Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
Well, I didn't look, but I'm assuming I have the same one.
Hey, I just got an abusive Freepmail from some troll about the Michael Crichton-Global Warming thread. How can I copy it to send the contents to Jim?
Just do a cut and paste into a new email. Put an explanation at the top.
Send it to JR, but also add: "Admin Moderator" and "Lead Moderator."
Hopefully that will get to them.
D'OH. I figured it out!
If you ~want~ to play hardball, you could also copy it and post it to the thread.
I'll send a copy to the Admin Moderator, too.
They're using the "S" word for Sunday.
Well, just let us know. It's been a while since we've all gone "booger-for-brains" on some troll...
If you don't get a response to the FRMail, do a 'Report abuse' on that thread and name the poster and copy the FRmail.
I'll check the thread to see if anyone else got the Freepmail; likely they did. That's the way it sounded.
I asked on that thread if anyone else had received it. Haven't heard back yet.
Tha's "S" as in "Sunny" right; surely not "s" as in "snow"! It's beautiful out!! Please tell me no more snow, I'm still chipping ice off the driveway.
It's beautiful here too! Sunny and warm, like a foretaste of spring! I can just see how lovely spring will be here.
The good weather must be getting to me. I want to write, and it's not even November. I've got a perky young narrator and a couple troublesome passengers and a short-haul cargo trip to the asteroids that hasn't got a plot yet but...
I think we need to move South!!
I was talking with my friend across the street, and he got a concussion (concussed himself?) falling on the ice, just getting out of his truck at a job site. The ice we have had this winter has killed a lot of people; just from occasionally reading the obits (checking to make sure I'm not in 'em, a la Corin) I know of two people who died from falls on the ice. I hope your shoulder heals up quickly!
My great-great-grandmother Miranda walked the Trail of Tears as a slave. Supposedly, when she got to Arkansas, she sat down and said she wasn't ever walking anywhere ever again, not if she could ride.
When she died, she was the widow of a man named Griffin or Griffith, who was rather well-off for the area and the times --- he had enough land to donate a parcel for a cemetery, and was paying taxes on several buggies, wagons, and horses. Family lore states that Miranda could afford to hire household help and drove a buggy everywhere she went.
