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

Posted on 01/03/2008 6:35:58 PM PST 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!

Heh heh!!

Does she wear Chuck Taylors?

I swear...I waited years to buy a pair of Nursemates shoes. They used to be all the style but expensive. They’re not anymore...everyone wears “Crocs” type shoes now and I found a pair of Nursemates for $19.

They make my feet stink so bad I can barely stand to be around myself! Saturday evening I sat in the living room and gave myself an intense pedicure! Soaked my feet in clorox solution even!

Then sanitized the shoes in the washing machine.

If they make my feet stink any more, I’m getting myself a pair of white Chuck Taylors!

Actually, I think it was a ferret.

No, but my character in the Christmas show wore a pair of red high top Chuck Taylors.

I love 'em, but there's absolutely no support in those shoes at all.

Didn’t you say you enjoyed the movie “Little Miss Sunshine”?

Ohhh...my dream shoes!

I know you’re right...they don’t have any support.

I’m seriesly wondering if the fact that in the show I wore those shoes and walked with a cane (hunched over) contributed to my current back issues.

I believe that’s reason #70-something...

WooHoo 70’s! We’re going up to almost 50 today, and tomorrow, they’re threatening in the 60’s! We’re going to enjoy it, cause it won’t last long. ;o)

Maybe you shouldn’t do the show next year...

Did I mention this already?

On August 12 I’ve got a “date” for dinner at a particular wings restaurant (with an Owl motif) with a few close friends to discuss our list of reasons for not doing the show.

Mrs is now of the same mind (that's a major advancement in the plan). And, we've figured we can take care of Luke by saying "if we don't do the show we can spend Thanksgiving week at Disney World."

Yeah, you mentioned that. Good for you!

You know what you should do? Book that Disney trip now. If you’ve already got the plans made, that’s one more reason not to do the show.

I had no idea you were considering not doing the show next year...

I have lots of work to do on mine too. I just need to get off my butt and do it.

I just put out an APB to the hospital and the two agencies I work for alerting them that I am available to work tonight...

First come, first served! Just waiting for the phone to ring now.

LOST? How many years has it been? Sheesh! Anyone too stupid to get off an island in that amount of time should have died of stupidity long before.

Hmmm.... maybe you should go "highest bidder" instead and see what happens!

It stopped making noise and was quiet the rest of the morning. Trying to decide if I should still call.

It might have a belt in it that is getting a little loose. No big deal. Car fan belts can squeel for ages when slightly loose with not major issue. If it explodes I will deny this post claiming someone hijacked my account.

We’ll probably book in the next month or so. We have to plan out the rest of the summer with wife’s work, possible choir missions trip (one, not both of us) and beach week.

But we’ve been doing the research on Disney and getting all the facts we need.
