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!
Slug porn?
It’s not Friday is it?
No comment.
Yikes! I guess that’s one reason to be careful with my live trapping the cats idea ;~)
I hear you out there mowin’ rocks...
I’m not the rock mower this time...it’s a guy over at the store.
My rocks do need mowing, though. *sigh*
LOL! We heard the mower and said “is that Rosie mowing?” [cccrrr grind] “Yup, must be!”
Ugh, you should see our jungle.
It might be dry enough to mow, this weekend.
I got my passport today so I guess we can go to Japan in October :)
Beat me to it by 18 minutes!!
A very serious study pointing out what are considered moral failures in the Harry Potter universe, according to the author, as inspired by Pope Benedict.
Ack! Thread dementor, post #6!
And I must again ask, "Why me, O Lord?"
We went on down to VA Beach that evening, and stayed in the most awful motel room we've ever been in. I knew Day Inns are not the Ritz, but this one advertised wireless internet in the rooms. NOT. Couldn't get it in the room, then when we went to breakfast the following morning, SirKit found out that it was $11 to sign on. No thanks! We'd gotten the smoking room, cause it was the only king bed available. It wasn't so much that the room smelled like smoke, but there were cigarette burns everywhere! Folks just put the burning smoke down anywhere that was horizontal, I guess. It was a dirty room, and had bugs in it. Altogether a nasty experience.
But we did get to spend the following afternoon with SirKit's nephew and family in Richmond, so that was nice. My brother called us and offered to let us stay at his place again, and we jumped at the chance, after the motel experience the night before! So anyway, we just made it home. I'll catch up on the thread and post pictures later!
There is *nothing* worse than a rancid hotel room. I’m shuddering in sympathy. Glad you had a nice trip otherwise!
Maybe it’s that sign you wear around your neck that says “Hassle me! Please!”
I think that was the worst, most over the top article I’ve ever read. On anything.
Well, that’s quite a statement, there’s a lot of competition in the “over the top” category! (I didn’t read it... ;~D)
Good morning everyone!
I don't even know what that guy is talking about.
~word salad~ :~)
~sip~
Glad you made it home safely. Sorry the Virginia Beach accommodations were not more hospitable. You could have stayed on the beach at the Hilton four about $338 per night...
I enjoyed our visit.
Ungh...I guess I’ll read it, but I’ve read some of the author’s books and he’s a lousy writer, IMO, with no understanding of human beings. And a little paranoid to boot.
