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 am slightly stunned at the rudeness on that thread.

Morning all!

Have super busy day- my big briefing in the morning and a pre-construction meeting on the house this afternoon! We visited the property over the weekend and saw they had the corners of the house staked out- yaaaaay!

Good morning! It's 18 degrees out there. I agree with Corin this time around - that's just WRONG!

Thanks for checking in, g'nad! Take care...see you soon.

lil'freeper...what's the location like where you're building your house? Is it right near where you live now?

Well, yes, it could be your firewall, actually.

So, should I be able to configure something there to let me into Yahoo? I'll try again tonite and see what happens.

Oh, and HELLO! Good Morning!

Morning Corin. I was having trouble staying in yahoo last night too. Other people have mentioned that before but I had not had that trouble in the past. Frustrating as all get-out!

Morning All!

It's a beautiful spring day in Richmond, everything is sort of a dusty yellow color (sniff, sniff, achoo...)

Mrs. g'nad told me she'd have four weeks once they got to Missouri, so I'd put that around the middle of May.

Speaking of babies, did we ever get our act together and do something for your daughter?

Temp is 67.

Supposed to turn cold and get down into the 50s here again tonite.

Also supposed to rain. Maybe it will rain enough to get the pollen and bird poop off my car.

We have a robin who has fallen in love with the passenger side mirror on my car. I tried to tell it that it was a hopeless flirtation. In return, every morning I get presents on the driver's side and passenger side doors...

Good Morning!

They're saying overcast and maybe drizzly tomorrow. Good enough for dragging branches to the street at least!

Good morning! I missed g'nad! Oh well, maybe I'll actually get to meet him and his lovely family some time this summer!

Well, today's the big day. I have less than 4 hours till the crew gets here.

I'm incredibly nervous! LOL

The dog had heartworms. Got the email this morning from the lady. They are going to treat it.

I'm torn between being mad and feeling sick.
