The Hobbit Hole XV - Pass them by! Pass them by!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 09/02/2004 2:18:28 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Pass them by! Pass them by!

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!

Sounds like you spent all day out there working hard. Hope the horses appreciate all your effort :-)

You know, He really likes to take pictures, and he isn't bad at it either (like most kids his age are). This may very well be a hobby in the making for him.

Now, what did I do with that red light from my old dark room...

Whew...I am back. Wife actually just called and said "have you gone out yet?" WHAT DO YOU MEAN HAVE I GONE OUT YET?????

Apparently Corin's money is not good enough fer anyone. Sears came literally 20 minutes after I left. I'd given Jr. a note that said "be back at 4:00 p.m. today or not at all." Drivers went back and I got a call from customer service. Told 'em, we'll just return the dryer and shop elsewhere and she didn't care.

Honestly, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but this was the third time they've done that to us. I gotta truck. Ah kin go to the scratch and dent place and haul it myself if'n I got to.

I don't mind paying a premium for service...if'n I get the service.

THEN, after I dropped Luke off at the birthday party, I went to one of those chain eyeglass places in the mall. I had gotten my prescription on Friday and decided I wanted ~instead of bifocals~ to get contacts and then over-the-counter reading glasses. Sales goober said "we don't do that, you have to see our doctor." I just left...

Anyway, went by to see Nana and then to pick up Jr's prescriptions. I managed to lose the one the dentist gave me.

So, I left here at noon-thirty and just got back about 45 minutes ago...and the wife asks "have you gone out yet?"

Sheesh!

So....how late do I wait to take up the cannas?

Should I assume they ain't gonna bloom no more? Or should I wait a few weeks longer?

However, let the record stand that I did ~NOT~ get beat up. I'm just not in the mood fer takin' crap from anybody.

Just like that mortgage consultant that called. I don't even wait for them to breathe anymore. As soon as I figger 'em out I say "no thanks, bye" and hang up...

(I get 2-3 per day)

I also just got in the mail today a "Dear Friend" letter from James Carville. Yet another opportunity to respond. Here's what I'm thinking...

(red is the color of marker I will use)

Dear James:

1. I am not now, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be your "friend."

2. You James, are a lying-snake-in-the-grass...and that's the nicest name I have for you.

3. Whilst I know James Carville will never actually see this, I must ask, are the DemonRATS really so inept that you don't know who your friends are, or how after REPEATED attempts I cannot seem to get OFF your flippin' mailing lists?

No wonder you guys are 14 points DOWN in the polls.

For the record, I would sell a kidney to keep John Kerry out of the White House.

Most sincerely,

Corin Stormhands.

'zat a little harsh?

Don't deny your rage, man. Let us know how you really feel. Repressing like that'll just give you high BP.
