The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

When are you going to get your EE?

Should be any day now. I pre-ordered from Amazon. It was shipped Airborne on Monday. But it took me a week to get Harry Potter.

Next time I'll just go to Wally World.

Yes... I was not going to risk delivery of it....

Did you skimp on shipping? The others who ordered it got it already.

Okay, what do I buy ping...

Jr. needs a new portable CD player. Also wants to be able to play MP3.

What do I buy and how much should I plan on spending?

Remember, I'm running low on kidneys...

Hmmm... I would advise looking online first. Bestbuy.com should give you an idea.

He doesn't need a cd player if it does MP3s. He can rip the cds to the computer and then download them. Any media program will do that - Windows Media Player works great. Just get the MP3 player. It'll be smaller that way and more convenient.

I have thought about buying such a thing in the past, but have never really got the point where I ~needed~ one (always been able to listen to mp3s on the work computer, etc.)

But Amazon has quite a few portable CD players that will also play mp3 discs... prices range from about $40-100 if I remember correctly.

If I have a CD burner, do I have the capability to burn MP3 discs? Or will he need new software as well?

I'm pretty ignorant about all of this.
