The Hobbit Hole XV - Pass them by! Pass them by!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 09/02/2004 2:18:28 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Pass them by! Pass them by!

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!

Things are indeed coming to a head! I kept yelling at Al, though. Stupid guy. Looks like Mustang next episode? We only have four left...

Hmmm... maybe it's the fansubber. Whose sub did you see? I've been watching S-S, their translation's not as good but Fork/Nanashi's video quality is crap.

This last one was shonbou, or something like that.

I recommend using the Azereus bittorrent client, it's pretty easy to use.

Also, downloadanime.org is where I get mine, they have a forum where the new sub is posted as soon as it's ready. I think on DSL you should get good speeds. I start mine off before bed, or first thing before work, and then the anime's waiting for me when I'm ready.

Yeah, Sonchou-Shinsen is what I've been watching. Um, their translation of the song makes no sense, though.

The tale of the FMA subbers is long, confusing, and weird. I wish Spoon was still subbing...

What exactly IS a bit torrent client? I'm kinda leery of installing stuff on my computer...but if it doesn't mess anything up, maybe that's what I should do.

Ha! Yes, I do!! I'd be happy to send them along to you. I assume you have the Student Book. Would you like to use the Teacher Manual as well? Since Joseph is back in school, and Clare is doing Japanese, I won't be using them for a while. I may have Joseph study some Latin in a year or two, but he's got all he can do with the Spanish right now.

Just send them back when you're done!

No, I don't need the student book, but I sure could use those other things, sis. I sure could and I'm praising the Lord for you right now!

The teacher's manual would be an unexpected blessing!! THANK YOU!!!!

Do you still have my address??

God bless you!! LOL I know I sound silly, but you just have no idea how I appreciate it!

Well the Gold coast had one, the Atlantic Coast had one, so I guess the hurricanes didn't want the Keys to feel left out! This one looks like it 's going right up the center of the state. LOOK OUT MICKEY!

Oh, I'm happy to help out! Especially since it's just sitting here unused! I'm glad you mentioned them because I'd forgotten that I even had them! The Flashcards haven't even been opened! I'm thinking I might open them and make some flash cards for Clare and Joseph's use since I'll still have the student books. I'll do that over the weekend. The words would help for PSAT and SAT prep in deducing the meaning of unknown words. If the word has a familiar root, they can more accurately guess the meaning of it! I'll pack the stuff up over the weekend and send it on Monday.

I know I have your address somewhere, but do me a favor and freepmail it anyway so I don't have to remember where it is. ;o)

A bittorrent client is a file-sharing system. However unlike, say, Kazaa, the one I use doesn't install spyware. You can choose which files to let it upload - I let it upload unlicensed anime a lot longer than FMA - and I haven't found anything that makes me think it's more than a low security risk. However it will take up most of your bandwidth. I rarely surf when downloading, it's like being on dial-up.

Needless to say, I can't remember why I thought a university was a good place to meet guys.

Be on the lookout for the older non-traditional students. There ought to be some whe are vet'rans who are just now getting to college. For exanple, I didn't become a full time student until I was 26. I know I'm not the only guy to ever go that path.

I'll keep that in mind. There are a few non-trads, but they're all in their thirties. So far.

Today is Matthew's first day of Latin.

Awesome, Latin is one language I'd really like to study.

I'm wondering if I can't just make some cookies, if you get my meaning...

And legal. Age really isn't an issue for a healthy relationship. I found out the hard, and expensive, way. You may not have the same, or as many, life expiriences as some guy in his 30's, but it doesn't mean you don't have common ground. Your conservatism might very well be a good place to start.

Remember, guys in their 20s are just in late adolescence.
