The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

When I have to give a pill that they won't eat I put it in an old paste wormer syringe, pour some syrup over it, let it sit till it dissolves, and squirt it in. Horses like syrup:)

The youth pastor should understand, and even approve, I am sure. I think he will. We've had situations like this before, but none quite this crucial.
I'm a little concerned because the rehearsal is a final dress rehearsal and Jr. has a small speaking part. Although he has yet to tell us what that is. Still, I think it will be okay for him to miss.
He's just gonna be exhausted.

Howcome you and I are about the same age but you got electrics in high school? I finally took typing my sophomore year to get an easy credit and we still had dadburn manuals! at least it was better than mama and daddy's.

I read about Bay's diagnosis. I have to say again how very lucky he is to have you for his momma!

Good morning! - Glad you stayed over here! - This is a great group of folk - We talk Tolkien to horses to cooking to typewriters!
See my above about the horse drugs! Can you imagine 25 pills if they tasted bad?

Diet? What's diet, Precious?

What did you pour on the lembas, Ruthy? Is it chipped beef?
Looks good, anyway.

Ooooo, that don't sound good. But it sounds like it's the developer and not the county. Maybe you should try to contact the other (soon to be) homeowners. They may be experiencing the same frustrations. You'd have more strength (and resources) together.
But what a pain. Gripe to us here. We can't fix it. But we can listen.
To: RMDupree
Mmmmmm.....Operation Chocolate
To: Sam Cree; RMDupree
Ah...creamed chipped beef and its many nicknames! That's one of my brothers' favorite meal. He'll call me up once in a while and ask if I'll make it if he brings the beef part. I like it too...but in my case a big part of it is that it's cheap and easy to make!
To: RMDupree; PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain
Diet? What's diet, Precious? Becky!!! Ruthy!!! I'm going to have to get a stick after you two! D__t is a 4 letter word. We don't use that kind of language in the Hobbit Hole!

I remember explaining to the rabbi that our son was going to miss some Hebrew School because of Boy Scouts, and the rabbi was fine with it. Luckily that was before Reform Judaism asked all parents to withdraw their kids from scouting.

When I have to give a pill that they won't eat I put it in an old paste wormer syringe, pour some syrup over it, let it sit till it dissolves, and squirt it in. Horses like syrup:) To give Bay Bute I mash it up and mix it with some molasses and thin it with warm water till it will pour, and use an old wormer syringe.
I wont say he likes it, because in the week last year where I was Buting him every day, he started to hate me for it. If these drugs are going to be a life-maintenance routine, I didn't want to have to go through that twice daily, so I am relieved he will just eat them, for now.
Have you ever tried applesauce? - I am not sure my horse would even eat applesauce, but a friend swears they will, and that she mixes Bute in that.
