I rarely venture out of here. Since the new format, I haven't been comfortable surfing FR. I don't even know where the breaking news is anymore.
To: 2Jedismom
Oh you can venture! - It isn't that bad! [ok, maybe it is, but I don't mean the format] Breaking news is in my sidebar, which you can set up so you see what is happening. You want to know how? - Or are you comfortable where you are?
To: HairOfTheDog
Yes, I'd like to know where breaking news is!
To: 2Jedismom
OK!
Do you have any topics in your sidebar? - Because you can put whatever you want there!
Breaking News:
1 - Click Latest at the bottom of this page to get out to the main list page...
2 - Click "News Activism" (Upper Right)to get into the News Forum
3 - Click "Topics" (Upper right in the Title Bar)
Anything that is a Topic can be put in your sidebars, and any new thread posted to that topic will appear there all the time. In order to select them though, you need to be in the right "forum" that topic lives in: "Hobbit Hole=General Interest & Breaking News=News/Activism
4 - When all the Topics are listed, click Breaking News, or whatever topic, and you will see all the latest threads posted to that topic. At the top of the page will be a link that says "You do not subscribe to this Topic, click here to subscribe"
You can do the same thing in the General interest forum for the Hobbit Hole... The Hobbit Hole is a Topic, and all the new LoTR threads are indexed to it.
Click on your name in the latest page too and you can find all kinds of options, like how many titles you want to see in each sidebar, and what order to put them in.
I currently have Breaking News at the top, then Washington State news, then The Hobbit Hole.
Hope this makes sense... browse around... You can set it up any way you like if you play around with it!

I may be out now for the day... See you all tonight if I don't make it back before goin' home time!
To: HairOfTheDog
Clear as a bell! I have my Hobbit topic set up for three topics, my breaking news set up for 5 topics and my Oklahoma news set up for 1, because it rarely changes.
To: 2Jedismom
Very good then! I am leaving now for home now! See you all in a few hours.
To: HairOfTheDog
Hullo, see you when you get in! Checking in - that's a silly article about Frodo being charged with war crimes. I suppose it's meant to be parody but sadly it's too true...
Ugh, what a Monday. I'm so glad to be home.

Hi Jen! I'm enjoying Breaking News. Bush is fixin' to speak. I wish he'd say he's gonna pound Iraq into the dust like I did that black widow the other day! LOL
To: 2Jedismom
Ooohhh, we can hope, can't we?

OK! - I am home! Survived Seattle!
I didn't really read the Frodo article yet... couldn't really focus on it at the office.
I am going to go take a look around...
See what's happening.
To: HairOfTheDog
See what's happeningPresident had a press conference.
Sauron sued Frodo.
Pretty quiet otherwise...
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Missed the press conference
I thought Sauron was dead.
Glad it is quiet... That must mean nothing bad is happening.
To: HairOfTheDog
Missed the press conference
I thought Sauron was dead. Same here, on both counts!
Glad it is quiet... That must mean nothing bad is happening.
Either that, or it's the calm before the storm...
Oh, well, I'm done with work and on my way home. Catch you later!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Wow, the last post was four and a half hours ago! Quiet in the Hole!
To: HairOfTheDog
Well, since there isn't anyone here and since I sliced my index finger open on something sharp near my gas cap (hard to type), I think I'll shut down this machine and go read for a few minutes.
Good night. See you in the morning.
To: 2Jedismom
It sure is quiet! - Why for I wonder. I posted a news flash in the Spoiler thread too. No Arwen at Helm's Deep... No comments at all...
Is this the summer doldrums?
To: 2Jedismom
We were posting to each other at the same time - ships passing in the night! Good Night!
To: HairOfTheDog
Good Morning!
Arwen's not at Helm's Deep? If she takes Halbarad's place she shouldn't show up until they're on they're way back from Isengard. With any luck we'll lose her on the Paths of the Dead. :)

Good morning, all! I am still DSL-less...and now, I have to conserve my alotted dialup time (only get 20 hours per month of dialup access). And of course I am now cut off at work. Argh! Anyway, wanted to say "hi" and hope to be back soon...
I am having to wait on Earthlink, I think I chose the wrong way to contact them. I like working these things out via email, but I have heard nothing back from them, so it looks like I'll have to get on the old fashioned telephone and get them to help me. :(
Take care, everyone, hope to be able to chat with you soon!
To: Overtaxed; All
Morning. Quiet hobbitses around here. Wife needed computer last night so I worked on paperwork (bills, etc.) ...ick...
