Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Where Many Paths and Errands Meet...

• 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!)
• Fourth Thread: The Hobbit Hole IV - The Road Goes Ever On...

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.

Hi Sonya! Ramius keeps disappearing tonight. He may have fallen asleep on us already.

I am glad that marriage is great for you two! You know many of us here kinda lived through your wedding looking in from the outside. We are very happy for you two and glad to hear that you are happy too!! :-)

Hope you enjoyed the movie tonight! Tickles me pink that Hair and Ecurbh will be getting married now. And I'm glad I'll get to meet you finally! I kinda feel like I'm acquainted with you already just from the things Hair tells us! Be blessed, Kimberly

We are watching the end now..... This whole movie so Sonya can see Rosie's hair at the wedding. That is all Sonya cares about!

[HairOfTheDog]

Not ALL I care about......Sonya

[Wneighbor]

Now I think it would be a bug on the wall and listen to ya'll while you watch the movie! LOL

Sonya, you are gonna have to look quick or pause the movie so you can see the hairstyle well cause she's not on there very long.

Is that how Hair is going to do her hair for the wedding? :-)

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes Hair will have her hair like Rosie, all it takes is a perm and hairspray.....and a lot of flowers!!!!!! She will have anythihg her her heart desires for it will be her day.

Say, the hobbit-hole.net server is down.

Yeah, it does that more than I would like. It usually isn't down very long, though. Guess it kind of goes with the territory when you use a cheap hosting service.

[Wneighbor]

Oh wow! That will be incredible! What better way for a hobbit to have her hair for her wedding! Stupendous!!!

[Wneighbor]

Well kiddos, I am goin' to bed now. It is VEY late in Texas and I have stuff to do tomorrow before noon!

Okay ... funny-weird story.

When I lived at home, we had 5 large dogs and an 8-foot hurricane (chain-link, for you non-Texans) fence around the back yard to dissuade said dogs from jumping the fence. At night, my car would be parked just inside the chained-and-padlocked gate, and my sweet Noodle-baby, some 85 pounds of white German Shepard-Lab mix, would spend the night on the roof of my car. People didn't walk on our side of the street at night, because Noodles took offense.

So, it's New Year's Day, about three in the morning. I'm up, reading, and the dogs start barking frantically; I think they're upset by the still-popping firecrackers. Suddenly, I hear something beating on the back door. At first, I think it's a dog's tail, but then the beating moves around the house, at a height the dogs could not achieve. I look out the bathroom window, and think I see someone. I wake up my parents and call 911.

When the police come, we find that there's a naked, bleeding man laying on the ground between my car and the gate, with my oddly subdued dogs standing around him. Turns out, it was the brother of the owner of the house behind ours. The owner of the house had come home early from New Year's revels and found his wife and his brother doing the horizontal mambo. Owner of the house shot his brother in the buttocks; bleeding brother crawled over the 8-foot fence and worked his way around to the gate, where he collapsed from blood loss and chill (it was ~25 degrees).

The police and ambulance sirens drew out our neighbors, who saw our dogs standing around this man, and assumed they'd attacked him. However, the police told us later that he didn't have one dog bite on his body. But, boy, people left our dogs alone after that!

Thank you so much for your service. It's your doing the job --- in both your military and civilian lives --- that keeps this country safe.

Take good care.

Oh, the fajitas were yummy! I had a kickin' fajita salad with ranch dip instead of salad dressing ... bought the wrong thing at the store! Still, it was dee-lish! AND, we only used a third of the meat; froze the rest, and will have it later in some manner.

Have you ever used a George Foreman grill? I would think it would be so much quicker, since it cooks from the top and the bottom. I want to buy one ... but I think I want the big one ... has anyone used one? Does it work as advertised?

[Rose in RoseBear]

<laughing> Thank you for the compliment, Master Sea-man!

California? To visit, maybe ... but where could you live? Oakland?

It would be cooler in the summertime, for sure!

[Rose in RoseBear]

Now, Phoenix sounds nice!

I could do Chicago ... but, oh, the Hawk! The almighty Hawk! Mr. Wind!

I was reffering to a letter to the post office in case WM has to file an insurance claim. It would take me two to three weeks to get a letter to him, where as you could do it in a few days. You could even get Crystal to type it, and scribble my name on it.
