The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

Corin, isn't it time to schedule that work session with Rasputin to go over scheduling?

Heh...there's a thought.

I agree! Believe me, I wish I had a tolerance for the stuff, but alas!

The hottest I go is jalapeno poppers. *sigh*

LOL!!! I think you know more about what he's up to than I do!

The pictures were mostly to show his family...so they'll believe us that he's really doing this!

Oh, see, my sister won't eat pepper on her food. You're not so bad at all... I'll just have to remember not to cook my lip-burning taco beef at ShootMoot...

Mmmmm... Jalapeno poppers... :-)

Dang me... I just love hot food... but lately my tummy disagrees with my love for such things. Dangit.

No, it's not that bad for me. I put pepper on mac-n-cheese! *grin*

Eww... to the mac and cheese, not the pepper.

I am anti-pasta.

Same thing here. But I can barely even eat it!

trini cooks and eats plenty of spicy stuff. Spicy HOT!

I'll never forget one time she cooked up a batch of ribs that looked and smelled ~so~ good. She picked one up and took a bite to make sure it was cooked thru and immediately sucked in a breath, waved a hand in front of her mouth and said "No girl, it ain't that hot."

*sigh* I ate one just because I had to satisfy my rib craving, but man oh man was I ever sorry! My tongue had blisters!

I don't know how anyone can eat things that hot and have any soft tissue left in their mouth!

I could not live without pasta! Or bread! Or potatoes!

The Atkins Diet is my sworn enemy! *laughing*

Deep breaths, Master Ramius. Deep breaths.

Remember that you are dealing with (for the most part) keyboard commandos whose only brush with greatness is the quest for a higher post count than those they flame.

Speak not such blasphemy, woman! I never feel as good as when I'm on Atkins, and I can live on it for weeks at a stretch, go off for a weekend, and get back on... yes, the pizza cravings get to me but the pounds are so much worse.

Right now I'm still in the "get on the scale every morning for motivation" phase. Any clue how much hair weighs?

heheheh....I've decided to live and love the extra baby weight I put on. But it does depress me when summer comes around.

There are just WAY too many stick figures on the beach for anyone who weighs more than 120 pounds to feel comfortable.

And I can't imagine how much hair weighs. Maybe a pound at most??

Hey, hey...so how's it feel to you to have a monarch? Whaddaya think...Hillary is the first to visit. Wouldn't that be like a major estrogen nightmare?

Sigh. Maybe mine weighs two pounds, it's so long and thick...

I just feel uncomfortable, still, at my current weight. Especially with the Christmas pounds. I don't have expectations of a size 2 but a size 8 is possible if I could just get my act together for more than three weeks at a time.
