Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner we may meet...

• 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...
• Sixth Thread: The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
• Seventh Thread: The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

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!

Again, it really depends on the family - but in general, things that can be easily taught by question and answer - math and some sciences - would appeal more than something that needs to be covered in depth, like history.

"You can't run after you have babies...all your female parts will fall out!"

Just think for a minute the fear your mom lives with every day!

Steve only has till next Wed of this semester. Gasp! This has been hard but not as hard as the last time he took two classes...

He gets in around 10-11pm every night now and said he's gonna be at it all weekend. I only see him in passing.

Not that the summer semesters will be much better, he's going to be working on his thesis all summer...

But it should be slightly better.

I'm just tryin' to picture how exactly she thinks this could happen...unless 2J is built wayyyyyy different from the average gal!

[2Jedismom]

Well, she meant prolapse...it happens a lot with women after they have children, when they start to get older...you know, then they go in and have it surgically all put back? It's a pretty common ailment that can actually be lessened or prevented with exersize!

[Fedora]

I've got some ideas on how to cover history in depth. I'll send them to you later and see if you have any ideas on how they might be geared towards that market.

[Fedora]

What's his thesis on?

[ecurbh]

Whaddaya think of this?

Here's the HTML code if you want me to host it for you...

I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you ecurb!!! You're a pal! A real peach! A pip, I tell ya!

[JenB]

Oh, ugh, now I'll never have kids.

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh, ugh, now I'll never have kids.

"Umm... honey... I seem to have a bit of a problem..."

[RosieCotton]

Having babies and nursing 'em can reduce your risk of breast cancer. ;-)

My Mom also stopped having serious migraines after I was born. I'm sure I helped with OTHER kinda headaches, though.

I don't think health is guaranteed either way...

[JenB]

Risk of death is about the same, whether you have kids or not. Having my innards fall out is not something I want to happen to me, though.

Then again, neither is breast cancer.

[2Jedismom]

I used it!

Thanks again, ecurb and thanks for hosting it for me! I put it on my profile page.

[RosieCotton]

Remember the story of Gideon's fleece? Mine is that, if this is not the Lord's will, I will not be invited to Houston, because if I do, I'll put my current job in jeopardy if not lose it outright.

So...this will be your sign, hopefully, if you get the invitation, right?

Best of luck to you!

[ecurbh]

WOOHOO!!

I finally got a response to one of my resumes... have an interview for a temp-to-hire tech support job on Monday.

[RosieCotton]

Most excellent! Congratulations!

Is it fairly close to home? And what is it, kind of a helpdesk position?

[2Jedismom]

Oh what a great way to go into the weekend!! Best wishes!

[HairOfTheDog]

That's rough if you can't easily get the leave from your current job to go! I hope you have a pretty good idea you'll get the job before goin' to Houston...
