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.

I found more daylilies coming up! My rhubarb and bleeding hearts are up too.

My rhubarb and bleeding hearts are up too. Liberal.
To: JenB
LOL! If I have a bonfire, I'd probably take the whole neighborhood with me.
To: Corin Stormhands
Well....they grow in the shade and so far the deer haven't been eating them.
To: Overtaxed
So just invite the whole neighborhood over and have a party?

I don't think there'd be any happy people at that party.
To: Corin Stormhands
Hey Corin, I've had an Invisible Fence here for over 10 years, so I could make plenty of comments on it, if you want me to. I haven't read the back posts yet, though, have been hanging out in Key Largo last 24 hrs, instead of helping ksen.
To: Corin Stormhands
Oh! regarding plants, our mangos ought to be starting soon, the key limes finished 'til next year. Bananas some time soon, no later. Guavas, I think, but it's a struggle to get those before the squirrels.

To: Sam Cree
mmmm...Key Largo....sigh...
My biggest concern Sam is whether or not he'll try to bolt once he's trained. I'm told he won't.
I would actually prefer to just fence in the backyard and leave it at that, but we're concerned that if my m-i-l is here alone, he might run out the front door. I can stop him from that, but she couldn't.
He doesn't try that much anymore (since the one time I carried him back from the bus stop), but you never know. He's pretty good though once he's learned something (except for staying off the couch).
To: Corin Stormhands
Corin, it really depends on the dog. We have a golden retriever and it took ages to get him trained. He'd just run through... we upped the power to almost-rottweiler setting and he finally got the point.
Now, we can even let him out without the collar and he doesn't scamper.

Welcome to the hobbit hole Kitsune-chan! LOL!! That was ME telling 2J about the Kool Aid ice cubes! My daughter had signed in and hadn't logged off, so the response came up under her screen name. I told you her screen name was Japanese, but didn't know what it was. So now y'all know!
To: Corin Stormhands
It worked on my lab very well, she was completely convinced by the system, but IMO, "Invisible Fence" has very low standards for their franchisees.
My stray hound goes through it whenever she pleases, but I know better than to try to get the company to help with that, they just won't feel like it, and also, my experience tells me that it's probably beyond their ability.
Maybe "Dogwatch" could be better?

Any Hobbit Hole denizons that are also fantasy baseball fans? If so, you can join an all Freeper private fantasy baseball league (on Yahoo Fantasy Baseball) by going to thread at the link below and following the instructions. It's for Freepers only and there are many spots still available for players. It's all free and just for good fun during the baseball season. Just go to this link and scroll down to the post with the instructions:

I burned my finger again! A different finger, and it hurts like blazes, so it must not be as deep...but the same thing...my hot pad I was holding the pizza dish with slipped and I bonked my finger on the grill in the oven! YOWCH!
Last time, it hurt for just a split second but then stopped and shrivelled all up. This time it's just white, with a red border. Hurts much worse, but I don't think it's as deep.
Twice now, I've burned myself when my hot pad slips...

We have a Dogwatch dealer here. I'll check them out as well.
