The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

With hardwood floors we just sweep up all the pet hair into a new critter and find it a good home.

But, speaking of that, have you guys tried the "Furminator?" It's a specially designed brush for pets. A friend who sells medical supplies to vets got one for me.

It's amazing. Pictures on the website are not photoshopped. That's the way it looks when I've used the thing on Sam.

Sam loves it. The cat's not so sure.

Hmmm...

We have wads of dog hair that just appear everywhere. They clog the vents and show up weird places... I don't vacuum nearly enough, either. And the front curtains are covered in cat hair.

We were re-hanging curtains on Christmas day because we had to take them down and wash them. The cat gets up on the loveseat next to the curtains. The curtains were gray.

In their natural state, they're green.

Have mercy!

I don't go in for Valentines Day much. I mean, I don't need an excuse to eat chocolate, I just eat it when the mood strikes me. But I keep telling my jedis that they might marry someone that it means a lot to and they'll just have to deal with it.

...C took her son to Build a Bear so he could build a bear for his ahem, 12th birthday. When she told me I dang near died. I wanted to say to her "Are you out of your mind?"

The Furminator is supposed to reduce natural shedding by 90%.

Well, you're right, a lot of women are sort of hard to figure out. I don't understand 'em myself.

I'm easy, Talon just has to get me something he'd like and I'm usually happy.

Yeah, that'll work until the day he brings home a 17-year-old blonde...

Like I've said before...one of the nicest things Steve ever gave me was making sure I had a cup of hot coffee waiting every morning when I got up.

I appreciate it every single day.

He's not stupid... he's shown me how to use all the guns...

Besides, it's not like he has a record of meeting strange younger women on the internet or anything.

"Homo sapiens are already a terrible failure and at this point we can only make matters worse by consuming & polluting the rest of the world in order to save our technology via the self-exterimination of the humankind.

Unless he immediately removed himself from the population pool after posting that (using accursed technology), he's a hypocrite. And a nutcase.

I think the "nutcase" was already pretty clear.

Well, to be fair, I am pretty fortunate that a dozen rozes looks ~really good~ on the piano. But I just balk at the ~prices~.

The Mother's Day bunch is here in the promness picture.

Tell her you enrolled her in the "rose of the month club" and give her one rose a month for the next year.
