Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Tree and flower and leaf and grass
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! |

We are just fine!
We feel a little bored today. How does one go on with life when one has been focusing on just this one thing for a couple months?
We should now be doing something else, making some other plan, but what? - Oh yeah, before all this, we needed new jobs... ;~D

Oh bummer. You know.... most people have a pretty high tolerance for your cluttered house. If she says it was the allergy, and you actually saw her sneezing, it probably is the allergy.
Try not to be embarrassed. It wasn't put on you to make your house allergen free, you weren't even told it was an issue. You can't fix that in a day, if at all.

Right, manga is my kind of weird. American and Japanese comics are really too different to compare, IMO. I haven't figured out American comics yet...

HI Ruthy!!! good to see everyone here (well...most everyone).
I never got into comics until I decided that I wanted to get my hands on as much Star Wars memorabilia as I could...this was before Lucas even announced he was thinking about doing Episode One...I collected an 'A' list : movie marquis posters, plates, 12' figures, the Marvel comics. I have all but four of the 100+ Marvel issues of the Star Wars series.
Everything is WORTHLESS now, because no one wants to go near the SW stuff. Lucas is a joke.
I miss the old days.

I still have a dog with a housebreaking problem, though. And though I don't THINK it's obvious...I live here...so maybe it is.But I wasn't told she was allergic, either. And I did specifically ask beforehand.
I'm more mad at myself than my brother, which I guess is positive in SOME ways...considering I should be nice to him in front of her!

What on EARTH are you talking about, Rosie!? I'm certain your house is NOT at all filthy, so quit talking nonsense. There is absolutely NO reason for you to feel embarrassed.
It isn't your fault she's allergic to cats, so don't take that personally. And I'm fairly sure that she doesn't think anything negative towards you. As a matter of fact, she prolly feels terrible that ~her~ cat allergy has become an issue on her first visit with her in-laws.

You have no reason to be mad at yourself. This was put on you with little warning and over your objections and concerns. These guys have got you pretty conditioned to accept all the guilt, but we aren't gonna let you carry it here!
It's hard, to maintain a place for guests that is pet-free. I try to keep my back bedroom a pet free zone so it isn't covered with hair like everything else, but the sheets are washed and stored all together, so I am sure it isn't allergen free at all.

Rosie! Stop feeling down! You work hard, if your house isn't perfect at the end of the day, who cares? And I would be money that she didn't even notice. Trust me, if someone has allergies, they aren't going to want to be around what causes them.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, gang. I still know my house needs to be cleaner (trust me on this)...but I suppose even if it were spotless, just having cats in the vicinity might have been too much. Especially since two of them (one in particular!) are wayyyyy friendly...I wasn't here when she got up, but it may well be that they tried to make friends and made things worse.
I haven't talked to HER yet today. Just to Dad.

I wish!
I use the "artistic temperament" excuse, I guess.
At least I did the dishes this morning...and the bathroom is clean.

On the bright side...
The natural foods place is now carrying DaVinci sugarfree syrups! They only had three flavors, but it's a start. And I'd feel more comfortable asking them to special order than I would Price Chopper. They probably wouldn't mind at all.
