The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

[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, there's some good folks over there, but most of them are just jackasses...pardon me. If you hang out with that kind of person, you shouldn't be surprised when they do something that disgusts you.

No thanks, I don't need it. I'll just visit with you guys in the Hole and only go there for specific whistle reasons.

How close are you all to each other?

I'm 'bout an hour south of g'nad and 'bout two hours north of OT.

[Lil'freeper]

I wish. Am under duress behind enemy lines in the Peoples Republic of Maryland.

Good Morning, HOTD!

I voted in two of the award contests but I could'nt vote on the Orange Review one as I didn't know what my mobile number was and I didn't know what they meant by mobile number.

Less experienced with cats than with dogs, but I don't think they will spay her while she is in heat. They may give you some kitty downers though!

I just signed up for PhoenixMud

Great! I actually have three characters: Veren (an ELF!!!), Aeryn, and Sonora. Veren is my main char, Sonora is my fighter. Once upon a time you could have three chars on at once- was always fun having a fighter, a healer, and a mage going at once. Now you can only do two at a time. :( Oh well. There have been a lot of changes like that. The MUD community used to be a lot of college age folks, but the age is migrating downward and you have a bunch of whiny teens on these days. *sigh*.

If you see Dakota say "Hi" from Veren for me. There's another Imm, or at least used to be, named Iluvatar no less. A somewhat moody prankster, but a good guy regardless.

I had the same situation and they *can* spay her, but it requires more fluids and a longer hospital stay. In other words, they charge you more.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, it's English.... I doubt for the Orange award they will really accept votes that are outside the UK...

Hullo!

I am dead tired today since it appears that Alyson is starting to cut her two top teeth now. Poor thing - she was up almost every hour on the hour wailing away. :(

I've got the coffee ready and have whipped up a quick breakfast for the Hole Dwellers. Ham, cheese and bacon omelets; fried eggs and bacon; sausage patties and hash browns. The juices are chilled in the cooler and the muffins (blueberry, banana nut or lemon) are in the covered basket on the table. ENJOY!

I've got to stay awake and sharp this morning since my boss comes back today from vacation and there is a HUGE pile of backlogged work waiting for him. That means it has to come back through me, so I'd better get started!

[Pippin]

Don't worry, You're not alone in the Peoples Republic of Maryland, I live just south of Baltimore city.

[HairOfTheDog]

Yeah - I think it is better to wait until she goes out of heat.

[Pippin]

Oh, well I got in two of them at least, so Peter Jackson and TTT have a fighting chance!

[Corin Stormhands]

FReeped, but the Orange site wouldn't accept my vote because of the mobil number.

[2Jedismom]

Have a good day! We'll be here when you get a chance to poke your head in!

[Pippin]

Good Morning, RMD!

Thanks for breakfast! :^)

[HairOfTheDog]

Have a big cup of Seattle coffee!

[Corin Stormhands]

Hey! the Moviefone poll is trying to split the LoTR vote by nominating two ringers for a couple categories: Bloom & McKellan in Best Supporting Actor...

I voted for McKellan (you didn't s'pect me to vote for an elf did ya?), but I bet that one goes to Richard Harris with the sentimental vote.

[Corin Stormhands]

Nice snaig.

[Lil'freeper]

Whereabouts? Not that I'm all that familiar with points south. I used to commute down to Towson from Harford Co. everyday but never bothered to learn much of the city geography. Been here five years, but I don't consider myself a resident of this socialist hell. My heart and soul is still in Arizona and the desert southwest. *sigh*

[Pippin]

I voted for McKellan too!
