Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Then world behind and home ahead
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! |
|

Home...got plates. I did guestimate the milage wrong, so I suppose I'm kinda sorta still illegal...but in a more subtle way.
All right if I stop by for soup? ;-)

We'll I'm back. And we've got Comcast back. Hear now the newz...
I had an all day meeting today in cHARLOTtesville. So there's that.
Wife stayed home to work and to wait for Comcast technician to arrive.
The following took place between the minutes of 11:30 and 11:35 a.m....
- Wife gets yet another email from her boss (they'd been coming all morning)
- Nana begins to throw up again
- Wife goes ahead and calls the doctor
- Comcast lady arrives
- Dog commences to defend the premises
- Nana ~calls~ wife to say "I'm sick"
I'm not making this up. It all happened at once.
The resultz...
Wife took Nana to the doctor. Turns out that apparently what had been making her sick was the gout medicine the ER doctor told her to start taking again. Regular doctor said that was way more than the normal dosage. So we've taken her off that. 'Course she had one of 'em with her tonite and took it anyway.
Comcast lady got the Internet service to come back into the house. She also hooked up the router. Both the pc and the laptop ~said~ they were getting signals. But the Internet wouldn't connect. She kept thinking I had something blocking it. So I'm on the phone with her from cHARLOTtesville telling the ~expert~ things to try.
None of them worked.
When I got home tonight, I unplugged the modem and powered down both the PC and the laptop.
Both are working just fine.

Good grief. Um, no offense, but considering your luck maybe I shouldn't have invited you to the wedding.
Just kidding - I'll take my chances. I can use all the friends I've got :-)

Speaking of Jack, I was impressed in one of the last episodes when ...
he managed to break a guy's neck while hand-cuffed, half-stuned, and going through heroin withdrawal.Jack's a tough cookie, no doubt about it.
To: RosieCotton
Just wait... he gets more impressive yet in that season! ;)

Oh dear...
Well, welcome back to the internet! And I do hope Nana's finally going to be able to feel better.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
I'm also getting the impression that...poor Tony spends most of every season incapacitated. I haven't seen seasons one or four yet, but in season two, Jack beat him up and he was on crutches most of the day. Season three, he got shot in the neck. Season five...he was almost killed when Michelle was and then ultimately dies. Rough life.
To: RosieCotton
Heh, yeah... Tony had it rough all right! :)

It's always something with you, Corin. ;o) I've got a co-worker who's been having much the same run of luck.
We've decided to blame it on Rasputin.

We've decided to blame it on Rasputin.Sounds like he's deserving of the blame. ;o)
I hope they get Nana's meds straightened out. The folks at the ER gave Mama Valium once, unbeknownst to my just older and younger sisters, because one of my brothers had taken her there during his weekend with her. Unfortunately, Valium worked like uppers on Mama, and I was the one who was with her that following week. It was an interesting time, I can tell you!

What I didn't realize until tonight was what she took ~before~ I took her to the ER.
Between 2:00 and 8:00 that morning she took 8 (yes EIGHT) Vicodin.
We've hidden her meds.
g'nite folks
