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.

It's OK if you don't think it is the right thing to do... But I think there are only fees if you do credit card transactions... 2J? help?

Rose wants to get some mini-horses.

I have a friend here in town who raises mini-horses. Here in this little suburban town, they have 125 acres and raise pheasant to sell to the Boston gourmet food market, mini-horses for the fun of it, ducks to sell to hunting clubs and rainbow trout to stock their own fishing pond. An industrious family, to say the least!

Don't ask me why I love this picture. I just do!

The Eagles (follow the link back up)

They're here in Richmond tomorrow night. Tried to win tickets. Just wasn't gonna pay $70 to hear them.

I do have a couple of their albums...on vinyl...

Has my check arrived yet? It's pretty. It's green.

We love thunderstorms.

At my family's fish camp we love to sit at the top of the hill overlooking the Singing River (Pascagoula River) and watch the storms come in. They come in off the Gulf of Mexico from the South-East heading to the North-West! The sky gets really dark, the wind picks up, and once the raindrops start falling, you know you have about 30 seconds to make it to the house before you're deluged!!

Unlike Muppet Treasure Island, which I pretty much have memorized.

My favorite is the "Muppets in Space" movie!

I haven't had to pay any fee except when dealing with credit card transactions...and I bet I've dealt with $1000 going through there in just the last couple of months...

But you could ask...or find the fine print...

Isn't this a pretty thing? It's a "Chicken Tractor" and you can move it around from one place to another. The chickens learn that it's their Home and go back to it each night!

It's not that easy being green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold-
or something much more colorful like that.

It's not easy being green.
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things.
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles
in the water- or stars in the sky.

But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean,
or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree.

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be

I don't know. We're having phone troubles here in Melbourne. We can't call out to certain exchanges and my home phone is one of the exchanges. ;^(

I'll get on tonight and update who I have received money from. So far I've received money from Ruthy and SuziQ.

[carton253]

It will either come today or tomorrow.

[carton253]

But's it green... a nice pastel shade.

I have duplicating checks... but that's more for my purpose than your's.

[carton253]

I use a debit card, but I forget to write it down.

[carton253]

So the duplicating checks help me remember.

[carton253]

I find it easier to keep track of my check book that way.

[carton253]

Not that I balance it or anything.

[carton253]

Close enough works for me.

[carton253]

I forget that I have $100 just sitting in there.

[carton253]

For mistakes.
