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.

Well, if one of you would make a trip to Mount Rushmore, I would be impressed to see him there!

Does the world's largest Walleye pose for photos?

At least I picked a good respectable number!

Hello all, good evening. I have to write a paper tonight so I can go out Saturday. So I'm trying to research Biblical feast and such, appropriate for a Hobbit Hole Dweller, I think!

Look at this!! Some goodies came UPS to my house to foward on to the chaplain and our guys! One of the Hole dwellers got them. Thank you!

I got a letter from the chaplain today. He got one of the five boxes I sent and apparently got the sunscreen too. He says:

Once again let me tell you (y'all) how much of a blessing you are. I received a package yesterday! I just opened it this morning. It is the package containing the Baptist Messengers, Cards, Envelopes, Pens, and Signs DVD. I meant to tell you that every Sunday afternoon at Freedom Chapel we show a movie and serve popcorn, etc

I was at the Power House[this is where he sets up the boxes for distribution] this morning. It is getting really hot here. The sunscreen is going quickly. I doubt it will make it through the next couple of days. I got kind of sunburned when I was out on mission on my face and neck. Not too bad though - now I've got a pretty good farmer's tan working!

As always, thank you most of all for your prayers. Please pray for the health and safety of our soldiers. Also pray for their families back home that God would enable them to do well during this separation. I will send more specific requests when they arise. Thank you -

"Renegade Chaplain"

Very good thing indeed that you are a short timer 'round there!

Let me know if you need any technical assistance!

I think they are really a good idea! Steve folds his big SJs in half to stick in his pocket, but these are already pocket sized!

The box they came in was too beat up to send them on, so I took them out, put on a card saying that they are compliments of you, and put them in a better box. They don't fit in the flag box.

We're getting 4K back from the government!

I sent a check for the shipping. I was going to write notes, but I'm ill qualified to recommend myself to strangers.

Maybe you should claim more exemptions on withholding?
