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!
Yes, I have her number and she is actually my “contact person” so that works out great!
My number stayed the same. I ported it over from Virgin.
When we bought our first house, we had to cut down a big mimosa tree in our back yard because I'm allergic to them, somehow. Don't know if it's the fluffy blossoms or what, but I'd get all choked up and my eyes would get vey watery.
Well, had to run Barkley into the vet this morning, he had his neck get stuck again and he was screaming bloody murder. By the time I got him in to see the vet, he was FINE. He’s got some kind of an odd neck nerve pinch thing going on, that seems to be set off suddenly, and that passes. We decided if he does it again, we’ll do a full xray and see if there’s anything they can see.
All the best on your scan today... keep us posted tonight, OK? :~)
Poor little feller.
I was glad I got to see Dr. Castle... I know he believes there WAS something wrong with him, really, when I am hassling the vet techs about getting him right in. He spent a good long time poking and prodding, it just didn’t happen again.
Oh and I had to leave the feral kittens loose in the house, because they’d been out when all this happened and I didn’t have time to corral them in. So I put Gidget and Homer in the bedroom and left. Couldn’t find the little peanut for awhile, but I think she was just moving around the circle ahead of me. Eventually I spotted her and herded her in. :~)
I was telling my mom a while back that I wanted to get a pair of rimless glasses someday and she told me that rimless glasses were out of fashion then proceeded to tell me what I really wanted.
However, now that Sarah Palin has rimless glasses, she has voiced admiration of them and said she’d like to get some.
So I found them online! Called her up and told her where she could get them online for about $40! She told me she wasn’t interested (in the tone of voice that only white trash bums buy glasses online which is of course where I get mine.)
Anyway...maybe I’ll get a pair in a payday or two! They said on TV that her frames were $300!

Here is a picture of Sarah Palin to compare them to.

Thag you very buch!
I just took the opportunity to check out DU before getting ready to go.
It’s an odd feeling...I feel kinda like I’m watching Maury Povich or something. Kinda like I’m aghast at what I see yet fascinated and amused at the same time.
Aw, geez...poor Barkley! Think the motion of the truck helped somehow?
Although it’s good that he was fine pretty quickly, it’s frustrating that you weren’t able to show them how he was reacting.
I know the feeling 2J... I have it whenever I go over there, too. ;~)
This is the second time he’s done this, of course. The last time, he was still in pain when he got to the vets, but there still wasn’t anything she could feel, except that he’d scream if you tried.
Just keeping an eye on him.
I avoid DU except for PJ-Comix’s DUmmie Funnies threads. Those people are off the planet.
er, pingy to the above...
Hehe... are you actually using one as an avatar?
That’ll get some attention...
Naw, I’m too chicken. I try to keep the politics out of my yarn.
