The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

Fiesty today, ain't ya? ;-)

Jen is off to anime club...Margaret and I bowed out this time. We'll probably crash early. The kitties now have a scratching post, toys, and a new heavy ceramic water bowl to replace the one that broke in the parking lot here. *sigh* I'd had that for years! Silly the things we get attached to. I have to have a heavy one, though...Halvah scoots and tips light ones.

I'm hoping Jen isn't getting reallllly tired of my yammering about my cats...

I picked up an application for Barnes & Noble today. Dunno if I'll actually submit it...but it's an option, I suppose, as are some of the other stores within walking distance - just for temporary jobs, I mean. I'm feeling a bit discouraged right now on that subject. The e-mail I hadn't checked since I had been off-line contained a message from one place telling me "no thanks" and nothing positive. I'm sure God will provide...but it's scary having nothing right now.

It's not nice of me, but the animal control guy's scream cracked me up...kind of reminiscent of the elf screams in TT. :-)

You know.... pinky probably is a very loving cat... That's what cats do when you take them outside in a strange environment with someone they don't know and put him on a leash!

If I give him any less... he fights ear handling like we are really trying to kill him. It's not that he just doesn't feel like cooperating, it's uncontrollable panic... like that cat ;~D

Yeah, guess we can all get crazy sometimes when people mess with us. That guy was definitely trying to herd a cat, which is only done with the cat's express permission and inclination, which is rare.

I think B and N sounds like a good temp job!

I'm logging off...wanted to say good night to everyone before Steve gets home.

See ya, all!

Did someone mention herding cats? (rather large video)

I love that one... they did another one... building an airplane in flight. Classic.

Evenin' everyone!

Hi Rosie! SO glad you made it safe and sound. :-D

Temp secretarial jobs are always terrific for quick and relatively easy money. Here's one right in Fort Collins. Pays up to $15 bucks an hour full time.

I should probably check those as well...though I'm not very confident in my organizational skills!

That one is better pay than what I was making in technical work, though. Hmmm...

I could blame this on a lottery sort of attitude we have toward the courts in this country... but some people would be bad regardless.

Finger in chili may have been that of woman's deceased aunt

Organizational skills are no biggie. They just want to be sure that you'll know where to find something when they ask for it.

And most temp secretarial jobs I've come across have turned into something permanent if they like you.

Which they undoubtedly will. *smile*

*gag*

If that turns out to be the truth...that's just...reprehensible. I don't even have words.

It was a set up.

If she did this, I wouldn't lift a finger to help her.

I guess I can add those to my list o' jobs-to-try-for.

Until now, the getting here has been my overwhelming worry...so now that that's done (yippee!), I'm moving on to new worries.

There's always something!
