The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Give it a try anyway. You don't want to go around with a broken tooth for a week.

Same deal there. Wednesday at the earliest.

Guess I gotta live with it.

Sheesh. That just doesn't sound right. I thought dentists kept a slot open during the day for emergencies, which this certainly is.

Take care of yourself...

Apparently around here all dental offices close at one on Fridays, too. Or don't open at all.

No wonder they're booked so far out.

I don't think they think this is that big of a deal. I guess this doesn't qualify as an emergency, since I didn't actually LOSE a tooth and I'm not bleeding. And I guess I can see that viewpoint.

Of ALL the times for this to happen! It's not fair!

Sorry, chica.

I can't understand how any dentist would think it acceptable to let a person walk around with a broken tooth for any length of time. :-(

Not fair at all! I sympathize...

Ugh, still exhausted. I have a feeling this will be one of those days - the "sneak downstairs at 11 for another bottle of Diet Dr Pepper" sorts.

Did you miss the South Park Fellowship?

(I'm thinking of escaping this joint...)

I like Boromir the best.

And I'm getting really sick of boxes and tidying.

Where's Mary Poppins when you need her? Yeesh.

No kidding, my apartment's such a dump... I've got to get some boxes this weekend. And wash my clothes....

It's a double caffeine kinda day...

At least I have a closing date. That makes me feel much better.

It's on the same day as my dentist's appointment. Hopefully I won't have a mouthful of gauze... ;-)

On the bright side, we're allowed to take sick time for dental appointments. MAYBE I can get away with just taking a sick day, rather than using vacation time. I imagine people'd look the other way. Whether my conscience would let me do it may be another matter, though.

I hope this doesn't cost a fortune!

Hey, I have a question to ask you!

At what temperature is egg considered "cooked"? I made some rice pudding that just turned out delicious, but it was starting to get a bit curdled when I removed it from the heat. I coulda removed it earlier, but don't know when it's actually "cooked".

Here's my recipe...just something I threw together...

1 C milk
1/2 C sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
A bunch of cooked rice, maybe 2 cups? (I just used what I had left over)
1/2 cup raisins

Stir all together in a saucepan over medium heat until it thickens.

You have sick time, you're permitted to use sick time - what's the dilemna?

Oh, right before I removed it from the heat, I added a generous tsp of vanilla..meaning I poured it in till it slopped over the edge of the tsp.

I mean...instead of taking the hour or two that I'd be out for the dentist appt, I could take the day, so I wouldn't have to take a half vacation day for the closing.

That's the dilemna.

You'll be at the dentist. That makes you sick. Plus if you're like me you'll get worked up before getting there, adding to the stress and misery and making it a legitimately sick day.
