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!

Thanks. Nana’s back at the nursing home now.

They were able to get her BP back up. They think it could have been a reaction to the gout medicine they gave her. She had a bad reaction to the same medicine before.

He looks so cheery about the situation!

Glad Nana is better. Hopefully this time they’ll actually make note of the fact that that medication is a problem for mer!

Do Elves celebrate birthdays? How many candles can you fit on a cake?

I think that's a theological question that best belongs in the religion forum.

No Gimli, I would not take the roads through the Religion Forum unless I had no other choice.

So I updated my W4 last week to withold an extra $60 from my paychecks so we don’t get hit with a big tax bill next week.

And apparently, we have the stupidest HR department ever and they interpreted that as 60%.

I nearly screamed when I opened my pay stub today.

*And* I got my back pay retroactive for my raise this week. Or would have, except for HR. Grr.

OK, so it’s not really funny. But geesh...duh!

Hope they’re able to straighten it out!

Perzackly...

Every so often I peek in, confirm that certain posters make me think seriously evil thoughts despite their claims to meaning well, and back out again.
