LOT of bottle caps, Sammy's all time favorite toys (my favorite too, since they're free every time I open a bottle). They're also the only thing I know of that Sammy will pull out of the trash can.

I was ashamed what appeared when they took out my free standing cooker. Oven, stove. Pieces of dry dog food. Lots of. Some mummified onion. Other unidentifiable things, probably of vegetable origin. A pen that I'd lost, and was glad to get back. One or two coins, including one my German friend must have dropped when she was last here.

Wondered where they all got to. Jean.P. > >Whenever we get any extra money, it seems that the resident gremlins throw > > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > (=':'=) > (")_(") |
