The Hobbit Hole XVI - Still round the corner there may wait...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Still round the corner there may wait...

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!

I've got more emotional energy expended in this piece of crap than it's worth.

I swear one day I'm going through this house and getting rid of everything that causes me irritation...I can't walk through an inch of this house without being galled at something.

Grrrr....

That did not turn them back on? Check and see if the shift key si broken. Holding that down on boot turns them all off automatically.

computers always annoy me in ways that nothing else in the world seems able to do. Strangly I still keep using them.

What version is your OS?

I swear I despise almost everything in my house. All my furniture and most of my clothes. If Steve would let me, I'd get rid of all of it right now...

But he doesn't want to sit on the floor. I'd do it just to get rid of all awful stuff.

My chest is hurting, I'm so worked up! Where's Hair to spray me with a hose??

Sorry 2J. I wish I could help better. I know Macs pretty well and could probably fix it if I was in front of it :(

Ah, that's ok. I'm workin' on these knives now and it took my mind off it.

300wm, I'm on my way to the post office to give that gentleman his third son's knife...I'll find out if he's a military man himself...

Yes, but where there's snow there, there won't be any hurricanes here...

Hey, 300wm...got the third knife to the post office guy. He gave me more info. His oldest boy is in the 10th Mountain Division. One of his younger twin sons is in the 101st Airborne. I don't recall him telling me what the other twin is with...but I know that two of them are in the process of being deployed and he doesn't have their new address yet. He said he would send them the knives as soon as he can and that the son that isn't deploying will get the knife asap.

He was just delighted. He was speechless when I took the first knives in, and I think a bit confused. This time though, he'd obviously read the cover letter I'd included, wasn't confused at all and was just beaming with delight.

Also, I got the knife mailed to the Black Hawk crew chief. I also put a cover letter inside and also a stickie note staying that I was merely forwarding the knife to him/her from The Freeper Hobbit Hole.

If you hear from any of them, let me know!
