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.

Well, now I am dying to figure out who your enemy is. Can you walk in a little tighter circle around him so I can figure this out?

Hi Hair.

My wife's older cousin is visiting at the moment (you tend to get visitors in Miami this time of year).

He was telling us what he says when customers ask his company when their order will be ready. He says "OGK."

Which means "Only God Knows." Cute, eh?

P.S. If you don't get any responses to your responses to my freepmail for a few hours, it's just that I'm heading back into the lion's den this morning, and early PM, for a little more action and some personal/private work at guaranteeing my own protection/recourse.

LOL! - I bet you do get company this time of year!

When my Grandma was the matiarch of our beach house here, she used to kid people about it on nice days when folk would "drop by".... she'd say "Oh - Maggie! - Hi!" And turn to me and say "Maggie is one of my fair weather friends!" Sweetly and without an ounce of resentment.

:-O You were still up? I thought about checking chat, but figured everyone would be in bed! I didn't stay up much longer after I posted that though. I was pretty tired.

Greensboro is rather far to go (1 hour) but I'll look into the one in Raleigh. The only Irish Pub in Raleigh that I've been to is Tir Na Nog. They have live bands but I don't know if they have open sessions. There's a place in Wendell that has open Bluegrass sessions, but I don't think a whistle would fit in too well.

Aw, 2J, 'tweren't nothing! *blushing* I've just seen it happen so many times and seen folks handle it so many ways that I just feel very strongly about getting a replacement pet ASAP, especially when the attachment to the former pet was so very strong.

I'd like to add that this comment is 100% on the money!

In a world where there aren't too many, it seems this Hole has an unusually high number of decent people.

Lucky you!

Glen was out with Becky all day and he just left once more to go to a friend's house. Becky went with him since she likes to play with the other girls over there.

That leaves me and Alyson, who's been asleep since 2:45PM or so. I don't expect I have much longer until she wakes up. :(

I know! You just love them so much, but it's just so nice when they are asleep.

Joshua is phasing out of the nap thing...although it would do him a world of good if he took one now and then. He's very emotional and it gets out of control when he's tired.
