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!

Yeah, I've been beside cars where the deep bass was pumping so loud it made me queasy!

Yep. Dunno what it is about it, but it's more than just sound.

But then, I guess all sound is in wave form. And some of those waves can be physically felt...and it isn't always a pleasant feeling!

I think you were on the side of "it's not worth getting that worked up over it". ;-)

Well, that sounds like me.... always trying to get everyone to get along ;~D

Another thing is, they call us mean-spirited because we questioned what they did. But they haven't offered one goodwill gesture toward us at all. For example..they have our name badges! Why won't they give us our name badges, for crying in your soup? They have BA CHEF on them and our names, pre-printed. They can't possibly use them. They won't give them to us because they'll have to acknowledge our existence and they can't do that because then they have to admit they did wrong by us. So they keep our name badges! And call us mean-spirited!

It's laughable!

I'd pay good money to hear you call them up and say "We don't need no steenkeen badges."

Essentially, we have...but it sure would feel good to actually do it! ;-)

We really threw them a curve, though...their statement that "BA CHEF doesn't exist " has yet to explain us away!

You know... the more you describe their actions, the more they sound like liberals.

Exactly...it's like when the Mouth of Sauron came out and started griping about being assailed when nobody did anything but look at him! It was his own heart that was bothered him.

Classic Dem MO.

And here's another thing...

120 women went with them. Without question. Without thought. They want the co-op, mainly. The co-op is still part of that group is has grown to the point of being like a small private school.

With no thought at all to the morality of what was done, they just followed.

I credit the Holy Spirit for my discernment in this matter, and Jim Robinson. No kidding. FR teaches you to really think about issues.

Do those 120 women know about the money? Because other than the money, while the situation seems dodgy, it also sounds like what they might expect from an autocratic bunch of power freaks. If they'd chosen to affliate with them before, and didn't know how unethical the leaving was, maybe there wasn't anything to wake them from their slumber.

They know...they just don't care. Most members say they think it could've been handled better, BUT...and then they list why they're staying with them...the co-op, almost across the board.

We're doing ok... Rose is still working, but waiting for the ax to fall. In the meantime, she's sending out resume's so that hopefully she can find a new job, preemptively so to speak.
