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!

Sure, turn it into a homeschool lesson. Park the car someplace safe when you have lots of time and give it a go. Better to know you can when you don't have to, that way, you know you can when you do!

We joined AAA a few years ago, and boy am I glad!! I'm sure I could do the jumper cable thing if I had to, but I'm glad I don't! The membership paid for itself the first three months we had it cause our old van was having trouble and I needed a jump off every 6 weeks or so. Glad we got a new one ;o), but I had to have AAA come out twice in two months earlier this year cause I kept picking up trash and blew two tires!

Thank goodness for AAA!

Apparently some people think "no, wait!" sounds like "ok, crank it!"

The voice of experience?

This has prolly been around, but got this via email this a.m.




In the beginning--God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower, and
spinach, with green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and
Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's and Krispy
Kreme. And Satan said: "You want hot fudge with that? And Man said: "Yes!"
And Woman said: "I'll have one too ...with sprinkles. "And so they gained 10
pounds.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that
Man found so fair.

And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane,
and combined them. And Woman went from size 2 to size 14.

So God said: "Try my fresh green garden salad." And Satan presented crumbled
Bleu Cheese dressing and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman
unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said: "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in
which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep-fried coconut shrimp,
butter-dipped lobster chunks, and chicken-fried steak--so big it needed its
own platter. And Man's cholesterol went through the roof.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with
potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthful skin and
sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats
adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds.

God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those
extra pounds. And Satan came forth with a cable TV with remote control so
Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging
suits.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still
satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and the 99-cent double
cheeseburger. Then Satan said: "You want fries with that?" And Man replied:
"Yes! And super size 'em!" And Satan said: "It is good." And Man and Woman
went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed--and created quadruple by-pass surgery.

And then Satan chuckled--and created HMOs

John Kerry directly contributed to the lies of the anti war movement AND caused deaths and injuries
to US Military serving in Vietnam AND
directly caused deaths from injuries at home AND countless suicides because of his false testimony.

John Kerry is not fit to be elected dog catcher let alone President of the United States.
ANYONE who votes for Kerry AFTER knowing this data
is guilty of covering up John Kerry's war crimes!


John Kerry, director of the Vietnam Veterans against the War,
testified before special session the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
April 22, 1971

KERRY GAVE TESTIMONY BASED UPON FALSE INFORMATION
THAT KERRY KNEW AHEAD OF TIME TO BE FALSE!




September 6, 2004 -- **BREAKING** In Yesterday's Lies: Steve Pitkin and the Winter Soldiers, Scott Swett tells the story of a former VVAW member and participant in the Winter Soldier Investigation who states that John Kerry and others pressured him to give false testimony about American atrocities in Vietnam. After more than 33 years, Pitkin is the first Winter Soldier "witness" to file a legal affadavit regarding that event...

My name is Steve Pitkin, age 20, from Baltimore. I served with the 9th Division from May of '69 until I was airvaced in July of '69. I'll testify about the beating of civilians and enemy personnel, destruction of villages, indiscriminate use of artillery, the general racism and the attitude of the American GI toward the Vietnamese. I will also talk about some of the problems of the GIs toward one another and the hassle with officers.

-- Steve Pitkin, Winter Soldier Investigation, February 1, 1971.

Ugh, what a morning! Something got messed up and all morning it's been, "I can't connect to my network drive" and "I can't print." And I can't do anything about it cuz it's a unix problem...

And now class in fifteen minutes. What a Monday this Tuesday is.

We had our bad day Friday - the mail server crashed due to a virus that somehow made it through all the defenses (some autoupdate process wasn't running correctly apparently) and we didn't get it up and running fully until late.

Today...I'm just worrying because I have very, very little time between work and the class, have not read the next chapter, and my watch has ceased to function. It's permanently set to 12:00 and won't let me set it. And I just had a battery put in in July. It better not be unfixable. But I don't really have time to stop anywhere to have it looked at. However, I really need my watch.

It's a puzzle.
