The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Also, he’s off that day because of my orientation, but I will be home by the time he goes (or shortly thereafter).

So he doesn’t even have to ask for the day off!

Stopping in this afternoon with a shameless plug for www.snapfish.com, just in case any of you who take a lot of pictures are looking for gift ideas.

We've ordered prints from them several times, and have marveled every time at how fast they are, and how nice their prints come out. I just ordered this picture of Bay in 11x14 for my wall, and it's gorgeous.

We also ordered our Christmas Cards from them, using our group photo, we ordered a couple 8x10s of our group picture without the hats too, to give as gifts to family, and they threw in a few free prints.

In looking around their store, they have all kinds of cool stuff, personalized calendars where you can insert as many pictures as you want, mugs, mousepads... just lots of cool stuff. And they're fast.

Shameless plug, but I think they've done really good business and I wanted to pass it along.

Good to know!

Positive word of mouth is good business for them. You should write them and let them know that you’ve very pleased with their product and you’re telling friends about them. I’ve found that companies receive so many complaints that they’re usually thrilled to hear from someone who’s happy.

Lotta times they’ll send you a coupon or something...not that it’s why you should do it or anything. But they usually are very happy to hear from you.

Looks like your bank’s new system is in Beta testing. So now you are a software tester.

Spray me with a hose, I’m gonna rant!!

LOL! Yeah, I pay all my bills with Bill Payer at our Credit Union. I usually double check to make sure what I set up actually gets paid. I love the service. When a bill comes in, I immediately set up the pay date, and mark it as 'set up to pay'. That way, I don't have to worry about it getting lost on the top of my desk.

That’s great newz on the tests; we’ve worked with them before, the folks seemed quite competent and quality minded there. Steve would fit in well.

That’s great news on Junior’s car, simple is always better than complex.

That's quite a handsome and happy horse in that picture. Not the same as the waterlogged, miserable horse whose picture you posted a few days ago.

Of course, I'd look waterlogged and miserable in those circumstances, too.

Sometimes a shower and a good grooming makes all the difference :~)

I am hereby tendering my resignation as the “Voice of Reason.”

As long as we are making proclamations... I find the "youtube" presidential debate format embarrassing and unwatchable. We turned it off. If I watch any more I'll decide they're ALL yahoos.
