Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

LOL!! Good for you! How clever is that?!!

[2Jedismom]

What's in it?

A dead body?

I'm havin' a big ol' bowl of grits for lunch! Just had a hankerin'.

[Wneighbor]

Fortunately, it's empty. I'd already determined that before bringing it home from school cause I tried to get into it from the bottom.

[HairOfTheDog]

But I know that's just me. I got a lot of anger and resentment in me stemming from my school daze. That's just the way it is.

And your job as parent is to pass all your angers and resentments on to your kids... That is also the way it is!

Honestly 2J.... my comment was a joke... I don't have traumatic school scars.

I do that!!! When I want 'em, I want a big ol' bowl!

Our Hobbit Hole guest o' the day has improved tremendously!

Steve actually signed up for a Discover Card, to get a free tee-shirt. GAVE them our unlisted phone number.

I got one of those $30 Tele-zappers, and put it on my phone line. It gives out that four-tone "this number is disconnected" signal whenever the phone connects, whether calling or answering. It's especially useful with computerized dialing systems that dial a whole bank of numbers blindly, since the false "disconnected" signal usually causes the computer to delist your number. Then when telemarketers sell or trade their lists, your number is propogated as "disconnected".

It's an extra layer of protection, along with the do-not-call list, which has some definitional holes in it.

Damn Straight!

LOL Just kidding but just barely.

Really, I only accentuate the positive...and see? It's working because Matthew saw the good in not having to stand in line, even when it never entered my mind!

I told him about the licks, but not how much I despise the old hag.

[2Jedismom]

I like 'em with just butter and salt.

[Overtaxed]

When I'm home, callers get a busy signal. When I'm not, they can talk to the machine. I check the caller ID to see if it's someone I want to call back or not.

[2Jedismom]

My cell phone has voice mail. I can get calls for free on it, and I can dial in my password from my landline to check my voicemail at no cost. I'm thinking of giving my number to people and having them leave a message and then I'll call 'em back from my land line or wait (if it's long distance) and call them back in the evening when my long distance is free.

Good news on the lock picking. I have a nice, like new, 4 drawer file cabinet at hole that I rescued from the trash at an old office. It was being tossed by a charity organization.

[2Jedismom]

Check this out...

Hard to see, but it looks like what I'm thinking of, don't you think?

[Overtaxed]

Got voice mail on my cell phone too....just have to figure out how to use it. :)

[Wneighbor]

I like 'em that way too... but add pepper.

And with gravy.... if I got it.

Or shredded cheddar....

Corin, I know you don't need parental confirmation, but... there were times when I was younger when my parents had to be strict with me. And I didn't like it at all. But now, I'm really glad they did.

I'll pray Jr gets his attitude together on his own...

[Wneighbor]

Does that site have patterns or are ya just gonna wing it?

[JenB]

Good afternoon! I'm in the office now. Thank goodness, I'm not sick today.

I'm having a nice spicy taco-meat-and-cheese mix in... lettuce. Ugh, sometimes I hate low-carb.

[2Jedismom]

I called in the evening and set it up because you have to do it from your cell phone and I have free minutes in the evening.

Then you could use it like an answering machine while you are on line. I just look at the cell phone while it's ringing and it tells who is calling (usually). I can then either check the message or call them right back from my land line.

I am vey proud of my cell phone...
