The Hobbit Hole XXXV - ...is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

[FrogInABlender]

...Our furnace is making squeaking sounds...

Is the smell of mouse pee was also wafting out of it or are you referring to another type of squeaking?

[HairOfTheDog]

I think it’s a fan belt or something.... no mouse pee smell. ;~\

[RosieCotton]

Ah, yeah. I was forgetting about that. So for yours it’s not rewriting as in editing...it’s rewriting in order to write.

I’m still making up my mind whether my story needs that or not. I get frustrated with lack of realism. It’s not as though I really know everything there is to know about everything I could possibly want to write about. Ain’t gonna happen. But I end up dead in the water over details that don’t matter.

[Corin Stormhands]

Haven’t you known me long enough to know that I should never ignore ~any~ warning sounds?

It might not hurt to have it serviced.

[RosieCotton]

Thanks!

[Corin Stormhands]

I feel it only fair to warn you that your character...um...evolved...

[FrogInABlender]

Well that’s good...I guess. Given your track record with mice getting into places they’re not supposed to be, like the truck dashboard, I just wondered. ;o)

[RosieCotton]

Oh dear...squeaking?

But yeah, if it was Corin’s furnace, this would probably be a lead-in to ‘sploding. ;-)

Someone on Craisglist wants a “baby gait”.

Sometimes misspellings crack me up...

[JenB]

Does that mean she’s now an acid-tripping showgirl who trains marmosets?

[Corin Stormhands]

Let me know if you find a good offer for a chester drawers.

[Corin Stormhands]

Does that mean she’s now an acid-tripping showgirl who trains marmosets?

Well, she wasn't...

**makes notes in margins**

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, I won’t rule it out... One never knows in this place!

[HairOfTheDog]

Did that guy ever find his marijuana... and did they post a phone number? ;~)

[HairOfTheDog]

...let's also not forget--let's not forget, Dude--that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city-- that isn't legal either.

[Corin Stormhands]

I found out recently that to have a bunny in my county you have to have an agricultural zoning permit.

“No more pets, Luke. It’s illegal.”

Sometimes I love the law.

[RosieCotton]

But that was a marmot.

Not that an acid-tripping showgirl would necessarily know the difference...

[RosieCotton]

You know, I have no idea.

Craiglist is full of such mysteries...

[FrogInABlender]

Y'all live in such an interesting place!
