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.

You can even hear the traffic sounds and what sounds like jets flying over...

So I'll just decline it and no one will be worse for the experience!I freepmailed you on the day I did it. I should get a notice from PayPal, but I'll log on and check anyway. I'll be happy to put a check in the mail tomorrow. Maybe I can take the kids shopping tomorrow and get some stuff, then include the check in the box. I'll let you know either way.
To: All
Hi everyone!
Just popping in to say hello and then I'm off again to check the headlines and hit the hay.
Good night!
To: 2Jedismom
Yeah - they don't know what the heck is happening.... some anti-aircraft fire now.... no bombing yet.
You in the chat room?

Oh and if it does come through as a credit card...it won't let me accept it until I upgrade...and only after I upgrade and accept it, that's when it charges...it takes a percentage of what you send. My PayPal is set up to debit/deposit to my checking account, and not my credit card. That way, PayPal doesn't have to give a cut to the credit card company, and I also get a better rate for my commercial account. I guess I'm at as much risk as having my pay direct-deposited to that account by my employer.
Time-to-deposit to a bank account depends on how much "float" PayPal decides to take, and how fast your bank processes electronic transactions. I suspect the actual transfer is almost instantaneous, except for "float".

No, I am listening to the live feed from the MSNBC site...it has cars driving by and all kinds of sounds...can hear the wind blowing...
That siren was almost more than a white knuckler could stand and that bomb went off and I nearly flew out of my chair...

Iraq will witness the honorable and decent spirit of the American military.
I think that is what he said.
Wish us luck.
