The Hobbit Hole XVI - Still round the corner there may wait...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner there may wait...

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!

She'll gain width.... she's relatively young, and needs some weight conditioning and maturity. We're feeding her more than she got before. As a mustang and Arab... she'll never be an Ahnold, but she's strong.

Honest cough snaig.

Any chance that it's allergy related asthma? Becky had a hacking cough for weeks until I finally took her to a specialist.

She went on a treatment of Singulair, Xopenex nebulizer aerosols and Claritin. She was better within 48 hours.

Every so often I'll have to repeat the treatment when the allergies flare up again, but for the most part the Singulair keeps it under control.

I'm skeered that's exactly what it is.

Well then, you'll just have to go get some Singulair and that's that!

I read earlier on that you already have the Xopenex. And Claritin is sold OTC these days. No excuses, Corin!


Take care of yourself because asthma related illnesses are no joke. I'm serious, okay?

My father almost died right in front of me from a severe asthma attack, so don't worry me please!

Speaking of time warp...

I forget, when do you have to go in for the try-outs? Or did you already?

I've got the Claritin. But the Xopenex is Luke's prescription. I'm gonna give it thru the weekend to see if this stuff works, then I'll go back to thedoctor.

Sorry about your bad day Scott.

I think I just read about it.... the article started out "I kept my expectations low for Tuesday’s news conference...."

Right?

Have a drink with an umbrella in it.

Nope... never really shook it. though now its sorta stuck as just a sniffle and a cough. no big deal.

I'm really having some difficult days though. this sarbanes-oxley stuff is really getting to me. every time we meet about it, the goalposts move a little further away and I'm running out of time. i'm really really tired of dealing with it.

This may cost me my job-- not because of anything we're doing wrong... but because I'm going to totally lose it at one of these incessant meetings.

I just got something new from the sox consultants tonight-- that looks to me like something I should have seen about six months ago. It would have been really nice to have seen some of these criteria *before* we rewrote all the policies and procedures.

I'm starting to hate them. :-)

And the audit started this week. too late to change things now.

I use my Becky's Xopenex all the time! It's not the most pleasant thing in the world, but it does help.

One treatment an hour before bed may help alleviate the coughing for the night. It's does hype you up a bit first though, so I recommend bringing the inhaler down and giving yourself a treatment while you finish up your chit-chat with us.

No, that was a previous bad day (Tuesday). In this city there's a new hell every day. Today it was the oil spill, the Pantages Theatre being closed by the Fire Dept. with many expensive life-threatening hazards, and having to tell two of my staff that they would be let go at the end of the year because we are taking a 50% budget cut.
