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'm sure this is posted somewhere on FR, but I'm too lazy to try to look for it. Does anyone know offhand of a site where you can get addresses to write letters to soldiers? Thanks!

Yes, that is the edition I have then! Let's play sometime! - I can set up as a server, or we can just try to find a game.

Cool! Oh darn it. I never did figure out my computer problem yet. I will try to deal with it tonight. I don't know if my computer would play properly the way my computer is acting right now x-(

I'll let you know when I'm up and running like normal. I would love to play UT with ya!

That's right, you said you were in the Air Force.......did you ever consider joining the military? ;^)

Never.

I wanted showers, clean sheets and eat real food. They do shoot at people in combat aircraft, however, so there was some downside. Great view though.

Oh NO Ruthie! I just got out of morning class. Am so sorry to hear this. But, again, we are praying.

Not only is it like Corin said, - A place where we can say anything and it'll be okay. But, we're also a place we know where we can go pretty much anytime day or night to gather these prayers.

That's a good thing.

Good grief! This is the opposite of yesterday. The hole was dead most of the day. Now after 3 hours of class I'm over 100 posts behind!

Have some seedcakes and a pint, and let us know if you need anything!

I can see already that only the early risers get breakfast around here. Hasn't anyone heard of second breadfast?

Gotta go. Sometimes I have to work, even when I'm hungry.

Did you fly?

I am a pilot... not military, but went to commercial pilot school and have a CFI and Multi-Engine commercial ticket.

I am not flying at all these days, unfortunately, my job search took me into Mirkwood and I got lost, but I remember it fondly, and hope to take it up again sometime and get current. It is a hobby not everyone can do.

I think they probably shift the times for the West Coast anyway. I'm pretty sure it's on at the same time for Eastern & Central (8 & 7).

I wish they'd catch OBL. I can't stand this rollercoaster ride. Do you think they are close?

Go on 2J, confess, tell us the real reason you want him caught?

she can't stand to wait any longer for her pumpkin pie - that's the reason.

Hope he likes it, I am going to tell my nephew to go see it, if he hasn't already, it will be right up his alley. Plus, it would give his Australian wife a look into American history, especially Virginia history, since that is where they live. I could easily watch it again.

I was wondering if what they labelled the Rapahanack River might really have been the James, I was noticing the remnants of an old canal alongside, similar to the old canal alongside the James. Not certain if the Rapahanack ever had one.
Beautiful river, though.

Maybe she needs to make a practice pie. Just to test the recipe.

Ah, the joys of office politics. Ms. Switchboard is going down!

I like this game. Need any help?

We eat all the time around here. Very hobbit-like in that regard. Ruthy will be by shortly with lunch.
