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!

Friday would be good...but I'm not looking forward to it because it's going to be an all-day travel experience in the area of standing in long lines at airports. Between busses and waiting and the actual trip back to the NW, it'll be 12 hours of travelling. But I'll have three days off to celebrate my 24th anniversary when I get home!

South Park is on! Tonight's episode is Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride.

Wish it came on earlier in the evening here. But Big'ol is considering getting a DVR... and this is one of the shows I'd record. Muahahaaaa.

Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure. has just been written on my whiteboard. Just below "Illegitimi non carborundum" which is pseudo-Latin for "Don't let the bastards grind you down" and apparantly one of Barry Goldwater's favorite sayings. And just above "!Serenidad Ahora!" which is espanol for "Serenity Now!"

Keep 'em guessing, I always say.

He thought everything was done with the mouse. Must have a Mac at home.

As if you can do much of ANYTHING with those stoopid Mac mice...

Good morning!

Sigh...I'm stressing today 'cause last night I got my home insurance bill for the year and it's quite literally double what it was last year and not something I can pay, AND they want a lump sum rather than monthly payments. I'm calling the insurance place in a few minutes to see what can be done (maybe switching companies will help?)...but definitely feeling down. I was actually doing almost OK financially for awhile there.

On the positive side, I guess it behooves them to work out an arrangement, humiliating as it might be for me to have to ask for it. I doubt I'll get thrown in jail over an insurance bill...

But outside of that, it's a lovely day, I just had a swell breakfast, and I have anime to watch later - your package arrived, Jen! Heh...I got a kick out of your address label.

You're a pal! ;-)

OK, the gal at the insurance place is going to look for a better rate (seemed to think just about ANYWHERE else could do better for me), and I also mentioned I'd prefer a monthly or quarterly payment and she said that should be possible. So...maybe the world isn't as dark as I thought.

My property tax is worked into my mortgage...which I'm MOSTLY grateful for. But insurance has always been separate. HOWEVER before it's only been a very small number and not that big of a deal.

Any pictures of the new egg? ;-) I wish the color came across better!

No, no picture. It's so pale blue it would just come across as white.

But when I showed it to Steve he just busted out laughing...said "Well, looks like she figured out how to do it!" LOL Honestly, the ones we were getting were only slightly bigger than robin's eggs!

Good morning, so far, I think. Or rather I don't yet because I need food and cafeeeene.

Having opinions before having your morning caffeine can be dangerous.

no no, Morning quality is just a tactical assessment that is made automatically regardless of current functional capabilities.....


Ok, I will go get caffeine now.
