The New Hobbit Hole

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Check, and check. Fires and floods to be avoided too, I take it?

I forgot to give Matthew his medicine (bronchitis) and I had to wake him up to give it to him. He sat up and put his face like 2 inches from mine and just peered at me for a second before lying back down. LOL

Then, I'm sitting here reading and he came into the room...siddled into the room without a sound on my deaf side and I nearly jumped a foot when I saw him! I said "What do you need?" and he said he had to go to the bathroom. I said "Well, what are you going to do? Go in the filing cabinet?" He just cracked up.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes... and plagues... stay away from plagues!

[HairOfTheDog]

LOL! - Tea is not supposed to make you act this way, is it?

[Sam Cree]

Hi, HairOfTheDog,

I just got home from my fishing club meeting. A halloween party was announced, to be hosted by one of the members and his wife.

The invitation surprisingly said to "bring your own pints," (instead of booze, like usual) so I'm wondering if the hosts lurk on this thread.

Or is that the usual these days, to say "bring your own pints?"

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Right-o.

Thanks for your help in this matter!

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't think it is the usual! - I think you have a LoTR fan planning this party! - What are you dressing up as?

[HairOfTheDog]

Glad I could help! - I feel better now that I know you will be careful!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Glad I could put your mind at ease!

[HairOfTheDog]

I think Sam should go to the party as a hobbit, don't you?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Hi, Sam

I don't know if this was the intent, but by saying "pints" instead of specifying alcohol, the guests could take it to mean whatever non-alcoholic beverage they want to bring... (or even ice-cream!)

[HairOfTheDog]

Are you tall or short Sam?

[Sam Cree]

"What are you dressing up as?"

An elf? Just kidding, Overtaxed :-)

Once, when we were first married, my wife made a mermaid outfit and I dressed in fishing clothes. So she couldn't walk with her feet stuck in the tail, I carried her in as the fisherman and his catch.

But we were still pretty young then.

[Sam Cree]

I feel more like a hobbit than the other characters in LOTR, I'm a little too tall at 5'9, though.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think if you are tall, then you just need to make yourself fatter to look proportionate!

[Sam Cree]

Hi, Bear,

It's true that ice cream comes in pints, they probably don't mean ice cream though.

Are you guys under threat once again from tropical weather?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

How about a Ranger or Man of Gondor? Cloak, leather boots, sword, etc.

[Sam Cree]

A Norman Rockwell painting that I like

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

hehe, I guess they probably didn't mean ice cream. :)

Lilli could be headed this way, the weatherpeople still aren't sure. Expected to make landfall Thursday, wherever it lands.

you just need to make yourself fatter to look proportionate

The hobbits in the movie were pretty thin, though, except for Samwise.
