The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

[HairOfTheDog]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Give her a pat for me.

Is she running out of dog treats?

[RosieCotton]

Just two...Bill and Margaret. Bill's about a year and a half younger than you, I think - he'll be almost twenty. And Margaret is 17.

My pawnshop has Susatos in it.

I think g'nad oughta post the one of him in uniform...the one that makes some of the females on this thread slightly light-headed!

[2Jedismom]

You are kidding! A pawnshop?

[Overtaxed]

Yeah. The one in my story.

[2Jedismom]

PE: thanks for the ping, the motor city madman strikes again. Still surprising to hear that dove is not a legal game bird in some states. We have a red tail hawk in our neighborhood and has nailed a couple of doves at our bird feeder. We have about a dozen or so that hang out in our backyard.

Michigan Bambi-huggers have adopted the mourning dove. Basically, they're trying to save hunters from the blood lust that comes from killing such gentle, peaceful creatures. I guess they don't eat squab, either, which is what doves are.

Mourning doves are as common as dirt in Michigan. Nobody will be hunting doves at my feeder, although I'd love to kill the pigeons if I could get away with it. But dove hunting is challenging, and I have no problems with thinning the herd a bit. I feed enough of them all year long anyway.

Basically, starting a new form of hunting in Michigan just makes it harder for liberals to cut back on other forms of hunting. Deer season starts soon, and there will be plenty of anti-hunting articles about how seeing dead deer on a car traumatizes children, and glorifies guns.

And, of course, the same liberals that tell us we need to look at how Europe does things never bother to look at the state next door. Mourning doves have not been extincted in any other state, but they always treat their situation as unique in human history, especially when the exact opposite is working everywhere else.

I was in a pawnshop on Saturday. I thought of you!

[2Jedismom]

Oooohhh...

That'll learn ya to stand downwind...

OK...Here's a little poem for you...

Mary had a little lime
and a lot of gin
And every where that Mary went
She didn't know she'd been!

[Overtaxed]

Eeek! You didn't fall in with shady characters, did you? Or get shocked by an evil Toaster?

[2Jedismom]

ROFLOL!!!

[RosieCotton]

Goin' to bed now. See you folks tomorrow!

Tomorrow I MAY get the van. Sigh. Wish I knew how all this is gonna work. My brother's loan was approved, BUT he still has paperwork to sign for it, and they wouldn't let him do it today. He has an appointment for 3:30 tomorrow afternoon, and I don't know if that means the money will be in his account then or what. And then I have to deposit his check in MY account before paying.

So...depending on how the loan works (I'm not sure, and I'm getting frustrated with him because he won't ask any of these questions), the money may be in his account tomorrow, and since we have the same bank, it should be a quick transition to mine. If it doesn't go through 'til Friday, I'll have to wait until then, or Saturday morning, I suppose.

I'll be glad when this is all over.

[Overtaxed]

Sounds like some good stuff. Think I'll make some hot chocolate with Bailey's.

[2Jedismom]

Good night Rosie! Good luck with the van situation.

[Corin Stormhands]

G'nite Rosie. G'nite folks.

I'm still fighting this cold. Gonna go take some drugs and go to bed.

[Wneighbor]

Well, the shady character remains to be seen. I was with a guy. But, I didn't see any toasters. I did look at a 9 mm Glock though.
