The New Hobbit Hole

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

There's also the feeling of accomplishment that comes with getting the Precious without spamming....

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes, I need to practice. There was a pamplet that came with it with a fingering chart... and it has a couple songs, like "Frere Jacques" and "twinkle Twinkle little star", but when I try, it appears to make a sound that is unrelated to the holes! Sometimes it makes the same sound no matter which holes I cover! [shakes head]

"You know how to whistle, don't you?"

Cover the holes properly and keep the mouthpiece unclogged.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes, there is! A feeling of accomplishment. Which should remind us that feeling good has nothing to do with actual productive accomplishment! ;~D

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Cover the holes properly and keep the mouthpiece unclogged.

Hmmm... that's not how I remember the quote... but then I haven't seen the movie in a while....

[Overtaxed]

Hehehehe

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I feel like I got some real work done today, so now it's time to play...

And I have to leave in about a half hour...

Corin, that thread you pinged us to 'Florida Voters Pick Democrat to Challenge Jeb Bush', with the fun keywords has gone the way of all such threads -- never never land

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

You know how to whistle, don't you?

Should have done that in the first place!

I think g'nad is out of town, but Sam is visiting the Pentagon tomorrow!:

From TheOneRing.net™:

Sean Astin To Head 9/11 Ceremonies Tomorrow
9/10/02, 1:51 pm EST - Xoanon

Sean Astin (Sam) himself asked us to post this open letter to all Ringer fans, and specifically those in the DC area:


"First a big "Thank You" to all the fans for their support and concern.

I would love to have Ringer fans in the D.C. area come out and show their support. This event is all about the community and is very important to me. These people have asked me to help celebrate the idea of Community Service. I want to demonstrate with my own actions that Community Service is important, especially now. It means so much to give back to the community and I greatly appreciate you all coming to join the spirit of our gathering while we celebrate this idea.

I will be at the Pentagon in the morning, with the President. Then I hope to see all you Ringers come out to the Mall where we have our event at the Lincoln Memorial. -- Sean Astin" [More]

Naughty Beorn! Anglefire doesn't like hot links. I got a "Sorry!" page.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

oh, I didn't know that, sorry!

making a mental note, "no more links from Angelfire".

[HairOfTheDog]

Angelfire is snooty.

[Overtaxed]

Angelfire is snooty.

Run by Elves, no doubt.

[HairOfTheDog]

I give you these openings to give you the opportunity to take the high road, you know....

[Overtaxed]

I'll take the high road if you don't mind taking the low road and I'll be in Scotland before you!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

I just found out a couple of days ago, my ISP is no longer letting me upload files to my website... time to find a new ISP. Then I'll be able to download and host those little files myself, and get around those hotlink problems.

[Overtaxed]

Are they not hosting any more or did you reach some sort of limit?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

It's a complicated story... my original ISP got bought out by another ISP about a year ago, but nothing really changed except the name of the company I was sending money to. Then, they got bought out by a third ISP, about 2 months ago, and this new company is making radical changes to the service levels, types of service available, etc. They're hosting my existing files, for now, but won't let me upload new files unless I upgrade my service. The changes they've made have usually been done with little or no notice, their customer support is horrible, etc., etc. So, I have lots of reasons to find a new ISP...

[Overtaxed]

I'd ditch them too!
