The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...
Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog
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!

Did you recognize yourself?
It was entirely unintentional, but as I was writing I realized that Mary Ross has an overbearing mother...
To: RosieCotton
Your excerpt is really really good!
Creepy, yes, but really good.

And apparently hens...

...maybe she could find out that her overbearing mother has breast cancer. I just found that out about my mom. She's going into surgery on Wednesday. That's a double strike against me. My grandmother on my father's side died of it.

That’s three votes for awesome. That makes it gospel, right?

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. But if they catch everything soon enough, they can do wonderful things through treatments. Keep us posted.
To: 2Jedismom
That’s not good. Sending prayers.

I was just reading back through mine, trying to decide where to go next, and I realized that entirely by accident, I named a minor character “Betty Davis.”
Oh well, editing comes in December.
To: Corin Stormhands; Lil'freeper
Right...They did. Caught it very quickly. Get this...I have always been diligent, because of my grandmother that died before I was born. I told my mom a few weeks ago that I was going in for my mammogram and she said "Good idea...I should do that to." And they found it.

I made my minimum word count for the evening. I failed to write a snappy scene, I failed to insert the wit, or political exposition. But I did manage some romantic tension. I’m just going to have to call it good enuf. Hasta manana.

So my oldest little brother is going Army-ROTC. To pay for his electrical engineering degree.Please send me some contact information, so we can send him a Hobbit Hole pocket knife to inspire him. When he gets his butter bar, we'll send something a bit more substantial.

This is a kid who didn’t get his driver’s license until 18 because he wouldn’t stop making cracks about knocking down old ladies.He's definitely Infantry material.

Dang, 2J, I'm sorry. I'll pray for her. Hopefully it's pretty early on.
...One of the nurses at work has been out for much of the last year due to chemo and the after effects for breast cancer. Last week they found she has a number of tumors in her brain, as well. The prognosis isn't good at all. So you could be praying for her, too. She's such a sweetheart...everyone is really heartbroken about all this.
