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!

OT: good morning, yup it's Friday. Good luck on the house.

Wayside Waifs is having "Strut your mutt" in Brookside tomorrow. We're thinking of taking Gypsy girl there and showing her off to her former guardians. Unlike Samantha, Gypsy likes to travel and "plays well with others". She'll do fine.

I was just about the ump a baseball game in which Leslie Nielson was catching when the alarm went off. I was just asking him where the strike-zone was.

Rainin' here...we needed it too.

I wonder if Steve got called out to pull samples? I doubt it, cause the cup of coffee he leaves for me on my bedside table is still hot.

Allllllll righty then!

Though...in my dream last night, I spent a long time explaining to Hair that I seem to attract crazy people just like 2J does...the precipitated by the guy who talked to me the whole time I was pumping gas last night, all about how he'd been up for forty eight hours or sumpin 'cause he was delivering some very important part that he'd had to drive to the Maine coast and back to get and also somewhere in southern NH...I lost track.

I nodded politely and then wished him luck and got outta there.

Hi!

Oooh...just noticed I'm seeing posts in groups of 100 instead of 50. Yay! I hate only having 50 to a page...

I thought so too! From Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry: verb
Pronunciation: 'v&rb
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English verbe, from Middle French, from Latin verbum word, verb --
: a word that characteristically is the grammatical center of a predicate and expresses an act, occurrence, or mode of being, that in various languages is inflected for agreement with the subject, for tense, for voice, for mood, or for aspect, and that typically has rather full descriptive meaning and characterizing quality but is sometimes nearly devoid of these especially when used as an auxiliary or linking verb

I asked him "Why did you say 'State of being'?" and he said "I learned that in second grade."

I always have mine at fifty...dialup takes too long to load 100...

Good morning! The insulated cup idea was a good one! My coffee is always piping hot when I get up...I sit on the side of the bed and sip for just a few minutes.

In the past few weeks I have begun flyladying again and the house is look sharp...I accredit it to that cup of coffee on the bedside stand.

I've done some flyladying over the past week...but I really need to get down to it seriously and just pitch stuff right and left until the house is truly organized and spotless. I really would love to have it to the point where I could have anyone over and not be mortified if they, say, took a peek in the basement or office. I've never gotten completely to that point.

I've been there...I know what you mean.

The thing about myself is this...when something gets out of hand, I give up. I just think "It's hopeless" and endure things the way they are. Then, something else about myself kicks in and I go kinda rabid. I get angry, then determined, then I accomplish, then I'm content and able to stay on top for a long time.

The other night Steve and I were talking about it. I told him "It seems I go through spells in my life where I feel like I can't do ANYTHING so I don't"! He said, "Look...each time you strike out to spiff up the house, it gets easier and stays spiffed longer! Just don't worry about the times when you feel like that...you eventually work through them!"

I thought that was a pretty insightful thing to say and I appreciated someone actually acknowledging what I suspected and not just saying "You're lazy...you're awful, you don't deserve anyone to care about you." Which has been said and implied for the greater part of my life.
