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.

LOL, I saw on one of those home video shows one time a guy who had a rooster that rode on the handlebars of his motorcycle when ever he went to town. It was haliarious.Chicken stayed right there whenever the guy had to go in someplace.

It's just that college students now are not the slightest bit attuned to what a typewriter "was." I am surprised at how many of them who use word processing programs don't understand why they need a keyboarding class. "It's too hard!" "We don't need that" "It's not necesary"I learned my keyboard skills through OJT. I'm pretty fast, very accurate, but my form would get me flunked in a typing class. The classes today should also include ergonomics, to avoid the dreaded (I have it, and it's dreaded) carpal tunnel syndrome. Mine flared up from using a too-small, not-right-for-me mouse. So proper mousing skills should also be taught.
One of the reasons it took so long for computers to permeate the workplace is because old-time executives thought that anything with a keyboard was "women's work", and refused to have anything to do with a computer, or even a dumb terminal. That generation of executives had to die off or retire before any further gains could be made. We're seeing the same process today with handheld computers and wireless.

Yeah! They are excited. The problem is, I don't have the clothes dry...so we're waiting on that in our PJs.
Clothes in the washer are always a problem for me. Out of sight, out of mind, you know? I forget to dry the clothes all the time.
To: RMDupree
Shhhhh! You're gonna get me sent to the time-out thread again....
To: HairOfTheDog
I must say I prefer just talking about different stuff now and then, instead of making myself all paranoid about all politics all the time . . .
Re pilling horses -- I used to make a "bolus" of molasses and fine oatmeal, put the pills in the middle of it, pull horse's tongue out of the side of his mouth, and reach in and place the bolus on the back of his tongue.
If looks could kill . . . .
The vet had a "pill gun" that was pretty amazing. Aim at the back of the throat and pull the trigger - ZAP! Just don't point it at anybody down the barn aisle . . . :-D
I am an expert at pilling cats, with two officially geriatric Siamese. They have learned that resistance is futile. . . . they don't even howl any more, they just swallow it quick and pretend that they don't know what happened . . .

Maybe its feet were nailed to the handlebars?

I forget to dry the clothes all the time. It's subconscious, 2J! You don't like the way the clean, dry clothes feel on your hands so you block them out of your mind altogether! LOL!

I have found the source of much of the mischief, and it is *you*, Ruthy!
To: RMDupree
Yep and then you'll say "the dwarf did it!"
To: Corin Stormhands
Well?
