The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

If they were siamese horses joined at the butt, they'd be Push-Me Pull-You's

I don't like 'em, but for awhile I had no alternative.

I am soooooo glad I have a washer and dryer of my own now. It was a big cost, but way, way worth it to me.

Laundromats are a good place to meet single guys.

And now I've got a receptacle to plug the washer into.

Last week I was looking at the washer hookups and realized they'd have to have run it on an extension cord for all these years. Sheesh!

The ones who don't do laundry for a month and then take up every machine in the place?

*sigh* Maybe.

But that's one sacrifice I'm NOT willing to make in that regard! I like my home washin' machine...

Besides, for every single guy, there were five or six women of questionable age (and/or gender) with several snotty nosed kids in tow - folks that were from low rent kinda places without laundry facilities.

Even with plenty of hot water and soap...I didn't like to think about sharing laundry equipment with some of 'em...

Guess I'm a nasty snob in some ways.

Heh...or dump all your unmentionables out onto the table the INSTANT the dryer stops, so's they can use it for one of their three bazillion loads?

Or the ones wearing a bathrobe because every other article of clothing is in the laundry... not that I've ever done that, of course. ;~)

I don't do laundromats. :)

The best ones are usually located next to the pawn shops...

I also had my very, very favorite shirt in the whole wide world stolen from a laundry room - on base, at that.

I'm still emotionally scarred from that experience. *snif*

I only left it for a few minutes, too! And they also took a brand new uniform shirt that I had JUST had my name tapes put on...that was thirty bucks plus down the drain. Bustards.

One summer on tour I was at the laundry mat. Decided, what the heck, the shirt was dirty too. So I tossed it on in and was there in my shorts and flip flops.

And in case yer all grossed out, that was multiple poundages ago (like almost a whole person ago...)

Have you ever seen books in a pawnshop? Ever wonder why?
