The Hobbit Hole XXXVII - ...Down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed!

Posted on 09/25/2008 6:43:34 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!

Hello! This one won’t become legendary till everyone finds it. Our last one disappeared suddenly yesterday and some of them aren’t real good about sudden changes or directions. :~)

No, these threads aren't focused on much of anything any more, but we're willing to chat about nearly any subject. ;~)

Yesterday, ksen posted a thread about earth homes, but it might have been lost in the great "Wish there was an UNDO" crash of '08. ;~) If it doesn't come back, maybe he'll post it again.

Not that it doesn't need a new one, it does. I'll do that one a little later this morning maybe. :~)

Good morning! Glad to see a new Hole set up. I hope the previous one comes back eventually so I can get it archived...

In other news, I have an S-shaped septum.

Well, I went to an ENT specialist this morning to see if he could find out why I have so much sinus trouble. He did a 3-D CT-scan of my head right there in his office (wouldn't have *that* under socialized medicine!) and discovered that, although my nasal septum appears normal on the outside, as it proceeds further back into my head it suddenly makes a sharp swerve to one side of my nasal cavity, then straightens out to a more normal placement again. Which would explain many of my chronic symptoms.

The ultimate solution is surgery to correct it, but he's not recommending that yet... he wants to try me out on a non-steroidal nasal spray first to see if that helps alleviate the symptoms.

Interesting.

I don’t think my pipes are connected right either, but I’ve never looked into why.

I hope the easiest solution works.

That’s pretty amazing. I think you were one of the only ones to buy any of the homeschool stuff. I’ve taken down everything but my McCain Palin “Read My Lipstick” stuff right now.

And I’ve done over $2300 in gross sales in 3 weeks.

Good move!

Most of us homeschool moms don’t really have the bucks to spare on stuff. Palin supporters have more money to spend.

Besides, then I am envied more because I got one!!!

Hope the nasal spray works, Bear! When David was home last, he suggested doing a Neti-wash each day to clean out my sinuses. It works really well, even if I don’t remember to do it every day. It especially helps when the weather is really dry, like it is now, and when we start using the central heat, and the house gets so dry. It feels kinda funky because you pour water into one nostril and it comes out the other, but it sure does the trick!

So...Not Valerie is over on the Eastern Shore, and the van broke down. Can’t get the necessary part until tomorrow.

Which actually may be best since with the storm they’re talking about closing the bridge...

It’s the code that deletes, I think...John put in a drop table code, I think...and it caused all these problems. In the case of the cartoon, the parents named their kid something that would delete the student database when it was entered.

I think.

Did I get it right, ecurb?
