The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

I suppose this might already have occured to you... but how about retail computer sales? compusa, fry's, best buy, something like that. It keeps you up to date with what's happening in the market, and they sometimes even have a support dept. Usually a commission too.

Just .02

Man, I hate leaving so close to the 3's... do you think anyone would get mad if I spammed 10 messages or so?

Dunno, it's really annoying when pulled threads stay in the sidebar forever.

Whew! Monday classes done, now I just have to do homework and stuff... until bedtime...

Yep. It's what my sister is now! She still doesn't have all the tools she'd need to set up her own shop, but seems pretty confident that she could build a violin alone now. She's about done with her second, plus has done lots and lots and lots of repairwork...which of course isn't as fun, but it doesn't pay badly.

Once again, I'm a day late and a dollar short for EVERYTHING.

Now...I just bought something at the guitar store a few weeks ago. No sign anything was up. Or not up. But they're gone. So all my brilliant ideas are too late.

Figures.

Now...if I was my brother Ben, I'd con some poor suckers into practically GIVING me the capital to start my OWN shop in the same space. But I ain't. So I'm just disappointed.

I wonder if that's better or worse than doing it in person, as far as hiring chances go.

Sure would be nice not to have to wait in the stoopid line, though...
