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!

I was gonna go fer that but when I hit refresh you done had it!

Nicely snaiged.

[JenB]

You killed it...

[Corin Stormhands]

It was already ailin' when I got here...

[Ramius]

It's not dead... it's feeling better...

[Corin Stormhands]

It's just jesting...

[JenB]

It'll be dead in a minute...

[Lil'freeper]

Ok. Some photos of yourself you just have to keep private. :P

In other news, I believe my sweet hubby has just pulled a Walter E. Williams and got me a vacuum cleaner fer my birthday. That rascal.

[ecurbh]

Hair and I just got back from dinner and pints... ~hic~

[JenB]

That's no fun... you didn't ask for a vacuum did you?

Just for future reference, love, if you get me cleaning supplies for my birthday I will not be amused ;-)

[Overtaxed]

Somebody stole his elf shoes.

[Lil'freeper]

No, I did not ask for a vacuum cleaner. And I told him when I married him that if he wants a housekeeper he'll have to hire one - lol.

[Corin Stormhands]

***rummages around to see if he still has ~the picture~***

[JenB]

Hehehe, I don't mind housekeeping but getting appliances for presents is right out. Unless it's a vacuum that doubles as a flamethrower of course.

[Overtaxed]

Not even if it sucks like a black hole?

[Corin Stormhands]

God bless them all.

Sorry, I had to redact a bit. Here it is, again:

Please keep our unit in your prayers. On 2 Jul 06, we lost one of own, CW3 Tim F. (second pilot from the left on the Apache in the photo) when an Apache crashed on a mission. Keep his family, wife Cass, two children Megan (10) Brodie (7) in your prayers for the loss of their father.

Thanks, JP

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh dear... Thank you winmag, and Tim F's family is in our prayers.

[JenB]

Especially not then.

Toasters, being evil, are permitted as gifts.

[SuziQ]

I always got nice kitchen appliances for Mother's Day. My family knows what side THEIR bread's buttered on! ;o)

As I tell SirKit, he likes good tools for his workshop, and I like good tools for my workshop, too!
