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.

Do you think folks are beginning to suspect I'm projecting when I talk about Jr's troubles?

Nah, we're just figuring that the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree! ;o)

Thanks for sharing your daughter's e-mail with us! Most, if not all of us here, share her feelings! These CODE PINK chicks remind me of the 'feminists' during x42's time in office. They supported him, no matter how he used and abused women, because he supported their favorite cause. These idiots support Sadaam because they HATE George W. Bush; it is as simple as that. They disgust me!

So do you want us to send the boxes of stuff to YOU, or were you going to give us the address to send them directly to the soldiers?

Instant drink powders are probably not a good idea.

What about the kind sealed in pouches or sealed in cans? It would be obvious if they had been tampered with in any way.

I'll be starting a new job this Friday. It's another contract position, due to last 4-6 weeks, but it's a paycheck.

Good for you, Bear!!

What worries me is them possibly breaking open in the mail and causing an uproar...powder loose, you know? Yikes!

I'll send you a freepmail...tell you what others are doing.

I don't mind doing this for the Hole.

Some time I think it would be fun to have a bathroom that could 'carry' a Mexican tile sink.

SSQ and I went to Canada in 1985; he was giving a talk at a Statistics seminar. Some of the wives of the participants decided to go out shopping one day. We went looking for a particular Japanese potter, Kinya Ishikawa, who had a studio in the Laurentian mountains, close to where we were staying. It took a while, but we found his place and dropped in. He was so glad to have visitors that he proceeded to give us the grand tour of his workshop AND his house. The master bathroom had the most gorgeous sinks. His signature flower is an iris, and that's what he had painted and fired into the sinks! I wonder if he has a wesite now where he sells those things? I'll just have to go Googling to find out! I'd like to find someone who could do lilies!

His wife was just as talented. She made tiny ceramic flowers for use in jewelry. They were an interesting couple, and their hospitality was awesome!

I don't know if you saw it earlier, but I bought the AOE II Gold Edition. It came with the Conqueror's Expansion pack. After I have a chance to get used to it we'll have to arrange to have an online game.

"If you joined us for dwarf-moot you could see some of the actual battlefields... "

I've always wanted to visit some actual battlefields. I think I might have been to one when I was real little, but I barely remember it. I would love going and looking for shells.

Woo Hoo! They're talking on the radio about the Richmond Rally for America.

That Sunday (March 23rd) is the anniversary of Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death speech." So the actor that does it at St John's church will be at the rally and will give the speech! They're asking for all the veterans to show up. Glenn Beck will be there.

Sorry if you already posted this, but what address do you send these care packages to? I might put something together.

I guess she only has to eat 1/4 of the thing, then.

Glad you have a new job going.
