The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 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!

Heh... Don’t be picky! I’m just glad I didn’t end up with the Saddle club graphic on this one and vice-versa!

Do you have any idea why a company that was interested in Steve would want him to fill out a consumer report release?

Steve got an email from these guys with an application, the voluntary affirmative action form, and a consumer report release form attached.

I understand the app and the AA form, but not the consumer credit report form. Any thoughts?

I love you enough to give you a beagle :~D

He's going to the vet today, to renew his Thyroid prescription and find out what's entailed with that.

Lots of places want to do credit checks as part of screening applicants. I don’t like it.

He probably just needs more salmon in his diet.

I’ve heard that a lot of places are doing that sort of thing... not usually places I’d think Steve would work, though, mostly places like banks where there’s exposure of money. They want people who presumably won’t be tempted to take some home.

That is odd. I didn’t mind the drug test but I might object to the credit release. Call them and say you don’t want inquiries showing up against your credit because you’ve heard that can lower the score.

Can I let you know by two or so?

If’n it isn’t raining much and if I can leave a little early (may be able to), I may be able to ride back, too. But otherwise...I’d really appreciate a ride!

I’d owe ya pizza or something. ;-)
