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!

So if the electricity goes out, either the wind or a person on a bicycle could keep the generator running.

LOL!! That reminds me of one of Rush's old joke commercials about an Institute for people with Restless Leg Syndrome. The doctors had the folks riding bicycles hooked up to generators!!

Prayers going up!! Which position is this?

It's an admin assistant job at the college. It pays well, plus it'd get me into the system - it's easier to transfer to another job within the college than it is to get hired from the outside.

Considering this is the first admin assistant job where I've made it to the interview stage, I'm not sure what to expect!

Well, I'm back.

The doc put temporary collagen punctal plugs in my tear ducts to see if that will stop what little tears I have from draining out into my nose. If they work, he will put permanent ones in.

Thanks! ;-)

It's a struggle not to be overly hopeful at this point. I'm sure desperation doesn't look good in an interview candidate...

I have bone dry eyes. Not a lack of reflex (crying) tears, but a lack of lubricating tears.

They thing that the radial keratotomy that I had is the problem...apparently they are seeing a lot of it with post RK patients. They *think* that the nerve endings that communicate with the brain letting it know that the eye needs lubricating tears are cut off and the message isn't getting through.

Hope that works for you!

How big of a procedure would the permanent deal be? Would it be in and out like this was?

Well, I hope this does the trick. I know others with ~similar~ complaints, and I think it only becomes more common as people get older.

That is what I gather! This took him literally 30 seconds per eye!

I was appalled by it...just the idea. Sounded awful. But it really was completely painless.

True. And it has gotten worse and worse as I've gotten older.

42 may be the answer, but it almost means I'm old. LOL!

Speaking of 42, anyone wanna chat-view Hitchhiker's Guide tonight? Rosie and I feel a need to watch it.

Glad it wasn't as scary as you anticipated!

Heh...and speaking of 42, we really wanna watch that again. Haven't seen it since the theater.

I can chat, but I don't have Hitchhiker's Guide and I'm watching baseball anyway.

I don't think I can get Big'ol to watch it ever again. It ranks up there with Napolean Dynamite, which I find hilarious, as one of the worst he's ever seen. *pout*

But at least the Red Sox season is over!
