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!
And those who really might be dangerous with such weapons are gonna find a way to bring weapons or some kind on board anyway.

Man - that seriesly blows. Sorry to hear ‘bout the Wave.
I was just on the phone with my skydiving pilot sister, out of Auburn, WA. She flies out of Pierce County Airport, and is a member of the Snohomish sky-diving club which had that recent tragic crash. The club had a party last night to work on reviving their spirits.
That sure is gory, but look on the bright side: hair grows back.
I’m really glad you’re ok. That’s... really a massive set of staples.
Yeah, but in his case, hair don’t make him look no better...
six, six, six, six
or not
I got the mega-evil post fer that one...
Wellll, not for all of us. :-/
Mmmmm.....spirits.....
Heh...so how do we interpret your getting the evil post number with that post?
It’s just to show that Corin is doomed.
Today, my hero and heroine met and were thrown into jail together. I consider this auspicious. They also had an argument within three seconds of meeting and have accused each other of being, respectively, incompetent at rescue operations, and a psychic stalker. They’re both right.
And my heroine is having a nice yell at her mother for being a wet blanket, useless, and walking out years ago. And not telling her about the rotten apples in the family tree.
I’ve spent an entire day writing as creepy stalker dude. Good times.
*shudder*
I remember that story. :-( Very sad.
I’m still writing, slowly though, but I’d rather do that than rush it.
Heh...but rushing it is kind of the point of NaNo. I admit, I’m sitting her wanting to slap Jen silly for her word count, but it’s true that the main point of this madness is to get a story down, any which way, with the idea that *later* you go back and polish it and maybe change a “blue” to “azure” here and a “ran” to “charged” there...etc.
Until I did NaNo for the first time, I took any writing I did way too seriously to ever make it past the first few thousand words because I’d analyze every sentence and keep writing and rewriting it. NaNo may be the other extreme, but it’s a good way to achieve a happy medium the rest of the year.
Well, she’s way ahead of me. In two days I’ve gone from nothing to 1230 words, which is good, but I need to speed it up a bit.
