The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

That's good news on Nana's hip, especially since the doc's were able to give that positive of a prognosis.

Whoa...that was weird. Remember I said I had tried to put an ad on petfinder but found they wouldn't take pictures? I wanted to just delete the ad, but it didn't show up right away, so I couldn't.

It finally went up tonight, and I right away got a very odd variation on the Nigerian scam e-mail...from a guy saying he had some wealthy client that really, really wanted to adopt my cat, and if I'd just send him bank info, he'd give me $5000 for her...and a bunch of stuff about them not using animals for experimentation.

Spooky.

I took the ad down. I'll try locally.

bastiges wouldn't let me keep the Hungarian AK I picked up... that's jest wrong...

There was a proposal floating around in congress at that time to allow each GI a "free" BATF tax stamp for one AK47 apiece. This would have been a government "freebie" so the troops could have an AK at Saddam's expense. Or if they didn't want to keep it, they could legally sell it to a Class III dealer for mucho buckos. It wouldn't have cost the taxpayer a dime.

The absolute horror expressed by liberals and rinos killed it instantly. "We don't need more guns on the streets". What they would have had was more registered automatic weapons in collections, NOT "on the streets".

I inherited my fathers "nazi memoribilia". A P38 that some German didn't need any longer. In those days, you could bring back any enemy weapon you wanted provided it was not full-auto, and you didn't bring back any ammo. No shootings on the troop ships on the way home, they thought.

That's good news... I swear... I had a vision of Corin pacing a waiting room when we talked and prayed about that earlier.

Corin... were you wearing blue sweatpants and a grey sweatshirt by any chance? If so... I'm gonna switch careers...

I know that you 3 are LOST fans, so I thought I'd share something I came across.

The LOST phenomenon has grown to such an extent that Charlie's band, DriveSHAFT actually has a website now! With a memorial page for Charlie here.

What great fun! And Dominic looks quite handsome in some of those shots!

Whoa!

I'm still amazed that he called the moment we all started praying at once. We're an unusual group of folks, but the paranormal fan in me wants to say we're "connected" in some weird, crazy way.

That is amazing, website for DriveSHAFT. Charlie had a good role again last night. Glad Doc decided to open up the briefcase.

Yeah, I was thrilled when I heard about it but just now took a look.

I'm seriously hooked on that show and everyone at work knows who my favorite character is. *grin*

Well, I'll pretend for a minute that you have no clue what we discussed earlier.

I mistakenly revealed a silly phobia (alas, another one!) I have with latex balloons. The jokes have written themselves ever since, with some reference made to ShootMoot surprises. :P

I fully expect to arrive and be promptly dumped into a deep tank of dark water filled with sharks and have a small rickety raft covered with cockroaches and balloons toosed in as my only escape.
