The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

[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.

Well, I was thinking that if Corin was digging and moving them in July it might be good to keep them cool during the transition.... like you said. (says the woman who did all this in Texas July and packed it all in black plastic under the glaring sun and moved - duh)

So, my daughter gets in the pickup after school today almost teary eyed from laughter. Seems just before leaving school she was in Theater Arts class and they turned on the TV to catch the noon news updates. A peace march was being featured. Those organizing the event were lesbians. A sign said "Lesbians Hate Bush."

can't comment.

Oh yeah...well if he's moving them in July....

[Wneighbor]

Yeah, but he was just saying right after Easter. That's just 3 weeks away. That would be okay.

They were looking for cash- probably for drugs. CREEPY! So much for the "nice" neighborhood.

Makes you glad you're moving to 'NASCAR county' doesn't it?

[SuziQ]

Yes, I've been getting ready...

Making your Confession in advance?

[SuziQ]

Dang, I wish I had thought of the image myself.

LOL!! That is just terrific!! Now we know why the Political Cartoonists get paid the big bucks!

[JenB]

Also because they can draw and some of us cannot!

[SuziQ]

Since I could get the part for $75 I figured I'd keep my computer for a while.

Well, that's even better!! Just as long as you can do your class stuff without even having to leave home!

I'll be up at school enough anyway to do whatever I need to up there, like take tests, but... I've always believed that you should never let a school keep you from learning. All you need is a book, or a person, who you can learn from, and then you do the rest.

I also think you should never stop learning. It doesn't really matter what you study.

[SuziQ]

I've always believed that you should never let a school keep you from learning.

Wasn't it Albert Einstein who said "Never let school get in the way of your education?."? What's fun about education after you get out of school is that you're learning something you WANT to learn, not something you HAVE to learn.

[Pippin]

I think I still have the address on my freepmail that you sent me. I'll check!

Thanks!

[JenB]

Well, some of us think learning for it's own sake is a good thing. Honestly. I can study almost - almost - anything, and find it fascinating. But computers are my One True Love.

[Corin Stormhands]

Go ahead an do it. (redneck rule of gardening number 8 I think.)

Well if it's the redneck rule, there must be beer involved...

[Corin Stormhands]

Making your Confession in advance?

Well, I figger the next picture posted might be of me kneeling before the porcelin god...

Driving the bus.

[Sam Cree]

I thought maybe it was Mark Twain who said that.

Come to think of it, him and Einstein kind of look alike.

[SuziQ]

I thought maybe it was Mark Twain who said that.

Oops!! May have been, but you're right, they DO look alike!
