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!

LOL, that reminds me... bittygirl has been trying to plug and unplug all our lamps and alarms clocks.

Last night at bathtime she kept sticking her fingers up the spout to see where the water was coming from. Day before yesterday, I put together a storage cabinet for elf-boy's room. She got hold of the screw driver and proceeded to "help". Now, at dinner time we have her trained to "get in your chair" (She eats in her walker and can get in and out of it on her own).

Remember she is barely 15 months old.

Sorry about all of this 2J, I had a feeling there would be reverberations that affect yor church group. When so many in the group are/were members of both groups there will most likely be some hard feelings in the mix.

Have you been able to talk to Celeste friend to friend yet?

Dobie was before my time too. I watched the reruns. Same thing with I Love Lucy and the Patty Duke Show. That was some good TV back then. Miss it. We don't do TV much anymore. It's all trash.

I rarely ever watch TV other than HGTV. And that's usually just on in the background when I'm online. Wife and I have already declared that on weekdays, once school starts, no TV in the house will be on until after Luke is in bed.

Oh that's funny.

My dad used to anonymously draw cartoons of people he worked with and post them on the lounge corkboard for all to see. Some of them were *really* funny. None of them were obnoxious enough to make anyone upset.

Wonder what he would have drawn regarding your closet case... LOL!

I think at least basic cross training is a good idea...stuff like dealing with print queues, if needed, or maybe password resets and such like. It's really frustrating to work with a "team" where people hoard knowledge, IMO, and I've worked a few places where that was the case.

Yeah I read that thread about the girl killed by the tiger. The graphic that 2J posted was there too, and it perfectly illustrates the absurdity of the situation. Who in their right mind thought that it would be a good idea to let teenagers get their pictures taken with a wild animal!!

It reminded me of the maroons we saw in Yellowstone who would get out of their cars, walk up near a HUGH elk, turn their backs on it, and get their friends to take their picture.
"Hey y'all watch this"!

No. She is unrepentant. She still feels like they did nothing wrong. (This according to the ladies that attended the "information meeting" they had the other night.) She believes that BA CHEF no longer exists, that we aren't BA CHEF re-organized, but a brand new support group.

She told me to my face that if I had any doubts about the way things were handled I should not join their support group. In other words, if I question what she did, I should get lost.

At that moment, it became obvious that the person I thought she was and that I was friends with did not even exist. It was an act. A sham. Had I known that this was the way she was, I wouldn't have been friends with her in the first place.

There were hints, though...and the HH knows about some of them. Like the time she wouldn't watch the jedis for me so Steve and I could go see Hitchhiker's Guide. She said she'd have to check and see if the movie was "all right" first. This, after I had taken her son *and daughter* to Latin for weeks on end when she was feeling sick. Her daughter didn't even take Latin...I just took her to give Celeste a break!

Then, she calls me up and asks if I could watch her kids while she and Andrew go to a deacon's fellowship (aka party). "Sure," says I, because I'm a good friend. "What time should I be at your house?" "Oh no!" says she. "I'm bringing them over to your house so they can swim." I thought "What nerve!" but didn't say anything, because I knew my own kids would enjoy it so.

So there were hints and suggestions of this part of her personality, but I blew them off as quirks.

Now? Because it can't play mando or guitar. Leastways not without extreme care.

Why couldn't it have been the RIGHT hand? Not fair.
