The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

Don't ever patronize them again, and send them a note saying you'll be telling friends to stay away.

Oof... had nice fajitas and now I'm full! Oh, just realized my cravings have been almost nonexistent today. Huzzah! That's how I know I'm back on.

Found some really good "Blue Bunny" ice cream treats. 4 carbs... vanilla in a chocolate shell. Very nice on a hot night!

It's never too late. But they sorta have the upper hand bein' one of the only games around.

Would the Netflix or Walmart options be too spendy for ya? (don't answer if'n that's too personal)

Jets-Colts division is always interesting to me because it's usually pretty competitive. In Pittsburgh's division I always root for them.

The main downside with Netflix or Walmart is just that I don't typically watch movies every weekend, so I'm not sure I'd get my money's worth. And you have to think ahead, instead of just saying "hey, how about we go pick up a movie?"

Otherwise...yeah, that'd be a great option. The only two video places here have both ticked me off greatly in the last few months. Both places have extremely rude employees (and it's not just me sayin' it), and neither is cheap. The one I USUALLY go to charges almost four bucks for one movie, and they WILL charge you if you're even ten minutes late. No joke.

"Yeah, but... how good are the Saints this year?"

Hard to tell yet, LOL! I still remember the year of the "Aints". . .

True, I couldn't watch movies fast enough for Netflix. It worked for a while when the Mrs. was still working nights. I'd watch something while I was freepin' or writing.

But now we have a TV in the same room as the computer. So I've either got FOX, HGTV or football on...

Yeah, but the Redskins have shaken that monkey coach off their backs and are flying straight now with Joe Gibbs.

Would that Dallas could say the same. Given the choice of a clean, immobile, ancient Vinnie and a reportedly drug-headed, mobile, young Quincy Carter ...

<sigh>I shouldn't be the one to make that choice ...!

I don't know if that has the same cachet as "series" or "stuned".

Excellent, thanks for the post Winmag. Glad to hear the knives are reaching their assigned destinations and are a useful kit addition.

OK...in the next five minutes, who can write the shortest post using the most FReepwords that makes some sort of sense?
