The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

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!

Lessee...I'm arguing on a Rick Warren thread, arguing with a guy who just doesn't get it on a Philadelphia thread and arguing on the thread about the guys who peed on the memorial.

I'm thinkin' I might as well go ahead and jump on that Spanish McDonald's billboard thread.

Thoughts? Comments?

Throw caution to the wind! Maybe take on people who think we should boycott the new pirate movie.

:~)

We've gotten our spare bedroom cleaned out of all the frap that's been stored in there, heck, it'd be almost welcoming if it had a bed in it :~)

Ooo! There's a pirate thread???

I've been slowly working in Luke's room. Since he's gone it's time for a purging of clothes and toys.

Jr's room is next. But I'm letting it air out first.

Well, I got a very polite email back from Ebay, and they assured me that I had not been reported. But my inclination is that someone is trying to drum up business and reporting other homeschoolers. I'm pretty intuitive. (I had to be, growing up...you never knew when the rug would be jerked out from under ya.) That original email I posted on this topic just set up all kinds of red flags in my spirit!

They did mention that some of the actual dealers of this material had complained. Well, I tell ya, when BJUP sells me a 1st Grade Spelling Teacher's Edition that is heavily stained with what may or may not be water for 99 cents, I'll buy it. Otherwise, I'm not paying 23 bucks for a flimsy paperback TE that I can get (admittedly stained) for 99 cents from Ebay!

Ebay said I should submit input...they might change the policy.

A lot gets by 'em, though...I'll try again later this summer. I had no bids on it yet, though people were watching it. It went several days without being pulled. Perhaps I'll shorten the auction time...

I'm sorry. I couldn't read your post.

Must be the clouds in my eyes.

As long as it's not a history of the Canadian War Memorial...

Oh, and I have two bids on my Saxon Phonics...it's going for 41.99 right now. I'm making note of the highest bidder's user name and I will contact them if it gets pulled and offer it for whatever they last bid on it. I don't care, I got it for free and I'm already $41.99 ahead!
