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 really dig the Man.

You tell me, Ramius, Is it about ice cream?

[2Jedismom]

Hehe! Just the idea of delivered groceries is appealing to me.

I'd buy milk delivered to my doorstep if they still did it. Then there really would be a Milkman!

[2Jedismom]

brb gonna take a hot soak. My neck is killing me.

[Ramius]

Actually, I've been sitting here trying to figure out what your tagline is... and... not having success... hint?

[HairOfTheDog]

Hint: It's ASCII art.

[2Jedismom]

It's the front of a Bug!

[Ramius]

Yah... I figured... but it ain't clickin' in.

[JenB]

Obviously you haven't had enough to drink... have another pint and then look.

[HairOfTheDog]

you gave it away!

[Ramius]

Bah!!! hehhee... OK... got it.

So if you wanted a beemer it'd be something like: o(00)o

or a Jag: oo O oo

or a Mustang: o( )o

or a Bentley: o [] o

or a Porsche:
(nothing there, since so few ever see the front)

:-)

[2Jedismom]

I'm not good with giving hints! LOL

My word but my neck is sore...it's been a week since I wrestled with Joshua and hurt it!

I must be really old.

[2Jedismom]

It looks better in the preview screen...the font is different.

[HairOfTheDog]

I thought you neck hurt from sitting there with your jaw all clenched from the meat salesman. ;~D

[JenB]

Or maybe you've got Killer Neck Disease and are going to collapse into a pile of quivering jelly - oh, sorry. National Crappy Novel Month is over! I don't have to invent weirdness any more!

[Corin Stormhands]

Our internet was out all day today, in case anyone noticed.... or not :~D

I noticed. I just didn't have time to drive to Washington to check on you...

[2Jedismom]

No! I hurt it last week having a wrestle with Joshua in the living room. Actually I wanted to give him a smooch and he would have none of it (although he didn't leave) and we made a game out of me trying to kiss him and him pretending to try to get away. There was much yelling and rolling around, but in the end I got the smooch, because he was laughing so hard he couldn't wrestle any more.

Unfortunately, he had been pushing me away by pushing on my face sometimes using his feet.

Did a number on my neck. I suffered all Thanksgiving, but it got a bit better over the weekend. I think I might have gotten cold in the night and it caused it get irritated again. I'm gonna overcome my fear that the heating pad might have a spider in it and get it out of the closet. That will be twice today that I have overcome that fear...I got my winter house shoes out and put them on...after a good shaking.

[Corin Stormhands]

If I recall, we'd all been chatting on each of the hundred or so FoTR review threads ecurbh posted around the premier and through Christmas, so many of us were acquainted at Christmas '01, if that counts, and I think it does!

Of course it does. I just was occupied elsewhere and living under a different name...

[2Jedismom]

Hehehe!! It's a good story!

[HairOfTheDog]

I'm gonna overcome my fear that the heating pad might have a spider in it and get it out of the closet.

You should donate yourself to a Masters in Psychology class. ;~D

[2Jedismom]

Heh! Well, we do have Brown Recluse spiders here...they have a nasty bite. The chickens took care of most of the Black Widows, but those are outdoor spiders mostly anyways. Recluse spiders are closet dwellers...I'm very cautious around things that haven't been used in a while. Like the slippers and heating pad.
