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're bad!

Hi all! Long day here, but it's Friday now! I am shocked and awed by the war :)

Gotta catch up on life, be hanging around tonight...

Well, hi! Welcome to the Hobbit Hole! Afraid I'm fresh out of pints, but someone will be along to offer you some soon, I'm sure.

Babylon 5 fan?

It is Friday! - What is behind in your life? - I got the house clean! - That is a good thing!

Tommorrow I am going to another dog show with my friend. Means I have to miss our local rally, but she is alone this time and doesn't have any help. Last time she had the help of some pros that are helping her to get her dog groomed and ready and to give her pointers. They aren't at this show.

Oh, I meant I had to catch up on the war and such, since I was at work all day. I do have some homework, but that can wait.

Huge fan. B5 to me is LOTR in the future. Been said that JMS took inspiration from LOTR.

Been lurking for awhile, but just registered yesterday and thought this would be the best place to post first :)

It certainly can wait.

I have to go clean stalls so the ponies can come in. It is pouring out.

It's rainy here, too, but not hard.

Looks like the war is going well.

Ooops. 'Scuse me. I didn't realize we had a guest.

Although perhaps it's best you know now so there are no surprises...

Most excellent! Huge fan of B5 here too!

The Hobbit Hole was the place that lured me into posting on FR as well... it's nice and friendly that way! :)

Again, welcome! I may be out of pints, but maybe I can find some honey cakes around here somewhere....

Corin, Hi there...got your FReepmail...I have answered.

I am on 'borrowed' time, as we have come up to the Tx hill country for a visit, and I am using my father's 'puter, and I don't wish to tie up his line for too long.

TOTALLY missed the start of shock and awe because we were out driving and enjoying the beautiful day and all the blue bonnets. WHAT A PRESIDENT, WHAT A COUNTRY, WHAT A WAR!!

Thought the fact that some snot nosed journalist wanted to know why bush wasnt watching the action ordered was one of the most asinine questions I had heard in a long time....it really bothers these snots that President Bush is NOT out there taking credit for all that is going on, and knows that the stage is no longer his, and that the classiest thing to do is sit back and let the experts handle the show. I think all journalists who are invited to question the President should go through a gauntlet before they begin : line em up and have someone slap them...just as ceremony...just to remind them they aren't as big as think they are.

Anyway, corin, I will try to help where I can. good luck!

Hair, when you have a minute or two; a friend of mine would like to get some people at her college together to send care stuff to army people. Do you know how she can find a unit, or must I ask 2J? Also what are the guidelines for stuff?

I got your response. Thanks.

Rush said today what irks the mediots most is that Bush knows what people think of him, and he doesn't care.
