The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 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!

You know...something needs to change and if I didn’t feel so bad, I’d change it.

If I go in and have a test done, I think they ought to give me the test results right there. Most of the time, tests are read and interpreted by doctors and the reports are written up within minutes. Then the doctor that ordered the test gets a copy of the report. Then you might get a call, or have to make an appointment, to go in and get your results.

I think this is silly. If a patient wants their results, they ought to be able to get them without having to beg and plead and fill out a special form (signed in triplicate) and wait in line and try to explain!

I’ve managed to get all but one of my reports. I can’t get my EEG, the doctor that ordered it hasn’t seen it yet. GRRR!! I wants it! I managed to get all the other tests by trickery, mostly...acting like I knew what I was doing and getting people to help me that didn’t have a clue what they were doing...

If I felt better, I’d go after ‘em with both barrels. Change some legislation or something.

When I get to feelin’ better...I am!

I guess the Preppy is just about the cheapest I can buy, huh?

I’d really like a few more eyedropper pens like what came with my “Heart of Darkness”, but I can’t find where they’re just sold alone.

I need to get Matthew another fountain pen. His Preppy was in his Bible cover (the one that is missing, presumed stolen). He’s using the eyedropper pen I got with the ink now, but I like it and want it back! LOL!

Steve made off with the Rotring Core Technor. I still have my pink Preppy and of course the pen you sent me...

I think the Preppys are easy to convert to eyedroppers, but I’ve not tried it. That’d probably be the cheapest way to go...

I think some folks were just using a little silicone grease to seal the threads of the body. Might be worth a shot! It’d be a pretty cheap experiment, anyhow.

I've heard of "going the extra mile", but the extra hour?

fail owned pwned pictures
see more pwn and owned pictures

And, some good advice (like keeping your car tires inflated), but I doubt that was the main subject of the letter:

Heh... I saw a text version of that posted on another FR thread a few days ago, with a man's name in place of "Miriam", under the title "Why Men Don't Write Advice Columns".

Heh...your boys are funny.

Not often that I have really funny stories about mine, but here is one about thenewboy. We are reading together, and he is doing really well. He read the word Hut, and I stopped him and asked him if he knew what a hut was... He says, “Yea, Jabba the Hut”...and he started laughing. I told him that was funny, and then explained to him what one was. I should write a book on teaching your boys to read by the Star Wars method.

Ack! The newboy is starting to read? Can’t believe he’s old enough already. Seems like just yesterday you were washing him in the sink at the Castle!

Well, I'm signing off for a few days. We're leaving at 5am for the Sunny South, and I don't know if I'll be able to get to a computer for chatting much while I'm down there. I'll be back on the 23rd, after getting Joseph settled at USM and Clare off to Ave Maria. The house sure will be quiet when they're gone!

Later gators!

No kidding...Swisher wrote me back and said the eyedropper pens are $6 each!

I don't mind the Preppy...it has a refillable cartridge you can purchase separately.
