The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Lovely.

Well, maybe he’s mistaken. The mechanic down the street was mistaken about Steve’s truck.

Well, getting more info, it sounds like it’s the head gasket. They’re having it towed back to our mechanic in Richmond. So we’ll go from there.

Mrs. was all upset about it “ruining their day.” I had to ‘splain that was the least of their/our worries.

Oh and BTW, Luke’s babysitter’s daughter has chicken pox. And yes, they’ve all had the vaccine...

It’s a wonderful life.

Head gasket is not so bad. Tell Jr to change it. It is never too soon to learn.

I don’t have faith in my doctor anymore...

I hear ya! Educate yourself, be brave, and use docs as tools to help you accomplish your goals. And never forget that you're *always* in charge of your health.

You're doing good - and you have our prayers.

I take a 5mg tablet of lisinopril once a day. I think that’s a pretty low dose. That’s my ACE inhibitor. The carvedilol (Coreg) is the Alpha-Beta blocker, and I take two 6.25mg tablets a day.

That really is...I was taking 20mg twice a day when I was taking it. I wish she’d given a chance to work.

Yah, but that’s for *everything*.

I don't much like having everything mixed together either. Makes it hard to see the news for all the chat comments, etc.

Exactly. It’s driving me nuts!

Home from work. Dog has been fed. I’m drinking coffee and eating roasted cauliflower pretty much straight out of the baking dish. I aren’t very civilized some days.
