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!
Monday again.
It took a good three minutes after the alarm this morning to remember that unsavory fact.
Monday.
I don’t wanna.
Take a closer look...
He's an annoying @$$.
Also sorry.
But don’t your Monday mean your end of the week “event” is a bit closer?
For me Monday is also Tuesday since I’m off on Friday...
Hence the "crazed-deer-in-the-headlights" expression on his face. :P Teasin'!
I'm checking a couple items off my "outprocessing" form today. That has put me in a nice frame of mind.
I have so much to do this week, it’s not funny. Plus a cold. Ungh.
Izzit Friday yet?
It’d better not be, I have way too much to do before then.
Sure! You want to order in or go out and see how long it takes for us to get noticed by a waitress at Farellis?
Oh - and good morning :~)
When’s yer final day?
And good morning to you too :~)
We’ve got to call the vet this morning and see if it’s too early for Homer to go on another round of steroids. He’s drivin’ us nuts itching again.
He’s allergic to something in this house.
Luke's had a cold this past week and kept trying to tell me it was dog hair or cat hair so he wouldn't have to take his medicine.
I said "Okay, if you don't want to take the medicine we'll just get rid of the cat and the dog."
He said he'd miss them...
;-)
Must be baaaaad medicine. ;~)
We gave him a bath last night that should have helped. I wonder if he’s allergic to the cats... or our laundry soap. I dunno, but I can’t wait for the vets to open.
Just started a mega-heap-big fight this morning... I'll be going out fighting, that's for sure.
Very cool little history lesson!
Heh...I still think it looks like a cow pie. ;-)
The Smith Corona’s were available in colors (I want a pink one...) by the end of the 50s, but still had that sort of melted, lumpy shape. The ones from the 30s and 40s were far prettier. This one, for example:

We need to get Sam in for bath and grooming. We can’t bathe him inside in the winter...okay I suppose we could, but we don’t want to.
Ditto...
Wouldn't seem right any other way.
