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!

OK, but... a bus on train tracks?

You somehow expect the Obama bus to be on the right road?

Well, I’ve been thinking about you gus all morning...

Had to go get my labwork drawn...it was a fasting bloodwork and I wasn’t fasting yesterday when I got my eyes checked...so I had to go back today.

Now I’m having donuts! Heh!

(One of the things I had drawn this morning was cholesterol...gonna be terrible, you just watch. I had three large bowls of chocolate mint ice cream after supper last night.)

Oh my goodness...I hear it’s awful! My dad had one. He’s usually a very quiet nice fellow but when he was passing that stone, the admissions lady asked him for his insurance card and he threw his wallet at her.

First thing in the morning...

So that's why he was in such a troublemaking mood last night.

Take care...

He was my best first guess. :( My officemate at the OldJob got them routinely. You'd walk out to go heat up your lunch in the break room and walk back in to find him ashen-faced with beads of sweat rolling off his temples. Then it would turn into a nagging game, "Would you *please* call your wife so she can get you to the doctor's??? Grrr!" And his response would be that the doctors really can't do much. For the small ones, I've learned, that's pretty much true. They doped me up until the worst was passed, and that dope was an interesting scary experience - 3 minutes and I was babbling like Paula Abdul. I'm home now and 2/3 done. As soon as it's no longer in the bladder it can be analyzed for chemical make-up and I'll know if I have to give up foods like chocolate, nuts, and strawberries. That would be a serious blow to my quality of life - lol!

Hugs to everyone - I love the HH.

I’m sorry to be amused, but isn’t is ironic that you, the skinny little thing, have trouble with cholesterol, when I, who could easily make two of you, don’t? Life’s a funny thang, ain’t it?

And I just found a more complete list! *if* it is a calcium oxalate stone, these foods should be limited because they contain excess amounts of oxalate:

(higher to lower...) rhubarb, spinach, beets, swiss chard, wheat germ, soybean crackers, peanuts, okra, chocolate, black Indian tea, sweet potatoes, grits, grapes, celery, green pepper, red raspberries, fruit cake, strawberries, marmalade, and liver.

That's a crummy deal, right there.

Dang...that’d be a big part of my diet.

Well...except the liver. And soybean crackers. Bleh.
