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! |

damn...wish I'd thought of that.
So, now we have a story of a flying skunk and a chicken/dog better known as chog.

Yep...sounds like what I'd do...
I have XP...any time I go to install some new gadget, I put in a system restore point so that if I find it necessary to uninstall I can go all the way back, registry and all.
Right now the HD from my last computer is in a USB-connected enclosure, and I use it as a 40GB mass storage :)

Yeah, and that's how we upgraded Rose's system to XP... installed a second HD and made it a dual boot system.
Incidentally, Rose has the new video card in her system now. One of the things we tried was taking the video card out of her system and putting it into mine (since it was identical to the one that went bad in my system). It didn't work, since it was the driver that was the problem, not the card itself.

The coolest thing about the launcher would be the satisfying and loud "Phhooont" sound it makes. :-)

We've been pricing hard drives, and we can get an 80 Gb drive fairly cheap. That's twice what I have in my system right now.

You know anything about this new USB 3 standard coming out? I've just heard some asides and haven't researched it yet. Sounds like it is going to be lots faster. Fast enough maybe to boot and run from.
That changes some things, if true.

Hey all - Kitty question. We'd like to get a couple kittens to help with mousing, and there's a litter available that will be ready in a few weeks.
I have never had good luck introducing another cat into a house that already has a cat, but I did have a good experience with our old orange Tom (neutered) and a lost kitten that was here for a few days awhile ago... so I became hopeful that he might accept a kitten, maybe better than adopting an another adult cat.
Though there was a certain amount of friction....
At other times he seemed almost maternal.
They'd be indoor/outdoor on our little farm, but encouraged to spend time in the barn, where the mice are, once they grow up.
If we have a choice, would you suggest that two females might be better than trying to bring in another male? Or does it make a difference?

Haven't heard anything about it here. Rose says she heard some rumblings about it some time back, but at that time the specs hadn't been decided yet.
To: HairOfTheDog
IMHO, it doesn't make much of a difference if they've been spayed/neutered.
And the cost of neutering a male cat is much less than a female.
And never the worry of an unexpected early litter!

Yep, all I have is 40 Gb right now... it's what we put in the systems when we built them three years ago. It's been enough until now, but I'm getting to the point where I could use the extra space.
To: HairOfTheDog
I can't remember but one instance where we absolutely failed in getting two cats to at least tolerate one another, and that was an adult unneutered maie that was really territorial being brought into a house that already had a cat that thought he was tops.
What's worked for me, personally, is to put the new cat in one room of the house with their own litter box and all for a few days. The cats can smell one another, but not fight. And after a few days, I'd bring the new cat out to explore the house and put the other cats in the room the new cat had been occupied for an hour or so to sniff around.
And then eventually they meet face to face and there's usually a certain amount of posturing, and in the case of Halvah and Cleo, they were never friends...but they did get along. And that was an adult on adult deal. Usually when it's been kittens, they learn to get along pretty well.
