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!
Heh, it’s on our Netflix list. We’re making our way through Babylon 5, then we’ll get back into the regular movies. ;o)
Just finishing up Season 4. Marcus; I cried.
That was very well written, much food for thought, in these times. Thanks very much.
When our #2 son was home at Christmas, he suggested it, because I have real trouble with the house getting too dry with the forced hot air system. He said don't hold it against the product because the chick demonstrating it at the site looks like a zombie. ;o) I picked one up at our local nuts and twigs store, and dang if it doesn't work like a charm! I'm having much less difficulty with spasmodic coughing. I thought it was being brought on by my heart meds, but it was from post nasal drip. Using the Neti Pot, I'm cleaning my sinus passages each day, and I'm breathing SO much better! You only have to use a bit of regular or kosher salt in the water, not anything special, but I did buy some zinc drops to put in it, and it cleared my cold up! It feels kinda funky at first, like you went under water and got the water up your nose, but it truly does go through. My ears have popped a couple of times, but I figure that's because the pressure in my sinuses is being relieved.
Check it out!
Lost is on!
LOL! Just how many cats are IN that pile? I see four heads, but only one body.
Are you coming over for LOST tonight?
I wasn’t sure I was going to make it earlier, we had a fairly sleepless night here last night, but I think now that we’ll still be awake ;~)
They’re replaying last week’s show at 8 - new episode at 9.
I’m too emotionally distracted for it tonight... but I’ll go back and read that tomorrow, perhaps over coffee :~)
Lost is really, really good tonight!
AH - good! Worth staying up for then. :~D
Sure!
I’m glad it’s at nine this year...
Are you watching last week’s repeat too?
Yeah - we’ll be watching that too if you want to come over early.
Uh, nasal wash sounds a little... interesting.
Like. Wow.
Yup! I said that several times while watching that episode!
Yeah, it certainly sounds like it could work, just - I have problems getting water up my nose when swimming or in the shower, not sure I could do it for health. Though if the choice was that or can’t-breathe....
