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.

Does that mean the next time I don't like a subject... I can order a halt to it...

Of course not!

It's not about censorship as it is about courtesy.

If a friend tells me she doesn't like to talk about roses, I will not bring up that subject around her simply out of love and respect.

Now, as far as spam goes...we all spam, we love to spam, it's a tradition to spam for the Precious, but it shouldn't become ridiculous or abusive so as to avoid it becoming an issue at all.

Looks like Frodo had a great adventure in the nation's Capitol! Neat pictures! You should have gotten one with Frodo and the girls!

Big'ol had control of the camera- I was trying to keep FFrodo from falling over into a puddle. Next time perhaps. Still have a few stops on the list...

today is very windy and not at all good for cardboard standees.

Of course not. But c'mon Smeags, spamming for the "precious" is just a game. We've done it off and on for thousands of posts now. And up until today, I thought the protests were good natured "now y'all cut that out" kinda posts. Kinda like people would roll their eyes, whack us with a stick and move on.

But we're a community here. A family. Out of respect for my family here, I will choose not to spam.

That's it. Nothing more.

I'm off to the Middle East threads...

When you get there, would you mind pinging me? Somehow I fell off of DennisW's ping list.

Thanks.

Okay... first of all, I'm just teasing...

I know full well that spamming is a game.

Never mind...

Won't happen again...

:-( We don't have a Verizon deal here. We can choose from AT&T, Sprint or USCellular. When there aren't as many companies - you can't get those big time deals. Mine is okay though. It's 2 phones, 600 anytime minutes, 3000 night and weekend for $70/month. I got it shortly after we moved here so Myranda could keep in touch with her friends at home. That seemed like plenty of minutes. (still seems like more than enough to me) And yet, she has been known to overuse in talking to those friends back home. So, she gets the occasional lecture on watching her minutes. Of couse, yesterday was just "I'm trying to watch the minutes Mom."

The fact that I override all minutes does not occur to her.

*sniff* I'm misty-eyed, Master Dwarf!

I'll respect you even if you spam forever! *grin*

Good morning everyone... (it's still morning where I'm at, barely)

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, cakes, and presents! They have helped to brighten an otherwise gloomy day.

Have a good Monday, all!

Sorry to hear your back is bothering you... as someone who has occasional muscle spasms and a disk that likes to slip every now and then, I can certainly sympathize. Hope it feels better soon!

LOL, is that bear giving the Black Power salute? He must have just won an Olympic track & field event, or something!

Yes, I'm a Taurus... as stubborn and bull-headed as anyone can be. But as long as I have a lot of good food and creature comforts, I'm easy to get along with. ;)
