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

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by 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.

Arrgghh. I have just about had it with my web host. I am trying to update my records, since I forgot to change my email address with them when I moved. I called their support line, waited on hold for 10 minutes, then my call was dropped. ("Thank you for calling. Have a nice day! [click]) And my emails to them keep getting bounced. And I am not recieving any emails to my server - I had a friend send me one a couple hours ago to test it. So now I am sitting here in a web-chat window waiting for them to get to me. 45 minutes so far. I guess I know why their service is so cheap.

OK, the rant is over. You may now go about your business.

I'm going to be going skiing for the first time this afternoon. Hope I don't break anything.

Holy cow!

I really need to get some caffeine and wake up. I could have sworn I just read the same thing five times!

LOL Too funny!

Actually, after I found out g'nad wasn't going to come clean with any big news (after I've been waiting all these DAYS)...I figured I might as well tackle that pile of dishes. I got them done!! Steve is going to be so tickled.

I think it's the iron. No kidding, since they put me back on that iron, I feel like a new person. Lots of energy.

I think it's the iron.

I know you mean the mineral. But a couple of years ago, we couldn't find the iron. I think it moved when my sister-in-law moved out. So we went to get a new one. Mom had to explain to Jr. what it was! So she said, "and this one is for you." He's never used it, but he still thinks the iron belongs to him.
