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!

How nice, that they emailed you!

Do you have to drive far to get it back?

They’re going to send it to me - save me a lonnnng drive. So that’s good. But I feel like a jerk for inconveniencing ‘em.

Oh well. Humiliation is good fer me. ;-) I shouldn’t be so self-conscious about foolish mistakes.

Send them back a gift card for a restaurant as a thank you. $25 at Applebees or something. Just an idea.

Glad the situation is resolved!

Dinner last night was less bad than expected.

Well, that's something. Hang in there, friend.

Time change = bad.

Having to get out the door an hour early the same Monday as time change = ungh.

We had friends in Jersey whose husband liked to tinker on cars. It was great for us! He worked for the Post Office, so I’m sure it WAS therapy for him! LOL!

You should ping the other nanoers on the wiki thing. It rules.

Time to go kill something for breakfast...

Well, it is not really the best solution for people who are only working on a story alone. It works well for collaborative stuff.

I’ve just been outlining stuff for my story but not really getting anything done.

At some point, the outlining just gets in the way of writing. That is why I do Nano every year.

But it does help to have a good outline. I like OneNote for my personal story outlining, this Wiki we set up is for a shared universe Talon and his friend came up with that I may use too.

That’s not a bad idea. Hopefully they put their address on the package...

They’re going to send it COD is possible. So at least there’s that.

Mornin’. Does it hafta be Monday - and an hour earlier than last week?

Same here...though that kind of depends on what’s meant by “up”.

I need another weekend. Didn’t even get around to grocery shopping during the one I had. Among other things.
