The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Don't make me turn this thread around.

I'm no hobbit. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Just wrap the pill up in a cream cheese ball.

Most of the time, I make them sit - pretending it's a treat.

Then, just toss it at them and usually they gulp it down.

I didn't hear about any international incidents, so I guess the UN thing went smoothly...

You've been waiting for two or three hours, only to fail now? I think that's the worst thing I ever heard. How marvelous.

They're still investigating. Don't wanna report until they have a plan.

Oh, ok.

Shudder. Dealt with DemonLady. Have to deal with her more later. I hate Mondays.

One doesn't need witnesses to conduct an investigation... it does help...

Sigh, apparently my advisor thinks I've had enough laziness. He wants me to start studying background research and stuff and come up with a thesis proposal by the end of the summer. Guess he wants me to get my masters' next spring or something. Slavedriver.

Heh. My samples that didn't run Friday due to a leaky pump didn't run far on Saturday either. Lousy computer error!

He's not allowed to growl or snap at you for looking in his mouth. I've got a way I'd fix that, but I don't have a way to explain it from here, and I'd hate to recommend it not knowing the dog.

Every dog I've had prior to Homer, I've just pried them open and shoved the pills in. Homer is a difficult patient too (only he panics and squirms away) but we've been able to get pills in him on occasion by just wrapping it in lunch meat.

Yes, we did get of very easy.... It's a relief, I wasn't expecting they'd replace the tire for free... that's a good warranty.... We really lucked out.

I was just really not looking forward to finding a matching rim.
