New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Yep. You sent me the pics! They were GREAT!!! I am impressed with her. :-)

[Samwise]

I had to read her profile to make sure she wasn't someone I know who has a purple thing. Whew.... she's not her. LOL.

[Samwise]

Thanks. I want to be just llike Jr. when I grow up. :^)

No worries... I've broken the Internet enough times that it just doesn't worry me anymore.

It's funny... but *cough* several years ago (maybe about 1995 or 96... something like that) there was a couple of days when the whole Internet broke. There was a major foulup on the root-servers down at Network Solutions one night. Basically it meant that every single DNS server on the whole Internet had to be completely flushed and rebuilt.

It was a gas. The whole Internet was down for about 24 hours until about half of it came back. It took another 24 to get another quarter of it back... and about a week to recover fully.

What fun... This was well before pretty much every business had an internet presence. I can't even imagine the impact of doing that today. [sigh] Pretty much all the time we're only a few keystrokes away from disaster...

[Samwise]

He's just a lurker.

I hope he read the post where I said he was Aragorn. LOL

[Wneighbor]

:-) She and my oldest daughter were best friends in elementary school. Somehow, she and I have stayed very close over the years. Now that they're both grown PQ and I still hang out and visit quite a bit. I love her like she's another daughter! :-)

We had moot pictures earlier today! Lone Star Moot at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Did you see those? PQ and I were in those. :-)

[Wneighbor]

You wanna grow up!?!?!

I don't think I do....

We don't have to do we?

[Ramius]

Is not. You just have to figure out which one of us he is!

Well... it would have to be somebody we haven't met yet...

Say... Fedora... :-)

[Wneighbor]

Pretty much all the time we're only a few keystrokes away from disaster...

And it fills your need for livin' on the edge too doesn't it darlin!

[Wneighbor]

Fedora huh? He is outted. And here I thought he was a lot younger!

I am off..... we've got a movie to watch about a bigwig King or Count of some sort who is into Monte Cristo sandwiches.

[Wneighbor]

What do you mean you are off? You haven't been here!!!

[Samwise]

Yep, I saw some of the moot pics. Dang ISP gives me fits with pictures. I am lobbying Hubby for DSL.

[HairOfTheDog]

I haven't? Did I dream all this sexy romance novel entertainment?

[Ramius]

That's what I told one of our office managers one day. She was a little hysterical, but I seemed to get through.

I said that if she made a typo at some point during the week all it did was make her Word document look bad. But if *I* made a typo I might well bring down the entire network at once. And yet, nomatter who you are, typos seem to still happen.

It seemed to get through.

[HairOfTheDog]

see ya!

Samwise, send us a picture!

[Wneighbor]

OH! Lobby away sweetheart! Maybe it will come to pass. :-)

We had a great time. You are going to have to moot sometime!

[Wneighbor]

Oh, so you were just dreamin' intead of takin' part. Lurking! You lurker you!
