• Thirty-second thread: The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain

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!

I have decided the flour part of the cookie is chia flour.

Chia???

[Lil'freeper]

Exactamundo.

[Rocko]

Present.

Well, howbouthat - new thread; Thanks for the PING. Cyn decided to say hello.

Place looks nice, well, it won't take long to get that 'lived in' look some of us appreciate.

[RosieCotton]

Looks like I'm late to the party!

Izzit Friday yet?

[JenB]

Based on the title of this thread, I expect either you or Corin to get flooded out next month.

[RosieCotton]

Except...we ain't the ones on the plain...

[JenB]

We're well above the river... not exactly a flood zone here.

[ExGeeEye]

There we are...

[Corin Stormhands]

I'm here.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, keep things under control here for me... I've stirred up a hornet's nest over at the horse forum :~)

[RosieCotton]

Kewl...what about?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Just watched the last two episodes of "Lost", and enjoyed them both, although I enjoyed last week's ep (with Hugo and the microbus) better. Still, good to get back to the more interesting characters on the island!

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh yeah - we have a LOST to watch! I forgot! Rosie... how about tomorrow earlier?

[HairOfTheDog]

Whether or not one should stand on their horse... believe it or not :~)

Standing up on your horse - Cool or Careless?

[RosieCotton]

Tomorrow would be OK - or this weekend.

I have cookies if the DVR didn't work...

[RosieCotton]

Dang...nine pages? Wouldn't have thought it'd create so much controversy.

IMO, I'd go with careless. More than careless - stupid. Even on a really well trained horse, it still strikes me as rather like using a reallllly tall wheeled office chair to reach that thing way at the back of the shelf - only the chair has a mind of its own. Wouldn't take much to end in disaster, even without factoring in hurting the horse.

But that's just me.

[HairOfTheDog]

Go figure :~)

C came over and helped me set up my DVDR. So that's done, no more stacks of VCRs, no more tapes to change out every morning.

I am exhausted however. Totally wiped out.

Gonna finish off the cholesterol medicine and take a hot soak and hit the hay.

Gotta go to the doctor tomorrow afternoon. Oh joy.

[SuziQ]

I like having the DVR. As long as you set the timer, it does great!
