The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

Well, there are ways to kick them out of being broody, but if I recall they always seemed inhumane to me. I'd just keep doing what you're doing...just kick her out now and then. It might shorten it. That's what I did with Jar Jar, but i don't think it really did any good!

Something like putting them in a dark box for 24 hours or so...or a cage or something...

Here's some good info:

I've been having some rather heated arguments all day that are more depressing than fun.

...and g'nad is blastin' bunnies for grins. If he hits one we'll probably be treated with a picture of it's blasted little body.

I think I'll go hit the couch with my husband.

Don't hit the couch with your husband! It might hurt your husband and it sure might break your couch! Hit the couch with a pillow if you must hit the couch. Move the dog and or cat outta the way first.
