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 couldn't imagine not living within driving distance to the ocean.

Well, I supposed you could say three days is driving distance. But I'm with you ksen.

I'm two hours away. And that's too far.

I get claustrophobic in middle America.

Okay, ready or not, here goes. I've got my blog up and running. Come take a look. Be kind. It's brand new and the paint is still drying. But I'm open to constructive criticism.

Yes, I got a little rain. One good downpour so far. Sure turned dark, though...didn't it!!?

I shut off the computers during potential lightening...but it's past now, I think...I'm back on! Got the kitchen cleaned up and now am brewing a second pot of coffee!

I got this for the Renegade Chaplain...

On the inside, I intend to write

"To the Renegade Chaplain,

In appreciation for your service to our country from the Free Republic Hobbit Hole Dwellers."

I'd like to also put an appropriate quote from the books here...any suggestions?

"Run for it, Frodo, we're doomed"?

Ooops, that wasn't from the book. How about the bit about "What matters is what we do with the times we are given"?

Hi guys, home from work. I learned how to change transmission fluid today - Dad showed me after work. Spent time fantasizing about having a place of my own... mmm...

Am perhaps going to the library tonight. Anyone have suggestions?

Another storm comes and goes and nary a drop of rain

We haven't had any either and it's been in the forecast all day today. Frustrating when you are kind of counting on it. Oh, well, I'm watering the new things I put out. Is your name really Becky? I figure it is, I started to address you as such but thought I better ask first.

I will take pictures. 2 cameras are going with me.

I can't get anybody on the Lone Star thread to answer me except CindyDawg who is way down by Mexico. I also posted on a couple of the threads having to do with the criminals and on the Texas Local thingy. No replies.

I will be careful. Bought my poster board at WalMart. Now need something to write on it.

Forgot my Social Security card to trip to Home Depot will have to be repeated.

Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me.
I wish none of this had happened...

Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought...

Have you read the book yet? When you do, please give me a review. I think I might want to read it.

What did you need your Soc Sec card for? Did you go harass the stupid fleeing democrats yet? Are you really sure you want them to come back?

I read it a while back and just remember thinking "Oh, I already knew all this!" But I don't even know if they chaplain has ever read the LOTR and it's good for someone who hasn't read it, or might wonder what's so great about it.

I was going to Home Depot to apply for a part time job to supplement my lack of income from teaching. They want a SS card.
