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!
depends on whuat kinda ‘speriments you sell him for...
tru dat
But... that would mean putting her in a car. Nobody's doing that. I don't ever want to hear that sound again. And that smell... I never did truly get that smell out of my old pickup. :-)
Glad it helped! They’re good people at TAPCO....I haven’t bought anything from them in awhile, but in the past, their customer service ROCKS!
Yeah - I know. The whole thing is problematic.
Ok...I did it!
I like it that they take Paypal.
Good morning! I had an awful experience last night! Actually a series.
See, last night was the last BA CHEF meetings for the year. So as I was walking out, it was pouring...a thunderstorm with lightening all around. You know the kind...the lightening strikes, then immediately BOOM! So I’m running out of my car and see one of my fellow lady members BACK RIGHT INTO OZ! She just bumped the front bumper but of course I immediately freaked out. She and I were standing in front of the car in this hideous weather assessing the damage. All I could see was a two inch rubbed area of black on my dark gray bumper so we agreed that if I saw anything in better weather I could let her know.
So I got in the car and got about a block away and it began to rain so hard that I couldn’t see and my car was rocking in the wind. I got really nervous so I pulled into a parking lot. The wind was seriously blowing so hard that I was afraid the roof might blow off a building (as you recall, that has happened to me before.) The trees weren’t blowing in the wind, they were bent over and staying bent over in the wind.
Then it started hailing...nickel sized, not too big but it was LOUD and so I pulled over to the lee of the building and avoided most of the wind and hail because everything was blowing sideways from the west and I was on the east side of the building.
The whole time, I’ve got my cell phone and I’m hollering at Steve and he’s telling me it’s almost past. Sure enough about 10-15 minutes later it all passed and I was able to drive home.
I shook for half an hour after that.
Good grief. Is Oz okay this morning?
More importantly, are you okay?
Eek...sounds like poor Oz went out of the frying pan into the fire - hope the hail didn’t do damage. Pulling over was a good move! Glad you’re OK!
I bet you were glad to have the cell phone and Steve on the other end telling you things were almost over!
That does sound scary, glad you’re ok.
Yeah, I was ok...just shaken up. Most notably, my blood pressure didn’t go up. (I believe it’s medically shackled.)
Still, I wisht I hadn’t thrown out that box of cholesterol medicine! Heh heh...I threw it out because although they said it was ok to drink it with my meds, it never seemed to set very well when I tried.
Oh...and I couldn’t see any dings on Oz...and the rubbed spot where the lady hit it isn’t too bad. Just a black rubber transfer.
I’m kind of dreading the day something like that happens to thenewlittlecar. It’s bound to happen sooner or later, but...ugh.
In a lot of ways, fun as it is to have something new, I can’t wait until it’s five or six or ten years old. Kinda like having a new musical instrument - I’m a lot more comfortable once it’s well broken in, and once it’s gotten the first ding.
I get tired sitting here at the computer, but don't want to quick looking. When that happens when I'm looking at VW stuff or rabbitry stuff, I just take a catalog in and flip through it and take a hot soak at the same time.
That's heavenly, I tell ya. I think I'll do that here in a sec with my Bass catalog.
They're rather froo-froo for my tastes, but they do have purty catalogs, from what I can remember. I ordered ink from them once years ago and they sent me catalogs for awhile. A cool pen calendar, too, once.
Thank you!
(I’m secretly kinda froo-froo, you know...)
HA HA!! I love it.
A friend of mine was telling me she wanted to get that type of bunny last night. A small, lop-eared bunny like that. I asked her “What for? Hors d’oeuvres?”
LOL!! I love scandalizing those homeschool moms. They love it too, I think.
I’m just more likely to spend endless hours browsing ink and paper reviews than looking at pens that are more art than function. ;-) I love the ink and paper side of the bizness...
I’ve rarely met a nice journal / notebook / bottle of ink that I didn’t kinda want...which is why I have an unreasonably large collection of ink, paper I may or may not ever use, and, for the most part, a lot of inexpensive and abused pens.
I did just finish another composition notebook of story writing and am halfway through both a journal and a notebook I use for quick inspirations and brainstorming, so I do use ‘em. Like how I’m trying to justify this? ;-)
I used the one you sent me last night to fill out my paperwork to sign up for next year’s membership. No one noticed.
I was mildly disappointed.
Do you have to be online to look at ink and paper reviews?
What I need is a book.
I’ll check the library for a book.
