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!
So....where are all the fancy channels they’re promising?
Well good for you! Did he hear you or were you whispering ;~)
Good for you!
I guess I can let you live... fer now...
How’s Sam doing? Does he like pumpkin?
I called the cops on the fireworks last night. They were firing them off after we went to bed, at almost 11. That’s it. I gave them a weekend to freely annoy me, now I’ve declared it enough. Even if I could sleep through the fireworks, I can’t sleep through Gidget barking at them or Homer clawing at me and whining.
Congratulations!
But don’t whisper — say it loud and proud!
What, did they drink too much over the weekend and forget to shoot off the rest of their fireworks? Goobers sometimes just don’t think.
I gave him a few spoonfuls of boiled beef and rice last night. He ate that. But we didn’t try the pumpkin.
Mrs. said he had to go out about every hour last night (she was downstairs and just stayed down there with him). She was going to try the pumpkin this morning.
I spent the morning in DMVHell.
My license expired on my birthday. I forgot about it until we were at the beach. I tried to renew online but couldn’t since I had to have the vision test again. So I went first thing this morning.
After 30 minutes I was called. He filled out all the paperwork and then said “you need to have a passport or birth certificate since your license has expired.” Of course I had neither.
So I went home to get the birth certificate. I found one for Not Valerie, Jr. and Luke, along with Not Valerie’s passport and our marriage certificate. But no copy of my birth certificate. I didn’t look for my passport since it expired in 1993. So I went to vital records.
At vital records I got the new birth certificate by using my expired driver’s license as my I.D. Then I went back to DMV and got back in line. I have my license now.
I understand the rules. And since Virginia issued a majority (if not all) of the driver’s licenses for the 9/11 hijackers, I appreciate the rules.
Still, I read the paperwork while I was waiting. I could have used my passport that expired 15 years ago to validate my driver’s license that expired four days ago.
Somethin’ there just ain’t right.
Now that's funny.
That's government for you.
*snort*
Hurray! I'm proud of ya'.
Alas, I went through a similar rigamarole not too long ago. Took an afternoon off work to sit at the DMV only to find out that the name on my DL didn't match social security's name for me so they couldn't renew me. Hugh mix-up that's never been a problem for oh, say, the last decade. So they say, get your marriage certificate and go to the SSA. So I take another afternoon off work to sit at the SSA to work through the name snafu. Then I take another afternoon to go sit at the DMV where I find out I could have taken my marriage certificate directly there to use as 'proof' of my name change. Argh. Regardless I spent the time at both locations wishing I knew more Spanish because it was ESL day at the DMV and 'bring your anchor baby to the SSA' day at the other place. Verdad.
If we were that incompetent at our jobs, we’d be swiftly fired.
Yes, we’re glad to hear it and don’t let ‘em wear ya down. OB & LSA
It’s the DMV, it doesn’t have to make sense. :-)
