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 made it a point to control my temper and take it easier than usual.

Glad you're feeling better Ruthy. I'm no Dr. and I don't play one on FR, but I think it does really sound like stress.

Note to self: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT pi$$ off Ruthy...

Okay...I'll can the pity. :)

Sounds like you need your own study or someplace away from the ...um....stress sources.

Perhaps you need a nice, soft, purring cat to pet.

It looks like the Hobbit Hole is filled with stressed out folks. *grin*

And you have not yet ever ticked me off, Corin. With the exception of when you took your hiatus and left me Dwarfless in here. :(

I do feel much better, OT. It is DEFINITELY too early for Car Bombs, but not for mimosas [sip!]. Want one?

That's because you're more dwarf-tolerant than some of them elf-lovers...

Mmmmmm.....Mimosas.....

Maybe you should grow some lavender....the scent is supposed to relax ya.

Or take up gardening...no one wants to get drafted into doing yard work so it's just you and the plants (who never talk back.)

More Pictures from Afghanistan

Here are some more pictures from the chaplain! Here he is, according to the email, leading a group in prayer for the nation. G'nad, what is that tube that is running down the length of the tent at the top? Is that air conditioning?

And here he is, with another chaplain. This other chaplain did an article in the last Desert Devil Dispatch I sent out. Our Renegade Chaplain is on the right.

And here he is with his assistant. I don't know if this is the same young lady in the care package pictures...I think it is.

Needless to say, it's more than likely stress related and so I have made it a point to control my temper and take it easier than usual.

I hate it when I have to do that!

And I just popped off a cap on my tooth while having milk and brownies. Now to call my dentist, who is making up his own deck of cards, and I'm the jack of hearts.

She's right on all those counts Ruthie. Lavender is very soothing and gardening gets you away from lots of stresses.

don't listen to all those people that talk about bugs, drought and stuff. plant some herbs, they're really weeds and just take off on their own.
