The New Hobbit Hole

Corin, it is my understanding, but may vary in different states...but hospice is usually not considered until they anticipate death to occur within 6 weeks. I remember them saying this when Steve's dad went home with hospice.

Will keep you in my prayers.

Glad to hear your family is on the mend!

My profile page has been given a prize today! Look! - SOME OF FR'S FINEST PROFILE PAGES #6

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day....11-05-02

I am so surprised.... I just tossed a few old mathoms up there and called it good!

I feel all warm and fuzzy!

[2Jedismom]

Well, congratulations!! Job well done!

I also noticed this:

Don't we know that guy in the upper left hand corner???

[HairOfTheDog]

We sure do!

He's a cutie pie isn't he?

(too bad the military made him shave his beard)

[2Jedismom]

Well, to prevent g'nad from kicking my posterior...I'm going to vote now! Be back in a sec.

[RMDupree]

Good morning everyone!

I will be be spending my free time on the News side of FR today to keep up with the elections! ;)

I did want to come in and prepare to breakfast to give us strength through what is sure to be a nail-biter of a day!

Flapjacks with maple syrup, bacon and sausage, fried eggs, and honey wheat toast slathered with honey butter! Plenty of strong coffee and ice cold milk and orange juice (as customary). ENJOY!!

No problems EVER voting here!

It's the Dems that create the problems to justify the extra time they need to stuff the ballot boxes. There are quite a few threads on that right now. Seems that some guy called a local radio station in South Florida saying that he voted for McBride, but it came out for Jeb - all three times. LOL!!

Too stupid to realize that he shouldn't be advertising the fact that he voted three times! And he has the nerve to allege election fraud! HAHAHAHA!

Corin,

I know you listen to Glenn Beck, did you just hear that caller from Miami-Dade County?

They guy calls and he’s all out of breath. Glenn asks him what’s the matter. The guy says, “I just got done voting in Dade county.”

Beck says, “Are you alright?”

Caller: “No, I went and voted for McBride and the screen came up and said I had registered a vote for Bush. It asked me if it was ok and I pushed no. I did this three or four times. Then I went and told one of the workers and they told me that they had had a call from Governor Bush and he told them there were to be no votes for McBride.”

Beck: “Really? That really happened?”

Caller: “Yes, the Governor said there were to be no votes for McBride and then President Bush called and said McBride was to get no votes. Then the pollworker took out a baseball bat and started hitting me in the knees, and now I have no legs.”

Beck: “You have no legs?”

Caller: “No, I have no legs.”

Beck: “Wait a minute, did you have any legs when you went to vote?”

Caller: “Yes, I had legs when I went to vote, they hit me in the knees and now I don’t have any legs. They won’t let me have my legs back unless I vote for Bush. They’ve dragged onto I-95, and now I’m laying in the middle of I-95.”

Beck: “Oh my, we’ll be back after these messages.”

I am leaving in a bit to go up to the beach house. I am still registered up there, so I am meeting my Dad, and we will go vote together!

[JenB]

Hi! In class. I'm voting on the way home from work - I checked, the polls are open til 8 tonight, there's no way I'm missing my chance!

In writing news, I am abandoning the space opera now - too much else to deal with. I might come back later, I don't know yet.

Margaret Mitchell was in love with Ashley Wilkes... Yuck

I guess I really need to read the actual book at some point. But as it is...I can't see anyone falling for Ashley. Too much of a namby pamby type.

Congrats on your subplot breakthrough! I may need one by mid month...we'll see how the plot develops by then!

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

Aren't you in MN RWRF? Did you vote yet? Do you think Coleman (he makes good camping equipment, BTW) will pull it out against Mondull?

Morning ksen, I would have (voted) but I had an early morning meeting that just got over. So I'll take off early for lunch and vote then. From what I hear from people who have voted already, the turnout has been very high. That should favor Coleman, I hope. I think he will pull it off, but I am nervous. Been doing my part to support Coleman all along (bumper sticker, lawn sign, donation, etc.) and I will be very depressed if Mondull is elected.

I know you were being facetious, but just in case anyone else was misled, Norm Coleman is not related to the camping equipment company in any way....

Again... don't go by the movie... go by the book. He is more richly drawn in the book.

What does that mean Jen?

[RosieCotton]

Bye Rosie! I hope you come back gainfully employed.

No such luck. :-( She didn't really know of anything that's for sure open and available that wouldn't require me to move, which is a last resort as far as I'm concerned. Mostly she just looked over my resume and all that and said it sounded like I was doing all the right stuff in my job search, which is positive, I guess.

I'm still thinking that job at the college is my best bet.

[carton253]

I'll be voting here when I go to lunch. Vote Republican and vote against taxes. That's my standard MO.

[RosieCotton]

What does that mean Jen?

Yes! Please clarify! You AREN'T going to leave us hanging, are you???

[HairOfTheDog]

Those headhunter places can be helpful. Have hope in your appt there.

[RosieCotton]

Again... don't go by the movie... go by the book. He is more richly drawn in the book.

I'll get to it one of these days. I'm almost done with Jane Austen for a time, but starting on some Graham Greene...but I WILL get to Gone With the Wind before, say, Entmoot - so we can discuss it!

Did I mention that the IT office at the college is IN the school library? They have a little office at the back of the best floor for books. Ah...a DEFINITE job benefit!

[JenB]

But - but the subplot isn't that important! It's not! And I have to move on or we'll... maybe I will reconsider.

Tell you what; if I do leave it hanging, I'll go back in December and do an epilogue, in which I'll flesh out and finish any of the interesting universes we visit. That could be fun!
