The New Hobbit Hole

[2Jedismom]

I never leave the Hole, anymore. I've never been to any other discussion thread, except for sending stuff to the troops last Christmas. I will occassionally peruse the Breaking News, but rarely post.

Meet me in the chat with your voice on.

"It was the strangest thing. He had gotten out of his bed and was on the floor. But his head was in the chair..."

I had mentioned to y'all that my Mama wasn't doing well just before Isidore hit the Gulf Coast. My sisters put her in the hospital because she had developed pnuemonia. The doctor said that she probably could go back home, but we, and her caregiver, Mary, realized that it would be too much for her to handle. We knew it was time to make other arrangements.

God is so GOOD! My oldest brother e-mailed me today that they were able to put my Mama in a nursing home just South of my hometown; near her siblings and this brother. He mentioned that Mary told him that on the day they were getting ready to go to the hospital, Mama told her that she had just talked to God . When Mary asked what he said, Mama told her "I said "Hi God", and He said "Hi Rita Brown"
Makes me wonder how soon she'll be seeing Him face to face. Sounds like she's ready.

I took care of a dying elderly woman...in her mid 90s. I walked into the room and found her lying in bed, smiling off to the side and I said "What a nice smile!" and she said "I'm smiling at my mother."

I cry to this day thinking of it. I'm crying right now.

I haven't left the Hole much since Darth Sidious and 2Trievers were banned, whom I seldom agreed with but were good people, and John Farson, our Hobbit Hole founder. I put in my dues for the 'thon, and even cheerleaded a bit the first day, but a lot of the fun of political debate and political ideology has left for me.

And I applauded most of the other bannings, when only the mean-spirited and crude were banned. Now it is risky to disagree, which threatens even me, if I continued to challenge some of the issues where I think our party is messed up.

I still love it here, and love the mission of conservatism, but not this way. Maybe it will improve in time... I hope so. We have nowhere else to go that is equal... and I have looked.

I too loved The Secret of Roan Inish

Thanks for reminding me about it. I must re-rent it sometime soon....

Also, Suzi, I listen to Michael Medved pretty regularly, too, and I really like his program....You too?

Premiere Mag Calls FOTR #1 Of 15 Years!

"You ain't seen nuthin' yet...buhbuhbuhbaby!"

[2Jedismom]

Sorry, sis! Gave up on ya! ;-D

Make me up a recording...

You know what is interesting about Medved- (I rarely caught his show because it was midday when I never listen to the radio) Is that though he is local to Seattle here, and I think still broadcasts from the KVI studio here, he is not being carried locally anymore. KVI put someone else locally in his time-slot.

Hows that for treatment? - I remember when he was only a local host before he syndicated nationally!

[HairOfTheDog]

In fact I remember when he was a restaurant and movie reviewer or something....

[Overtaxed]

No problem. I think the chat doesn't like Feadogs...or at least doesn't like me playing one. :) I rebooted and cold booted and it kept doing the same thing!

[2Jedismom]

How did that font come out that I sent that email to you?

I checked out the Eucharist one. I just don't have the time or energy.

Lets just say that I concur with 2JM's earlier statement: "Lets see....the black plague.....or the religious threads.....hmmmmmm"

I think I have to concur with that assessment 2J ;^)

[HairOfTheDog]

The "Finding Peace" one turned out to be about Daniele Vann Damm... and I understood why that got put there... folk got nasty and contentious during that trial. And still are, I gather.

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

Oh. Then I know I have no interest at all in that one either.... *shiver*

I think I'll be mainly hanging out here and just lurking and throwing in occasional pot-shots on a few other threads. But I did donate this time for the first time. I still think it's a good site that deserves support....

Hi, had dinner, checking in before I go off. I have a practice GRE tomorrow, and lots of homework, so we may not see much of me for the next few days. I'm just busy, that's all.

[rightwingreligiousfanatic]

See you later....Take care, Hair. I liked your painting, BTW. Reminded me of my youth. I loved rainy days. Still do for that matter....

Busy weekend, may not be able to check in until Monday.....

[HairOfTheDog]

Well! - Have a good weekend, busy people of the Hole!

I will just sit here at chat by myself if I have to! - It will be too rainy to do much else!

[HairOfTheDog]

What's this in the road?.....
