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, |
I don't have the energy for that. That happened to my brother-in-law (wife's sisters husband). His second wife left him for a Muslim she met on the internet.
She was raised orthodox Jew.
Well, I am losing the energy for it. ;~D
I asked the Mods to pull the link for our Christmas letter. I'd rather not have it all out in the open here.
If you'd like to read it, let me know and I'll send the link.
I've got it! :~D
Mornin' folks.
Six more shows! Six more shows! Six more shows!
Meanwhile....
I thought PJ&Co. solved one of the problems I had reading the book in my youth; the storylines split and unless one is taking good notes one can lose the chronology..."so did everyone else just go take a nap, or what?"
I had the same problem with Treasure Island...
OTOH, I'm the barbarian heretic who thought PJ/Eowyn's "I am No Man!" was viscerally satisfying...
When you hit the Wrong Nail with a hammer, do you say:
"Alas, it is split and the red gore runs. Accursed be this tool; I shall leave it on the floor whilst I go to the houses of healing."
Or do you say:
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFF...
"...uuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"...dge!"
Good Morning, Sleepies!
It's called an American flat bow, but I've been following, with much specific advice and help from Osage, a plan on Ferret's website...am presuming that the particular version may be Ferret's design? I wouldn't have been able to do it right without Osage's help. 'Course, that's making the assumption that I'm doing it right.
Morning everyone, briefly.
briefer
:)
Andy M. Stewart. Doesn't matter WHAT he sings, it makes me alternately tear up and wanna yell 'cause it's so good. ;-) Heh...yeah, I'm odd. I especially like the Silly Wizard songs that have him. His own CDs frequently have members of Silly Wizard, but it's not quite the same.
Manus Lunny sings on some of Andy's CDs, but I don't care for him as much.
And then there's Dougie MacLean - totally, totally different, but I like his stuff, too!
Also like Old Blind Dogs' lead singer...though their music is mostly really traditional Scottish ballads...and while traditional Irish ballads all seem to be about drinking and mourning, Scots ballads are about sneaking in girls' bedroom windows at night when her Dad isn't looking...
And the Wolfstone CDs that have Ivan Drever as the lead singer (not all do) are awesome too.
Wayyyyy more info than you wanted, right? Andy's the best, though.
"No man am I".
Good morning!
Good morning!
"No living man am I!"
Of course! Yours is what I meant to type, but even mine is better than PJ's..... I haven't had any coffee...
Gidget did the most hilarious thing last night. I don't think I can adequately paint the picture, but ecurbh and I were snuggling in bed, and Gidget was acting weird walking in and out of the bedroom, banging her tail on the walls. Sometimes she likes to crawl up on the bottom corner of the bed, so I called her up.
She leaped up onto the bed and onto us, and wedged herself right down between us, laid down and physicially started trying to PUSH ecurbh out of bed with her feet. I was LMAO. He had to get out of bed and whack her with a pillow to get her to leave, and she still acted weird and slept on the floor in there instead of on the couch like she usually does.
'Morning!
There's nothing quite like grits, sausage, eggs, and biscotti for breakfast.
Saw your letter before the post got pulled... nice work!
I really enjoy doing the online newsletter we post for family and friends. It's a fun way to keep in touch.
Bacon, eggs, AJ and coffee, here. I put a little almond extractin the coffe grounds first. 'Twas good...
I saw your letter before it got pulled - nice job, great pics. My family keeps threatening to do one of those but we figure everyone would get bored before they even got to the bothers...
Ugh. Got to go give a presentation this morning, like half the rest of my class that drew the short straw. Then my friends and I are going to Denver. We're going to Denver for Popeye's Chicken, actually.
You are so cool to make all these exotic (to me, anyway) weapons; Ferret bows, atl-atls, potato guns! Are your kids getting a chance to try out your new toys?
I also used to listen to "The Thistle and Shamrock" every week. I love Fiona Ritchie's voice. I haven't heard it since we moved here because I don't think any of the major public radio stations carry it. I'll have to look more closely.
Another "Andy" that I like is Andy Irvine who was a singer for an Irish band whose name I'm not sure about right now; was it Planksty? The group did a version of "Stewball" that had a driving beat and was fun, and another called "Sailing to America".
You've piqued my interest, so I'm going to have to check out Green Linnet records. You've done it now!!!
