The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

[ecurbh]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...
• Fifth Thread: The Hobbit Hole V - Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Soon as I clicked on that address 2J I got a virus warning. I shut down and scanned. I don't think I wanna go there again!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Virus? Worked fine for me, no warnings or anything...

I have several quilt tops in various stages of completion. One is complete and needs to be quilted. Friend of mine knows a lady that will supply the batting and do the quilting for $35. I just sent a top to that lady a few weeks ago to see what kind of work she does. If this comes out nice, I may be more motivated to work on quilts again!

I didn't get an error when I clicked on it.

Actually, it gives me an idea ... My couches could use a pick-me-up ...!

[Wneighbor]

Dunno... but I disinfected and it found one file. I still can't see whatever Corin posted but I don't think I wanna try that again! I'd rather just not go through that again!

[Wneighbor]

Okay. Now both of you are makin' me feel like a slug! I'm tickled that I've just got furniture and clothing *mostly* in the right rooms. I'm not givin' a flip about my old furniture for at least months!

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Evenin' all!

[Wneighbor]

Hey Seamus! How's this temp job? Sounds like one ta wear you out!

Still prayin' on the one with the interviews!

[ItsOurTimeNow]

I think I'm actually starting to like it, believe it or not. I framed off the kitchen today with 2x4's. My buddy gave me the basic schematic, and I did it with no problems.

If it were more lucritive, I could do it for a living. No phone calls, no reports, no corporate-speak, no suit, gettin' to pee in the woods, usin' power tools...lol

Doesn't get a whole lot better n' that!

[Wneighbor]

Hey, did ya see this?I think I need to see about going to that April 3 race!

[2Jedismom]

Don't feel like a slug!

I gotta go. Steve'll be here soon and I want to get Matthew's work graded before he gets home.

It's the weekend...so expect me when you see me!

[Wneighbor]

I know exactly what you mean! I didn't work for 6 months between jobs before coming here. I had a friend who *really* wanted someone to clean her house once a week! So I did that for extra cash. I loved it!!! For all those reasons you listed. Incredible. I considered just finding 2 or 3 other people that wanted cleaning and doing that instead of real work!

[Wneighbor]

C-ya when I c-ya 2J

"The Elves stirred and murmured with astonishment, and Celeborn gazed at the Dwarf in wonder, but the Lady smiled. 'It is said that the skill of the Dwarves is in their hands rather than in their tongues ' she said"

[Wneighbor]

goin' back to work in the den for a while.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

*blushes*

Sorry m'lady.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

gettin' to pee in the woods

Yep, that's livin'! ;)

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Jess just signed up with another teleservicing company, which will allow her another work-at-home opportunity, in addition to the one she's already working.

If I were to sign on for it as well, I could keep the "grunt" job, and do the teleservice job at night, and actually make a little bit more than I did in the "real world". This house is already wired with two phone lines, all I'd need is a router and a laptop, and shoot...Jess and I could both work at the same time.

Of course...there'd be no health-benefits, so that's a bummer. But...if I could get around that...heck, that'd be awesome to never wear a suit again. It's certainly tempting, I'll say.

[Rose in RoseBear]

Oh, WN, this furniture was my mother's! It's at least forty-two years old, and it needs a new look, for real!

[ItsOurTimeNow]

LOL...I may actually delay installing the toilet until the end of the month!
