The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Good morning everyone! - I think I am caught up, and I learned that lots of people have opinions about Mayonaise. I don't ~think~ I missed anything else, let me know if I did!

I have fed the horses and managed to find a cup of coffee and a summary of the morning news. Need to go do my walkie.
To: HairOfTheDog
Oh, man! Is that first picture great or what?
*thud*
I may have to find that video of him reading a kiddie book again tonight. My sister and I watched that a couple times last time she was over. (Couple doesn't have to mean two, right? ;)
To: HairOfTheDog
Well, it's 76 degrees out there, so I thought I should take advantage and mow. But it is so damp and humid!

I am looking forward to your pics! Trips with frodo don't have to be fancy to be good!
Do you need me to post them for you when you get them then? - I can....
To: RosieCotton
I am sure you are not supposed to get twittery when he is readin' the kids book.... It was on a children's site after all!
;~D
~THUD~
To: HairOfTheDog
Well...hey, liking kids and knowing when it's OK to act like one is a very attractive trait!
To: 2Jedismom
It stayed hot here till late last night.
It would behoove me too go on my walk soon, before it gets too hot.
To: HairOfTheDog; Overtaxed; Corin Stormhands
You know...I love Walmart...you know I do. So you think they'll help me out here?
I am thinking of taking this DVD player back. My mom got it for my birthday in March. Ok, well it was March before last...but I still have the box!
Think I could just box it back up and return it? Say it doesn't work anymore?

I wish my sister still had the box for hers. Sounds like there were a LOT of them that had problems.
But we don't have the receipt or anything. And even in your case...I'm thinking it's pretty hopeless, since it's over a year old.
It was cheap, but...it's a shame it lasted so short a time!
To: 2Jedismom
I don't think ~technically~ it would be under warranty.
If anyone could try you could....
Or you could just wack it till it grinds.
To: RosieCotton; Overtaxed; Bear_in_RoseBear
OT fixed hers, Rosie! I knew there was someone else that was having a problem...thought it was Bear's sister! LOL

Whacking 'til it grinds has working so far with Margaret's...but I'm thinkin' one day soon no amount of whacking will make it listen to reason. Sigh.
We bought it for her for her birthday, so I feel kind of responsible for it.
To: HairOfTheDog
Mine won't work anymore, so far no amount of whacking has brought it back.
It's dead, Jim.
