The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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!

On the other hand, there are fewer good drummers around, in my experience. We are soooo lucky to have the guy who plays with us. We play MUCH worse when he's not here! Really makes the band work.

Cookies sound really good. I've got ice cream, but sometimes I'd like something in between classes, you know?

It's just unfair that granola is high in carb. Seems like it should at least have fiber, but it doesn't.

Hah! On the plus side, I've got a new FMA tonight! Woot! That makes the long day worth having faced.

I'm trying to get away from what I'm starting to think of as "mental" hunger...i.e. I can eat a great lunch and be full...but I still feel like I gotta have a dessert. And when I get home from work, I always want something to eat the second I walk in the door, even if I already had a snack earlier in the afternoon. Just habit, I guess...but it's vey tough to get away from.

But I'm not good at not snacking.

But the cookies will be a good dessert, and already in portion sizes that are appropriate. So that's good.

Snacks are tough on this diet, really - portable ones, that is. NOW I can have fruit, and I guess cheese is kinda portable, but...you know what I mean.

I'm behind on FMA! Gotta get some in tomorrow evening.

Is there a way to automatically refresh a page in Explorer?

I use a program called Ulead DVD MovieFactory, mainly because it came bundled with my video capture card. But, it works pretty good... can edit frame-by-frame, in resolutions up to DVD quality. In fact, it allows you to make DVDs, with jump menus and everything.

Lots of Mac software is also available for the PC... you might check what software the church has and see if they make a version for the PC, if they do then he won't have to learn two different programs. I'll also do some checking to see what's considered "good".

But, he already is a drummer. He's been playing in band since 6th grade and he's pretty good.

Yes, you do have to get it in!

I'm finding it much easier to stay on the diet when I have to lug my lunch to school, and then get back exhausted and with homework. I'll just do all my meal prep/planning on weekends.

Wife said in the 70s she always wanted to learn to play the flute, 'cause you couldn't sit out under a tree and play the piano...

Hit "F5" on the top row.

Yeah...automatically...can I program it somewhere to refresh a page like every minute on it's own?

I lug my lunch to work...but then I sit at a desk all day.

My main problem is in the evening, though. Hard to break habits of snacking while watching movies, reading, etc.

But drinking water helps. Maybe that's part of why it's pushed so much.

I THINK that would have to go in the code of a page, rather than being something you could control from your end.

But I'm not a programmer. So...I dunno.

Be a nifty tool, if you could.

Oh well...I gotta go. Good night all! See you all first thing in the morning! Don't move without me!

Keep me posted about the pets, hair!

I've been drinking tons of water recently! It's so dry out here, you have to.

And walking. Ten minutes between the department and the other buildings where we have class, and there's one class a day in one of those. Seven minutes from the bus to the department. It's not one nice chunk, but all together it ought to be ok.

Maybe I should be grateful we have to walk a long way each way to get to the cars right now...

Hey, it all adds up!

Well, I'm gonna go start my latest book and read for a little while before going to bed. Gotta get up bright and early to walk on the treadmill. Least I get to listen to Round the World...though the narrator is still getting on my nerves.
