For those who check in on a regular basis (I do, daily) but rarely contribute (I'm there, too), I'd like y'all to know that MrsEx and I have made an offer on a Real House. Mrs Ex is all kinds of excited about it; I'm a bit busy running the numbers and seeing how to make it work. Meanwhile, it's a “short sale”, so now that the “owners” have agreed to the offer, their bank must do so as well. This could take a few weeks.

Will those of you who pray, join me in asking God to work His will— not ours— with the assurance that we are content to remain in this mobile home He so graciously provided just when it was needed, such being His will.

(The house is, I think, big enough to host a Moot, though TalonDJ and JenB will tell you Grand Rapids is a bit off the main road unless you're looking for it.)

Wow, will pray for ya!

Yeah, Grand Rapids was a bit out of the way, even when we lived in Iowa. Trying to think.... nobody lives out your way any more!

Happy Thanksgiving Week everybody!

I am planning to have lembas, or maybe a brace of coneys, with carrots, potatoes, and onions.

I am looking forward to a Christmas present of the remaining cast announcements for ‘The Hobbit’.

How about you folks?

Everyone in the world keeps calling me...except the bank that has to approve my house offer.

Congrats on the House - a nice snug domicile is a good thing. I have to admit, I had to look for your shire on a map. Good Luck on your new adventure. OB & LSA

Looks like a thread full of smartier-than-thou Tolkien/Rowling haters...

I would've thought all the trolls had turned to stone by our third or fourth thread.

That should be fun.

Also, FYI: I know who Leslie Neilsen was.

I remember James McArthur first, from the Disney movies, but I really like him in Spencer's Mountain.

Just catching up on the thread, and saw your note about the house!! Will keep you in my prayers. Maybe you’ll get a new house for Christmas!

No new official casting announcements have been made since the first one weeks back. There are rumors about various familiar and less familiar actors for certain parts. Since filming is to start within two months, official announcements will have to come soon now. I will be keeping an eye out for news.

I know that we haven’t been doing a lot of posting lately, but when filming starts interest should revive. Do you think we should start another Hobbit Hole thread? We have been on this one for fifteen months now.

We probably could do with a new Hobbit Hole thread for a new Hobbit movie!

Agreed, it’s slowed down now... but will pick up I’d think, when there’s lots of Hobbit activity starting. :~)

I, for one, check in daily, but post only occasionally.

May I suggest that everyone who checks in during the week just begun post something, like this:
