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.

I have created a link banner for those that wish to use it to link to Flat Frodo's page.

And to make it really easy, here is the code:

It was a landslide?

Worst GOP defeat since the Depression! It set up the GOP as a basically conservative party ever since (in most of the country)

Well, no great loss without some small gain, as they say! Someone has to lose, I suppose.

Oh not at all! There's a huge group in Ohio and smaller ones scattered all over- even NM IIRC. (someday I'll give my dissertation on the difference between PA Dutch quilting styles and Ohio...) Lancaster Co, PA is a stronghold but they feather outward in all directions- including south into MD. I'm about 30 min away from Lancaster Co- some awesome fabric shops up there- and about 15 minutes away from a buggy-crossing sign. ;) They're lovely people and I'll make sure Flat Frodo doesn't belittle them in anyway.

Thanks, and it's on my profile. A small tweak is in order and

< a href="http://lotr.ecurbh.com/journeys/" >< img src="http://lotr.ecurbh.com/graphics/journeys-banner.gif" width=380 height=60 BORDER=0 >< /a >

works just fine. Just be sure to remove the spaces between the < > signs..

Eeeewie. I make hubby do that, but then bake him a pie. This year is cheesecake. He retired from the Army this year and started a new job; suddenly we're "rich" in the IRS's eyes. And as such we bring home less than we did before we had three incomes (counting retirement). Makes my head swim and ****** me off.

I never fails. Whenever I get all my tax documents and stuff out, Miss Kitty has to stretch out all over them.

Hopefully, the IRS clerk who opens your return will be allergic to cats... oh, that's bad of me...

Could have used a little bit back here this year, but it is not to be (sigh)
