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!

Heh. "Texas Road Kill" reminded me of the drive down to g'nad's. OB says,"Wow! Dead armadillo this far north? Musta been a mild winter." or something to that effect.

I'm completely astounded. I mean, I haven't even thought about it in YEARS! I haven't hardly been back since I left and moved to Austin after nursing school.

I didn't like the way life was going during that time of my life...Moving to Austin was the best thing I ever did.

I love 'em. They have bad eyesight. They used to walk right by Matthew and I when we lived on the river. We'd just sit quiet and watch 'em snuffling go by.

I've eaten 'em. In chili. I wouldn't now, knowing what I know!

Ouch, that's gotta hurt! Something sprained or will it be better after some rest and ibuprofin?

Lead paint? Well, just don't lick the walls...

Not sure. I am using some Icy-Hot and Tylenol and resting but it does not seem to have let up much. I might have to get it looked at. I still think it is a pulled muscle though. It got sore after the drive down to ShootMoot and was bugging me a bit all week. Then a swing at a wild pitch messed something up pretty good er.. bad.

They'll probably send you to a chiropractor to get beaten into shape.

Gah, made the serious mistake of taking a walk to B&N in bad socks. Thought these were the good ones - go figure, I put them on before my caffeine this morning. Now my feet will be sore for two days. Oh well, that's two mild cardio this week.

And just found out my dad will be in Denver on business next week, so I get to see him. He wasn't going to tell me because he didn't want me to feel obligated to come say hi. Silly man.

~sigh~ Ain't that the truth.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

The happiest day of my life will be when I see Miami for the last time in my rear view mirror.

BTW, you didn't mind me stealing a line from your post the other day for a tagline, did ya? :-D

No! It's a compliment! I love it.

Here's another position...

IIRC, this is a pretty area of Texas...

Doncha hate it when they don't post the salary? It's a big pet peeve of mine from back in my recruiting days.

How do you expect to attract qualified applicants if you aren't willing to tell them what they'd be making?

Yeah, it's irritating. Why waste our time? Even a ballpark figure would be nice.

Exactly.

It's gotten so ALL companies do that. You can check the Sunday paper and the only jobs that actually list the pay are the $8/hr jobs.

Lot of good that does.

You know, this may sound silly, but on the one hand, I'm very excited about Steve finishing, but on the other hand, I'm very anxious about what it might mean. I mean, in the past, when we had to move, it was no big deal...we were never really unpacked! But we are entrenched in this house and I don't know how on earth to move something like this!

So I alternate between excitement/impatience and anxiety/dread!
