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!

[Ramius]

Woohoo!

[Peanut Gallery]

Hey, new digs? Where is everyone?

[2Jedismom]

Yes! A new thread before I have to log off for the day!

[SuziQ]

We gots a horsey in the door!!

[TalonDJ]

Woot!

[TalonDJ]

ooo, That might be my first single digit HH post.

[SuziQ]

It s ccccc-cold here! I'm baking up some Cornbread, and we're having Chili left over from last night.

[SuziQ]

Izzat Bay? Looks like he's saying "Willllbur"!

[2Jedismom]

Mmmm!

Corn bread sounds good!

[Professional Engineer]

Moving day again?!

[HairOfTheDog]

Speaking of Brookes ... (audio)

[HairOfTheDog]

It's Cyn... :~)

Welcome to the new thread everyone!

[TalonDJ]

Trying to do part of a computer based training thing before going home... No fair! Those things are suppose to be easy. This one is asking me to calculate stuff with equations. I guess it is time to go home.

[SuziQ]

I was out of regular milk, so I tried a Buttermilk Corn Bread recipe. Had some Saco Buttermilk Powder that I added to the dry ingredients, so I only had to add water! Smells GOOD! Since the oven is fired up, and the cold wind is still howling, I think I'll make some Oatmeal Cookies!

[SuziQ]

It's Cyn... :~)

Is she saying "Haaiirr!" ?

[HairOfTheDog]

I was out of regular milk, so I tried a Buttermilk Corn Bread recipe

I think that's how lembas is made ;~)

[JenB]

We're gonna get eaten by the horse...

[Lil'freeper]

Speaking of Lembas. I have decided the flour part of the cookie is chia flour. That stuff is filling. It's a very slow-digesting fiber. I had an energy bar with some chia seeds in it that was extremely filling and my first thought was lembas.... with chocolate.

[HairOfTheDog]

I have decided the flour part of the cookie is chia flour.

Chia???

[Lil'freeper]

Exactamundo.

[Rocko]

Present.

[osagebowman]

Well, howbouthat - new thread; Thanks for the PING. Cyn decided to say hello.

Place looks nice, well, it won't take long to get that 'lived in' look some of us appreciate.

[RosieCotton]

Looks like I'm late to the party!

Izzit Friday yet?

[JenB]

Based on the title of this thread, I expect either you or Corin to get flooded out next month.

[RosieCotton]

Except...we ain't the ones on the plain...

[JenB]

We're well above the river... not exactly a flood zone here.

[ExGeeEye]

There we are...

[Corin Stormhands]

I'm here.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, keep things under control here for me... I've stirred up a hornet's nest over at the horse forum :~)

[RosieCotton]

Kewl...what about?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Just watched the last two episodes of "Lost", and enjoyed them both, although I enjoyed last week's ep (with Hugo and the microbus) better. Still, good to get back to the more interesting characters on the island!

[HairOfTheDog]

Oh yeah - we have a LOST to watch! I forgot! Rosie... how about tomorrow earlier?

[HairOfTheDog]

Whether or not one should stand on their horse... believe it or not :~)

Standing up on your horse - Cool or Careless?

[RosieCotton]

Tomorrow would be OK - or this weekend.

I have cookies if the DVR didn't work...

[RosieCotton]

Dang...nine pages? Wouldn't have thought it'd create so much controversy.

IMO, I'd go with careless. More than careless - stupid. Even on a really well trained horse, it still strikes me as rather like using a reallllly tall wheeled office chair to reach that thing way at the back of the shelf - only the chair has a mind of its own. Wouldn't take much to end in disaster, even without factoring in hurting the horse.

But that's just me.

[HairOfTheDog]

Go figure :~)

[2Jedismom]

C came over and helped me set up my DVDR. So that's done, no more stacks of VCRs, no more tapes to change out every morning.

I am exhausted however. Totally wiped out.

Gonna finish off the cholesterol medicine and take a hot soak and hit the hay.

Gotta go to the doctor tomorrow afternoon. Oh joy.

[SuziQ]

I like having the DVR. As long as you set the timer, it does great!

[athelass]

Nice place you got here. Love the view. Thanks for the ping. See ya' tomorrow..uh, later today.

[JenB]

Bear, are you guys planning to see "300"? Talon and I hope to go tonight, we hear it's awesome.

[Lil'freeper]

My latest batch of yogurt didn't turn out at all. It curdled instead of setting. Very disappointing, not to mention unappetizing. Hrm.

[Corin Stormhands]

"300" is opening at the IMAX here tonight. Jr. is going to try to go.

[JenB]

Talon will be jealous. None of the three Imaxes in Iowa have it. I think Imax might be a bit overwhelming.

We haven't been to a movie in... well, not since before we got married, and that's six months today. There just hasn't been anything worth seeing.

[Corin Stormhands]

We understand. We rarely get to the movies. We want to try to see "Amazing Grace" this weekend.

[Lil'freeper]

Happy semi-aniversary!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Yep, we're planning to see "300", but maybe not until next weekend. I think we're going to see "Amazing Grace" this weekend, instead.

Usually we like to see the blockbusters a week after their release, so as to miss the big crowds.

[JenB]

Hmm, that's not a bad plan! We are both in the mood for an action movie though. Hafta hear you and Corin report on Amazing Grace, though, I haven't really heard anything about the movie, just its premise.

[JenB]

Hee, doesn't seem like six months. Not sure if it seems less or more.
