Yeah - doing pretty well on the work thing... been very busy and should be busier. resisted coming back till now... Hullo!
To: JenB;Penny1
I didn't notice any beeps, but I may not have watched Lothlorien yet... still haven't watched it all the way through.
I can do a chat/watch tonight... earlyish as I have to get up early tomorrow.

Okay, sounds like tonight's the night. Is 6 pm Pacific/9 pm Eastern a workable time to begin?
Htur_75, are you signed up at our Yahoogroup? That's the chatroom we usually use.
This will be so fun! :) :)
To: Penny1
But I don't have my antenna plug problem resolved yet! Once I'm able to make an audio connection between my laptop and the VCR, I'm transferring it to video. Looks pretty good on TV.
9:00 is okay but I might not be there at the end.
To: Overtaxed
Well, when you get your antenna/tv/sound hookup fixed, that'll give us another excuse to do this again. ;)
Sounds like it will be Party in the Chatroom!!!! tonight. :)
To: Penny1
Make that amplifier plug (well they both start with"a")!
To: Penny1
A party? Oh good. I'll bring seedcakes!

We found it! We found the Precious!!!
Thought it was lost, we did, but we found the cable with the amplifier plug at one end and RCA plugs at the other!
Movie is recording now, it is...tape should be ready by 9:00.
To: Overtaxed; JenB
Yayyy! We are partying to-night! :) :)
To: Penny1
Good, because the thought is getting me through this math class. In only a few hours, I'll be watching the fellows and discussing them with likeminded folkses!

Unfortunately, I am looking doubtful for tonight. If I don't make it, have fun!
To: ecurbh;Penny1;HairOfTheDog;2JedisMom;Overtaxed;htur_75
Hullo all!
I am ready, how about you guys? Or did you secretly decide to play a joke on me and you won't be showing up?

I finally got around to taking that personality test, and I am most like (drumroll please!)..................Legolas!
Actually the personality description they offered is pretty dead-on, too. (FWIW)
To: MozartLover
Well I am LOTR deprived, so couldn't join the fun. In any case, I am feeling more than a little somber tonight, due to the world situation. I see the dark clouds spreading from Mordor covering all of Middle Earth. Places that seemed civilized and free only recently are scenes of Orcish violence. The terrible evil which we thought destroyed 57 years ago spreads through its home continent and around the world. The demonic forces in the East and South gain in strength and impudence, threatening all with an eternal night of the soul.
The people of freedom surrounded by the forces of hate withdraw behind barricades, while in the stronghold of the forces of decency weasel-tongued agents of the Dark Lord say that his victory cannot be gainsaid. Who is there now to take the Ring of Power and hurl it to destruction in Mount Doom?
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Who indeed..............
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Oh, LCS, you sound depressed tonight... the world is bleak. But after all, no one really likes the time when they live...
So do all who live in such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we must do is decide what to do with the time we are given.... there are other forces at work in the world besides the will of evil.
I don't know why, but that is an encouraging thought.

All we must do is decide what to do with the time we are given.You are right, we must 'fight the good fight', like the Fellowship and the men of Gondor and Rohan at the Gate of Mordor, without any hope of victory by our own skill, because it is the right thing.
To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla
Our job isn't to win; it's to get to Mt. Doom, whatever the cost. All we can do is what we are called to do. Or maybe we're not the Ringbearer - maybe we're the Riders of Rohan at Helm's Deep, or the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain... We don't really know until the end, so we have to try our best along the way.

On top of the matters discussed above, I have been most disheartened as a Catholic with the recent betrayal of God and decency by those who are the leaders of the flock. Now I better understand the betrayal of the forces of righteousness in Middle Earth when they discovered the treachery of Saruman the White.
