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.

It's my cousin Max. 22 years old and has been diagnosed with cancer. Hodgkins Lymphoma according to the biopsy results we received yesterday.

He'll be the hospital for 3 weeks. I have no idea what type or stage it's at, but it's pretty darned bad. He can barely swallow anymore because his throat is swollen due to the tumor.

I'll share more as I hear it, but it's bleak and depressing to see how quickly it grew. :(

Thanks for making me laugh, Corin! I am trying to keep my mind off of Max this morning.

Why does life have to be so cruel and hard? *sigh*

RE pic of Legolas w/ "Lembas"

Oh what does Peter Jackson know? He's ruined the stories, ruined I say!, after pulling that stunt of making Merry's hair a lighter shade of blonde than Tolkien CLEARLY intended!

Life seems to be kicking you around right now Ruthy, I'm sorry to hear abour your cousin...22 is way too young for this.

Have faith (it's what you can do now) and believe that things will be better, and that everything will happen in accordance to His plan.

Prayers on their way to He who heals all.

I am sorry Ruthy.... Let us know how he is doing as they decided what kind of treatments they can try. Prayers going up that there is something that can be done for him!

Merry's hair!? Why...who could notice that when the size of Gandalf's nose was so very wrong! Not to mention, everyone knows that Frodo had more hair on his feet that *that*!!

PJ is an infidel!

*wink*

Sorry to hear of the cousin's illness. I always see the half full glass though, so consider how this news would have come to you while the niece was still missing. ugh, bad as it is it could have been worse.

Very true! I am an optimist by nature, so I am relying on my Christian faith to assure me that God is in control and that all will be as His Will dictates.

I am content in whatever state I find myself in.

This is just another feeble attempt by demons to bring my family down. Well, they are, but down on our knees in prayer! Take that, you miserable Orcs!!!!

Least he didn't cast Julia Roberts as Arwen.

Sean Connery as Gandalf

Ed Harris as Elrond

Leonardo DiCaprio as Legolas

Tobey Maquire as Frodo

Yoda as Gollum

Russell Crowe as Aragorn
