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'd love to learn those fabulous dances!

I'm half Cuban, half Puerto Rican and even I can't salsa well! Lack of practice does that!

Yes!! That is, if you like! I'll wait for them if you are going to order them. After I get them, that's when I'll go shopping and fill the boxes up the rest of the way.

Or did the hatred come in later, after reconstruction, etc.?

"Hate" probably isn't the best term to use. Whites certainly considered the slaves to be inferior, and they certainly thought they should be kept "in their place."

But, contrary to what "popular" opinion would tell you, many slaveowners were quite fond of their slaves. Of course, sadly, some slave owning men pratically "loved" their slave women...

Yes....I'm thinking. They told me if I decided not to move I only have to refund the net part of the bonus, not the gross. That helps. Next I want a purt' near figger on what it costs to move (or warehouse).

Figures ought to be only a few phone calls away.

Could you do a minimum of packing/storing and get an efficiency apartment in KC to check things out for a month or so?

Do they still have efficiency apartments now days?

Was he caught IN Texas? We need to nail his hide to the barn door if so.

I'm off to find that thread, be back in a bit.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. The hatred part is more recent.
