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!

They are very good! One of them is still snoring away!

[msdrby]

Yes it is. It opened in 1963. Of course, it is completely different now. You will have to go again sometime... Especially now that the ballpark is next door! The Washington Senators moved to Arlington in the early 1970's aka the Texas Rangers.

Well...originally they said "Let's go to somewhere like New Brunswick!" I said OK...but I always end up telling everyone what we're gonna do, and I don't like that. Plus they aren't at work, most of 'em. Plus I'm more broke, so I'm mostly gonna be along for the ride, but they don't wanna drive, so I guess that's part of my payment.

So...I suggested they pick a town or a campground or an island or somewhat and make reservations.

Didn't happen, and now it's so late I dunno if it WILL happen. Most places are booked solid this late in the game.

But the drummer with our group told us last night about a place he's been occasionally - he said it's rarely crowded, there's a hotel that's nice yet inexpensive, and a lot of beach, though it's too cold to swim. Campobello Island - just past Maine. It's still a longer drive than I've ever done, but I'm tryin' to get better at that, which is one of the reasons I want to do this trip in the first place. Practice run for Entmoot 2005. ;-)

Now we'll have to see if there are any open rooms or campsites...

[RosieCotton]

LOL!

[RosieCotton]

Good morning, msdrby! Good to see you...I haven't seen you around as much lately.

[SuziQ]

I haven't been to Texas (except for changing planes) since my brother was at the Air Force base in Lubbuck. Or at least that's where he lived, and that was the early 70's.

We'll probably be spending more time there in the next few years though, because #2 son is starting Grad School at UT Austin in the fall, and #1 son is considering law firms there for jobs when he finishes school.

It's kinda Friday for me too. Got the movers coming tomorrow.

[msdrby]

mornin! Right now, I have a babygirl crying in my ear. Hmm, think she's hungry... as is almost always the case.

[2Jedismom]

I enjoyed myself an adult entertainment beverage

Question...

Is an adult entertainment beverage a beverage one drinks whilst watching adult entertainment? Or does one begin to entertain himself and others while drinking the beverage?

;-)

Good morning!

[RosieCotton]

Hmm, think she's hungry... as is almost always the case.

Heh...

Loved the pictures from her christening, BTW! She's already getting big. *snif* They grow up too fast!

[RosieCotton]

Are you putting a lot into storage? How is that going to work?

[Overtaxed]

I think I'll just rent a garage here at the apt. to put the overflow in. I'll go from near empty to stacks of stuff. :)

[msdrby]

The other day at elf-boy's karate class, there was another baby there, same size as babygirl. She is 5 mo. old!

[2Jedismom]

Did the house sell??

Good morning!

[Overtaxed]

I suppose. Closing is the 9th...I don't consider it sold until I have the money. :)

[RosieCotton]

Heh...I see you've already found the "all music that is touched in any way by anything secular is evil" thread.

Heaven forbid that a Christian artist might be influenced musically by the Beatles! Unholy...

Racebannon cracks me up sometimes.

[Corin Stormhands]

Mornin' again.

Just got another document back from theboss sayin' "run this by so and so" and see if he approves.

fercryinoutloud, theboss is the one with the authority to 1) approve so and so and 2) tell so and so what he thinks...

[Corin Stormhands]

Is an adult entertainment beverage a beverage one drinks whilst watching adult entertainment? Or does one begin to entertain himself and others while drinking the beverage?

Let's try to keep this a family thread.

[Corin Stormhands]

Yeah, I was pinged over there. I hate those kinds of threads.

[2Jedismom]

Hey! I made Steve a PIZZA last night when he came in from school! Just a little individual pizza but he LOVED it...the first time he's had something like that since starting Atkins.

½ Flatout Carbdown flatbread, cut into a circle (4g net carbs)
¼ C Carb Options Spaghetti sauce (2.5g net carbs)
1 oz (weighed) shredded mozzerella cheese. (>1g)
6 pepperonis(>1g)

We're looking at around 7 carbs here! He ate it with bliss on his face! LOL

These flatbreads are sold here at Walmart by the deli...they are thicker and chewier than the Mission tortillas I normally use for wraps. They are 8g net for the entire flatbread but it really is too much for me to eat. They are elongated...shaped like the track around a football field, you know? I cut them in half and make sandwiches out of them.

The website doesn't mention the Carbdown ones they make...they are brand new, I think!
