The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

If I had a golden I'd be tempted to name him Torg after Sluggy Freelance. Because of the neuroticly stupid personality.

That would be why it is funny. Marvin would be a good name.

I adopted a four-week-old kitten once whose Mama had been hit by a car. I named it "Foster" as in "Foster Kitty" (I was a social worker at the time).

Well, I've been online all morning at my normal speed...so I guess my phone line has recovered from whatever was wrong with it.

I want dental implants! Or caps. I just want all new teeth.

I have the ugliest teeth. I'm pretty happy with every other aspect of my person...I don't mind the way I'm aging, don't mind my gray hair or sagging eyelids.

But I HATE my teeth and have for a long time.

I used to drink a beer called Fosters.

Dig holes and get your mind off your furry pal who's fun to be with.

Yeah, maybe she won't think about the dog either...

Hi Rosie! I've been lurking this morning and have a suggestion for your new dog's name. Call him Auggie. We had a little black and white pooch by that name and when we were talking silly dog talk to him we called him "Auggie Doggie", or "Auggie, Just Plain ol' Doggie". He seemed to like it.

{Lurk on}

Do you know anything about humidity and electronics? Will it hurt electronics to have a humidifier around? Like the jedis room has two computers, two tvs, a printer, a scanner and an XBOX in there. Will it hurt to run a humidifier in there too?

At least you can narrow it down to only one thing you don't like.

I have a hard time trying to narrow my flaws down to a top ten ;~D

I would think that a humidifier would be a plus in a room with lots of electronics. Seems like it would help keep down the static electricity.

That's true! I'm pretty content.

But I just smile SO big when I smile and I've nearly ground my teeth away and the front are chipped and I have all these ugly dark colored fillings.

I doubt I'll ever have too much done, but I'd like to at least have those ugly fillings changed to the white kind and have an implant placed where I have the gold cap. And maybe whitened.

But my current insurance won't pay that much for that kind of work and I can't afford it right now.

Someday, maybe. ASG
