The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

Do you have your IE security level cranked up? You might try setting that site as an exception to your IE security settings.

Hampsters. Yes, of course. Couldn't think of it. I knew it wasn't chipmunks but I couldn't think of hampsters.

The hampster dance still makes me smile, though.

I'm still fretting. Especially about the income and benefits and such boxes. I wasn't sure how to enter a lot of that info, and didn't, except in a rudimentary way. And didn't think to ask much about it.

*fret*

But I suppose having at least the names in the system is better than nothing. I hope. But now I'm worrying that the stack of stuff I worked on will be filed already, and I won't be able to just go back through them if I goofed.

[Pretty good.]

What are you talking about! Badgers deserve our tax dollars....they are an important part of the ecosystem! You just want to destroy the environment and our farming economy and make us more dependent on China!

Heh...the net admin guy at my last job liked to occasionally get out a hampster dance MP3 and just BLAST it, usually first thing in the morning. It kept things interesting, in any case.

hehehehe...

It does mean "old clothes" but it's derived from the way it looks.

Shredded beef sauteed in tomato sauce with green peppers and onions. Some folks add more or less ingredients to it, but I like mine with peppers and onions. :-D

There you go with your Chinese Badgers again. Like a broken record. A free market lifts all badgers.

Seems like it was good enough to have a sequel.

It is really good.

Especially when you make sandwiches out of it.

They're used to incomplete information. I wouldn't fret.

None of those suggestions have helped. (and I do mean NONE, XGI).

I went through this once before. I just can't remember what the hangup was.
