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.

My wife gets IBD, I regard it as a good paper, though I am not so much one for technical analysis.

Hi, Overtaxed.

Too bad about Andy Serkis, but what can you say?

Obviously Gollum won out over more than just Smeagol....

Is that Arthurian, Rosie?

No...it follows several generations of an immigrant family. Not really a happy movie, but has some great lines...and they do a good job of portraying a big family hanging out together, which I can identify with. ;-)

You know...I don't think they ever say. Russia, maybe? There's a synopsis here.

Hi ya'll. I'm back from spring break. It was pretty hectic but I really really missed you all. Just like so many of you have said over the last months, it seems like I'm away from my very best friends now when I can't check in.

My grama was pretty seriously ill for the week last week and Myranda and I spent most of our time sitting with her. I thought about ya'll. It was like best friends being missing. I knew that if I could just get a-hold of ya'll I'd get a cyber-hug (and i'm not usually a huggy gal) but alas, no computer available.

So, ya'll were missed. And I'm glad to be back. But, Grama is still needing lots of prayer if a couple of you don't mind sending up some.

Thanks OT. Trying to catch up on today's posts at least. Don't know WHEN I'll have time to see what everyone else did last week.

Now that I've had to spend over a week away from here, I am looking more forward than ever to entmoot.

Hair has a new kitten!

Officially, the kitten has refugee status! I have placed a found sign at the store next-door, and a found ad in the newspaper.

Okay, OT got your answer. But, can I add a little smidgeon? If you just planted the daffodils this year wait till next year or the year after to divide them. They will come back fuller and thicker. Then when you divide them you'll get more out of your divisions. Can you be that patient?

PS. I'm with you on the cat grave. Those can just keep multiplying like rats in a tenement.

I need all the help I can get! I was asking because I'd just as soon not divide them if I don't have to.

Oh I don't know, if there were a *good* owner nearby who has lost her, I wouldn't want cryin' kids on my conscious if I withheld her.

And if a friend came forward who could offer her a good home where she was less likely to get run over than here, I would give her away. I have so many other animal expenses coming that I just fear taking on a new one now with the shots/spay setup costs involved!
