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!

Yah. AD is not meant to secure its data. It is a data *sharing* tool. It's sorta like accusing a phone book of not being secure. Its whole purpose in life is to publish stuff that is put in there.

Thanks, I'll tell her. They had a great time. The last one left about 15 minutes ago. They enjoyed the pizza and cake, and wiped out 4 bags of snacks and 8 2 liter sodas. I forgot to put out the M&Ms, though. Oops!! Somehow, I don't think they missed them.

You do not have pointy hair. ;-)

No... but I do have this nifty new laptop that my staff got for me. All I have to do is shake it, and it reboots. Neato. :-)

Thanks, Ruthy! She's still downstairs, playing video games. I don't even know what she got as gifts from her friends cause she opened them downstairs. One I do know about was a 'lucky bamboo' plant from her best friend, Erin, cause I saw it when she arrived tonight.

Is it red with a gray screen?

I love those! So lightweight and user-friendly.

I'm jealous of the co-worker that recently got an upgrade to one of these though....

I'm so glad she had a great time!

And I caught that about you "forgetting" the M&Ms. I do that all the time, but I forget on purpose and feel so bad about it, I eat them all. :-D

Well... yah... of course I'd love one.

I'd also love to have a Ferrari Daytona. In Red. While we're at it.... maybe a yacht in the Polynesian islands fully crewed by the swedish bikini team.

OK... OK... that's unrealistic. Only half the crew. A man's gotta know his limitations.
