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 study is just to see how long the fungicide and its metabolites stay in the ground and how far they move.

But obviously not to test for any buildup in the livestock population over the years huh? Because we don't want to mess up the dwarves (and elves) massive bacon requirements. (like any of us would quit eating it anyway)

Nope! Not this fungicide although I did do that sort of study on another fungicide that they want approved for use on livestock feed.

I've never had a Christmas cactus that bloomed at Christmas. They always bloomed in early Spring, just before Easter. Your plant is lovely!

Well, I probably am brain-dead and just not normal but I've never worried about what all's in my steak in the way of fungicide/pesticide buildup or whatever. I just concern myself with things like taste, tenderness, cooked well? Garbage like that. I do know though that the meat I used to buy from the rancher living behind me back home sure tasted a WHOLE lot better then the stuff I buy in the store here.

I never had anything that was supposed to bloom seasonally bloom at that season. I don't know. I just don't work for me. OT gets the prize.

But, I still like think that bloom is gorgeous.

Thanks! I'm thrilled I finally got up and bought it. I've put this off for far too long.

Thanks for your efforts. I love watching an expert shop!

Is your next project a "goodies" shipment? I think there are lots of candidates for poagie bait that we could send.

The stuff we tested went away fairly quickly.

I never could get the stupid cactus to bloom right until I started leaving it out all summer. It either would not bud, or the buds would drop off before opening.

I just saw that TTT is playing beginning last night, through next Thurs. at a local "eat while you watch the movie" place. I'm thinking about taking Clare and Joseph this Sat. night. cause Sir SuziQ won't be home from CA until after midnight.
