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!

Kind of a drag to buy a washer you'll hardly use before you leave...but it'll be nice for the new folks!

I'll be happy when someday I can get a dryer that turns off when its done...

We thought our drying was going at first because we were having to run the load of clothes through the dryer twice to get them done. Turns out, it was likely the fact that the spin capability of the old washer was going, and they were too wet going into the dryer. This new one spins them and they feel half dry before they even go into the dryer!

We got the washer for about half the retail price cause we got it at the Sears Appliance Outlet store. It's a 'scratch and dent' place. The appliances have some dinks and stuff, but work just fine. I don't care what it looks like, it's going to be in the laundry room!

Have you seen the Hussein/South Park thread? I was wondering if they've shown him Team America yet.

We've seen ~one~ of them, it's been posted a few times now :~) Pretty funny. Team America would be funny, but The South Park movie is ~personal~ Saddam has a starring role. :~)

Good morning everyone! :~D

I thought you were done with work. No?

Well, see, I was gonna be done last week until I thought about the incompleteness of my project, the niceness of an extra week's salary, and the bleak, bleak prospect of a not nearly busy enough week spent not stepping on Mom's toes. So I'm working until Friday.

Wouldn't you think that if the office is closed tomorrow that I should have the day off too? :-D

I think you should offer to have them forward all their calls to you.

In other news, Nana's afflictions of the weekend continue, but they've moved to a new ~location~.

So to speak.

Lovely. *And* you'll probably get hit by this hurricane, right?

Ernesto is being a little tricksey. I don't think they know for sure what we'll get. Most likely just a lot of rain. But we need that.

Well, it looks like Ernesto decided to give it up. :-D

That's a very good thing.

Indeed, though it'll still be bad weather, it doesn't look like worrisome bad.
