The Hobbit Hole XXXVI - O! Water cold we may pour at need...

Posted on 05/03/2008 8:48:06 AM PDT 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!

Woo-hoo!

I still have to do the stress test and the roto-rooter test.

*shudder*

Those just don't sound like any fun.

From what I hear, it all works out in the end...

Call Roto-Rooter, that’s the name, and away go troubles down the drain.

I think the first time i heard about them was in Alice in Wonderland, where they were used as croquet balls playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts (using flamingoes as mallets). Nicely portrayed in the Disney cartoon.

When I was scoped at both ends, they gave me Versed via IV. I remember the doctor saying we'd start now, and then saying everything looked good. Those were 20 minutes I didn't mind being stolen.

I think it would nicely compliment most any decor. :~)

Catching up, glad to hear you’re OK except for cholesterol... I’m not even sure cholesterol exists. :~)

Yeah, I’ve had the endoscopy done a couple of times and remember none of it.

I’m not so concerned about this procedure. It’s the preparation I’m not anticipating to be an enjoyable experience.

I personally see it as a sign that I should drink more wine.

He said let’s try a low cholesterol diet and come back in November.

WooHoo! congrats on the good bloodwork! I lowered my cholesterol by eating a combination of hot oatmeal and multigrain cereal every other day. I cook a 1/2 cup of the cereal combo, with 1/4 cup of a dried fruit blend in the microwave, then add a packet of Splenda, and a couple of tablespoons of fat-free 1/2 and 1/2. Talk about stick to your ribs!!

On the days I don't eat the hot cereal, I have a cup of plain low-fat yogurt, 3/8 cup of a good, not fatty and not too sweet granola, and a packet of Splenda. Mmmm.

Evening - 10 lbs of powder, yup, I reckon that would take a heap of shooting and reloading to dispose in the proper manner. W231 is the one I’d try if I was to change powders from Unique. I have heard it’s cleaner burning than Unique.

I’m not sure what powder G’nad uses in his reloading for his sidearms.
