Yeah.... would have been worse, certainly. I wouldn't be out for Saddam's head on my own, but I trust the president. Have to. I trust him to know more than I can about what the real threat is to us. So if he says go, I support it. Wimpy I know, but I don't have expertise in this stuff. I don't know it all.

Oh - don't start at the beginning! - our endless chatter will certainly turn you to stone! We are a bunch of folk who like Tolkien and the movies and each other a lot... we bickered some today, but we are a great group here. In fact, the bickering is your fault, isn't it? - You posted that blasted thread! LOL!

Well, the French had a chance to stop Hitler with very little effort and maybe no loss of life, but didn't want to take a chance. If they could have seen in the future, they'd have probably taken the chance.

W, I believe, sees the U.S., as I do, as being mortally threatened by Islamic terrorists. He wants to do whatever may be necessary to end the threat to insure our survival. If these people would kill 3000 of us and dance with joy over it, there's probably not much doubt they'll do worse one day.

Elves do, you know.

I just caught a bit of the show...I'm even to busy to stay around the computer and read my replies! But it looked really cool (the five minutes I saw). Channel 10 always shows things again...I'll look for it in the guide.

I'm hoping things calm down by the weekend.

Heh.... I know... I am afraid I have fallen for an elf. Hroomm! I mean... I still love little Elijah Wood, but he is so young I should be arrested.

And Aragorn... well, I just feel outgunned by the other babes in the story, so I just look.

Sigh! Yeah! do catch a replay if you can, it was really a good one. The wargs coming at the group are really really really really really scary. I think I may keel over.

Good to see you down here in the Hobbit Hole. I am a daily lurker here. I'm waiting to see if I can race to the 50,000. While you are here, look back just a little for some of John Farson's posts. I was just reading over some of them. You're just the one to offer some helpful discussion on the subject. I'll bet.

I cannot go to this movie alone.... What am I going to do?

I know the feeling! All the friends I went with last year are up in MN. I'm trying to get my brother to go with me, but I don't know if it will work out.

Well, I just want someone to be with me when I get scared... man, those Wargs freaked me out coming at me! ;~D

My brother and a friend will be going with me to the midnight show, I talked him into it, and another friend wanted to go because it will be a grand adventure!

For FoTR, I actually liked going alone most of the time, it was less distracting since I don't have friends except Penny that are really into it, or that have read the book in the last ten years (if at all).

Hullo! - Good Morning!

Morning! We have lots and lots of snow! Well, maybe 5 inches but for MD, that's a lot but it's not enough to stop the Army, so I'm at work. *pout* I'm kicking myself for missing the special last nite, but I'll read through the posts and see what I missed.

Five inches is enough snow! Are you in the army Lil'freeper?

Catch a replay of that special if you can, it was a good one.

Hubby is in the Army, but will be getting out soon. I'm a civilian scientist and battled my way in. They've upped the accumulation forcast to maybe 12 inches, but the forcasters are known for hyperbole. Out of four "major winter storm events" (last winter and this one) it has only snowed once. Heh Heh Heh

How's this:

Not bad...though I think (like Viggo) he looks better grungy.

I still think Faramir may turn out to be the best looking of the men - that's MEN, and not MALES. ;-) And then there are Elves...and Hobbits...

Ah! - well, 12 inches is also a lot of snow!.

Alternating between drizzle, showers and rain here in the great Northwest.

The office mates and I are having fun as hardly anybody is here. We've been watching movie trailers trying to size up the competition for the Academy awards and listening to TTT on CD. Can't complain.

Good morning, all! It's a beautiful crystal clear snow-covered day. 19 Degrees outside, but supposed to warm up to over freezing anyway! High is going to be in the 50s tomorrow!

What an exciting program that was last night! Does my countdown actually say 12 days???

Where's the coffee?
