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!

She can't either click and delete them or grab them and move them to another folder and delete them there?

It's a hatchback sedan. If the rear roofline was squared off, it would be a station wagon. It is slightly less eco-yuppie than a Volvo, but don't push it by putting a NRA or FR sticker on it.

Y'all can't go into the outbox folder and delete? Hmm. Something sounds fishy.

Glad to hear that! You deserve it. I know your family will be happy you're keeping normal hours too.

I am pretty sure I have some place to be that evening. Not sure where... but I am sure there was something.

I'm pretty sure we've got some reservations in a hotel somewhere for that evening. I hope my husband is ok with that ;-)

Doh! I'm such a moron.

I went back in and realized that the way she had the view set up she couldn't see the folders. I changed the view. Problem solved. I just didn't ~see~ the Outbox folder so it didn't make any sense.

I'm not supposed to tell you that she spent all day on this...so I won't.

You got us a suite with a big TV, right?

PTL that is wonderful news indeed. "gotta werk in the AM" has a whole lot different meaning following 'midnites'. Congratulations and well deserved two thumbs up. OB & LSA

Well, to be fair, I'd only gone on what she'd been telling me since yesterday. I didn't have a chance to look at it until tonight.

Still, it's embarrassing that I even had to ask...

It's been nice knowin' y'all. Since the world ends tomorrow, everybody should play some backgammon.

Or at least have ice cream...

Good Night and Good Luck.

It was a good world, while it lasted!

I'm glad you're with us...at the end of all things.
