Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
That hurts. And I guess I've carried a chip on the shoulder ever since.
...Off to catch a cat and go to the vet. :(

I think just out of spite from the other thread, I'll take Rosie's side in this.... or should I hold out for taking the opposing side the next time you need ~real~ backup in the RF?
~smiles wickedly~
Well, if you were treated like that they were just stoopid. That's wrong coming from anywhere.
What did I do? Did I "insult" you on the other thread? Or are you just hungry for more popcorn?
Okay, I'm really gone this time...chiropractor...dry cleaning...shoe repair place...truck?...home...
No ~you~ didn't insult me.... you gave a reasonable response to the issue that was originally at hand...
"You go to hell. I'm going to Texas." Davy Crockett, to the Tennessee Congress.
Sheesh! I was just exhibiting a little neighborly Texan joshing!! Didn't mean to start up the next Rising of the South, or West, or Northwest, or what have you.
My bottom line is just what I said in my first post on the subject. People are usually proud of where they're from...or at least fond of it. That's not a bad thing.
It's when you can't be happy with where you're from without insulting the places other people love - other people's homes - that it bothers me. Or when people act like they belong to an exclusive club and won't even explain things to people who weren't born part of it, even those of us who are perfectly open and friendly. And yes, most of it here is friendly joshing...but even here I think there are occasionally barbs behind it all.
I shouldn't be sensitive. But I am.
I'll shut up now. Just havin' a bad day, I guess. And God done smote me for posting the first post on the subject...I had started the sink running to do dishes, but got so wrapped up in what I was saying that I forgot about it, and now I have a total mess on my hands. Just waiting for the dripping-into-the-basement to stop before I go down there to mop. Already did as much as I could upstairs.
At least I got a cool post number...
I've traveled to enough parts of the states to know that the entire country is one Glorious creation that God gifted to us. And even I get weary of fellow Texans claiming their ain't nothing good outside it...I get it from my hubby all time. In fact, I have never really felt a part of Texas, although I have never lived anywhere else. But I know what you mean. I get a little brash about my home state, but I mean it in good fun. Ive met really nice New Yorkers who were far more friendly and sociable than some Dallasite relatives I have.
Drinking moderate amounts of red wine helps cholesterol, doesn't it?
"Drinking moderate amounts of red wine helps cholesterol, doesn't it?"
Yesh! [Hic!] Oh, you said "moderate". . .
It was the Took in me!!!!!!!!
Ive moderated my glasses of wine before..."waittress, see here that every glass I ask for is FULL" I'm a good moderator, aren't I?
"Ive moderated my glasses of wine before"
Is that when your glasses of wine are debating and you periodically remind them to take turns and let the other glass finish first?
