The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

That's why email is great. It doesn't matter where people are physically located as long as they check their email.

And I know my parents won't be moving, Mom would have to be dragged out kicking and screaming.

This was back in '96 or '97 so email was not such a sure bet way to get someone on a short basis. The really funny part was I was tracking them down to call and ask for money for school :P

Unless they change their ISP. ;P

Good day!

Praise the Lord and pass the pancakes!

I've been very very worried about money for the last month. Because I got a B in one of my classes last semester, I missed the GPA needed to get my extra fellowship and it looked like I was going to have to come up with eleven hundred bucks for fees, as well as not have an extra 1k. I even got a bill for the first half of the fees...

But I just checked my bank balance, and saw a huge credit. There was only one thing it could be, so I went and checked the student accounts and sure enough I was awarded the fellowship after all (apparently it's a yearly gpa, not a semesterly one)

I can't begin to say what a big deal this is. I can finally finish building my pc! And I'll still have my safety net money. I was getting very worried about how I was going to make it to the summer, when I'll be working full time and making more money. This is a real answer to prayer!

That's why one has a yahoo address, even if it's only for emergency contacts...

Good day! I'm in a really, really good mood suddenly :-)

Ah, but if they are using one of the free webmail services (my folks use Yahoo), that isn't a problem. Unless said free webmail changes their service and starts to charge.

He always paves the way and it's always just in time. :-D

Wonderful news! How really thrilling!!!

Speaking of financial matters...I got this through the PJ Scout thing I have Steve signed up for...he's not really qualified, but the salary nearly caused me to faint!

And on another note, our Sunday School teacher mentioned he was keeping an eye out for a position with the company he works for...I think it's T. D. Williamson" or something like that.

I think you'll be surprised just how much he might be able to earn with his Master's degree. Environmental science is a big thing nowadays.

I'm waiting for money, too...though not on quite the same scale. Margaret's teacher - the man who's teaching her to build violins - is going to buy my fiddle to fix up. I hate to let it go, but inexpensive fiddles are available everywhere, and it'll be cash and one last thing to carry around. I'm keeping the bow.

She's supposed to get a check from him tomorrow.

Well, we've already decided that we don't want to go into any further debt again, other than our mortgage payment (which is small...$650 a month). I'm going to practically need a new car soon...and you get a reasonable car for not too much and pay cash for it. There is a lot of little things I'd like to do around the house of course, but we really need to be thinking of saving a bunch of money...we don't have anything put away for the boy's college or our retirement and we aren't young folks, you know? We're a bit behind!

Plus, we'd like to do some leisure stuff...fix up the bug, go on vacations.

But other than that... life, although hopefully less financially anxious, won't change much!

Isn't it great, though! Now I can get a couple new shirts and the FMA dvd, and even after I finish the computer I can save most of it for later in the semester. Its a huge weight lifted from my shoulders.

Glad to hear about the violin, Rosie. Perhaps you can get a replacement at a ~pawn shop~

Of course. If it was not just in time then us fallible humans would have time to mess things back up again.

Heh, of course it's just in time. God's not going to make a mistake and deliver the help just a day too late, after all!

LOL! You both have very good points!

I'm over at ecurbh's Hobbit Hole, looking through the Entmoot pictures. *snif*

What a fabulous time it was.
