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!

Well, Nexcare is what I use. I know that there are some things out there called "liquid bandage" but it's in a bottle and not good...burns like the dickens. This is a new product, and I think Band-Aid brand has one too. It looks just like super glue in a little tube. If it's in a bottle with an applicator, that is not it.

It will literally seal it shut.

Don't put any neosporin on it prior to application, though...it'll prevent adherence.

As a matter of fact, the reason I got this liquid bandage was to seal the cut I got from that clam!

Considering how dry it is in the winter in Vermont and how many of the guys who came to the local jam work with their hands (lotta farmers and carpenters and such), a lot had trouble with cracks and cuts and scrapes year round, but especially in the winter. Superglue was mentioned a lot as a good option. I'd heard of some newfangled "liquid bandage" stuff that was the same thing only actually sterile and such, but didn't know much about it until 2J brought it up - glad she did!

OK, NOW I'm off.

okay...

bittygirl has a bowl of cheerios. The bowl happens to have a lid. She has now figured out she can put the lid on bowl so she can shake it and make ~music~. Ofcourse, and then she can eat the cereal when she is done.

Be aware, it is super glue. Once it's on there, it's ON THERE. Don't stick your fingers together and don't get it in your eyes.

It's pretty easy to apply, though...just follow the directions.

I'm pretty sure Walgreens should have it.

I know, I am just amazed at everything she learns right now, cuz elf-boy never did these things, that I can recall, until he was much older.

I expected her to shake the bowl, and to take the lid off. However, she put the lid ON. Cool!

I had better run. It's park day and we are getting a late start (laundry is now dry enough to wear).

Trash men just came. The dead squirrel that was slightly hit by the car is gone, not a minute too soon.

Does "finding links on Google" count as research, I wonder...

Anyway I was productive for twenty minutes, that's enough for now.

Are your links properly summarized and formatted according to the MLA stylebook? If not you'll have to redo them if you want actual credit.

The grocery had both the 3M stuff and the BandAid version. They looked really similar and the BandAid stuff was a little cheaper, so I got it. Gonna apply it in a minute here...and then I guess I'd better not attempt to type for awhile. ;-) I like my computer and all...but I really don't need to bond with it like THAT.

Hehehe... no, this is for thesis research. Doing my survey of related work. No need to format links yet...

Oh, speaking of which...

Third draft is "supposed" to go in today. This is "supposed" to be the final draft.

I have no idea what that means, though...because I don't get the impression that that's all there is.

Info changes from day to day, so take this as a grain a salt. But a couple a days ago, Steve told me "it looked like" the third draft would go in today.
