The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!

Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Let them go! Let them go!

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!

Don't ask me. It's been going on for... let's see, Prisoner of Azkaban was six years ago, and I remember the furor then too.

You'd think if HP was really a gateway drug, there'd be a wiccan epidemic by now.

Well, it might be rough on the friendship, brides get weird about this stuff! Hopefully you can get through this with friendship intact.

Hopefully. She's not an entirely unreasonable person. I just don't want to hurt her feelings.

Plus she doesn't quite get how I feel about my family... she gets to see hers a lot more often and she's only got one sister, so it's easier for her. I need to see mine for more than two weeks out of the year.

I just couldn't believe someone wouldn't consider a fan "first" before taking a pill...

Hmph...

I'm curious about menopause...wonder what it'll be like. They don't give girls pills to ease them through puberty...why would they want to do this for women going through menopause...it's just another phase of one's life.

It's because kids can be told "shut up and live with it" and adults don't want to hear that.

Acually I used the wrong word

I meant "Tower Fan"

It's a fan that has two parts that swivel and it has three settings according to how much air you wanted coming from the fan.

I have one sitting on my desk at work. It's great!

you can get them at Walmart I don't know what other stores may have them.

I'm not one for HRT, if there is a "natural" option. I heard that taking soy supplements works wonders for menopausal symptoms.

But I don't know first hand.

Yet.

I know when the first HP book came out, all sorts of religious groups were all panicking over the "evil" influences that they may have.

But a coworker of mine said something I think is true. The reason HP and LOTR are called Sci/Fi/Fantasy is they are supposed to be entertainment. Anyone who takes any of the stories and uses them to form some sort of cult or goes and practices Satinism or other Dark religions have already had that sort of thing in thier hearts. and any one who's faith is that weak that a scifi novel can influence thier way of thinking have no business reading such books, but a person who has every confidence and faith in what ever denomination abd religion they practice will get nothing but pure entertainment from them.

Yup! If it weren't Harry Potter, they'd join some Cthulhu cult.
