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!

Good to be around again, and expect to be here pretty much regularly. They tried the ankle surgery, but they wanted to put me on a ventilator, and couldn't force it down my throat, past my goiter, after trying for an hour. Also the operation they planned would have taken about 4 1/2 hours, dangerous with my general health. If the brace doesn't work, or if I get more foot damage, they probably will do the amputation.

So have there been any big feuds or controversies on FR since April?

Heh...we won't get into certain feuds with certain posters.

But, you do still like The Beatles, right?

I bought some body spray...I found it at the dollar store and it smelled like a light soapy smell, so I went ahead and bought it. Well, it had a slap naked woman on the bottle...a metal cannister type aerosol bottle you know? Well, she was slap naked from the waist up and she had her arms barely over her in critical spots, you know?

I took a Sharpie and drew her nice black t-shirt! LOL! I swear, if you don't look very closely, you would never know it didn't come that way!

When we got Gypsy she didn't bark for 6 months, not even a small woof. I had to have the air-conditioning repairman in, and she just sat on her bed and stared at him. It freaked him out much worse than if she had barked.

Don't know if she was beaten or just had a anti-bark collar, but she finally realized it was okay to be a dog and bark occassionally. Her first barks were very high-pitched and tight, they are much more normal now :-) LSA

For a minute there I thought you said

...it said "slap a naked woman" on the bottle...

That would be rude.

As y'all know I went to a very conservative private college (let's keep the name out of it). I was on the yearbook staff.

Each year the senior music majors gave a recital. One of the sopranos wore a very very low cut spaghetti strap gown. I'm not even sure how she got away with wearing it on campus. Yea verily, it did cleaveth much.

Since this was in the days before photoshop, the editor and the photographer spent an evening with a magic marker until they finally got a version that looked like a nice mesh "filler."

So to speak.
