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.

Terror alert raised. I've noticed an increase in air traffic up above...helicopters and F16s. Since early this morning. I wondered what was up, because it's been so quiet the last week or so.

Hi, 2J! Any chicken news yet?

[2Jedismom]

No, no news. I'm giving up on them. If they come through, fine. If not, I'll get a couple of chickens somewhere or other.

I've feeling very uneasy about this Orange level. I've been uneasy all day.

[HairOfTheDog]

Sorry you are uneasy! - As our resident white-knuckler, you always have to get these things first. It is scary always, but I don't have a 'spidey sense' about this one this time, if that helps.

[RosieCotton]

No, no news. I'm giving up on them. If they come through, fine. If not, I'll get a couple of chickens somewhere or other.

Well...hopefully it's just a matter of the shipment coming in "3-5 days"...i.e. the shipment just didn't come in on the first day it could be expected. Here's hoping!

Meanwhile, I probably SHOULD be feeling somewhat concerned about the change to level Orange...but instead I'm glorying in the fact that it's in the 80s outside, I'm working somewhere where I can wear jeans and sandals to work (I HATE wearing shoes in the summer!), and I have leftover Chinese food waiting at home. ;-) I'm so shallow...

Don't you suppose the rise in the alert, has to do with the holiday weekend coming up? I think every holiday since 9-11 the alert has gone up.

Maybe so!! Oh WHEW!! I'll bet that's what all the air traffic is about too...

I was just about to wrap us up in plastic and duct tape!

[2Jedismom]

Maybe you are right about the chicks...I'm just not going to call anymore. They have Steve's number if they come in.

I am on my way to the library to get a book about raising chickens. See you all later!

How far along is Jill? When I was about 5 months pregnant with my #2, I got an awful case of bronchitis. The doc said I was far enough along that the antibiotics wouldn't hurt the baby. It didn't and he's just as normal as I am. Oh wait, never mind! ;o)

Ruthy...I am praying :D

[Alkhin]

ACK!! I MISSED!

If folks would like to see places in North-Central Florida, such as Silver Springs, Weeki-Watchee Springs, Homosassa Springs (do you notice a pattern here?) I can lead an expedition there!

That would be great. I plan on having my new digital camera by then, and would love to go to some of the more off-the-beaten-path type places.

I noticed a helicopter flying overhead this morning too, as I was on my way to work. I was out at around 10 minutes to five am. I though it was strange for a helicopter that early in the morning.

Hey Dawntreader! Nice to see you around!

Oh, you like Pirates stuff? I could probably get you a ballcap or something... oh, wait, you meant the Pirates movie, not the Pirates baseball team.

I had a good day at work. I'm going to leave for choir early and vote on the way - it's primary day here in PA.

Rose likes watching Vin Diesel in just about anything.

or out of anything???

We're through watching now. It was kind of a semi-bummer because we got interrupted in the middle of it.... but the interruption was the guy about my home refinance. I might be saving some bucks.

rose has good taste in guys.

But I am still in full *swoon* mode from Hair's posting of Ml's pic over there.

Those eyes!!! Do they make your mouth water?

[Wneighbor]

My first grandbaby is due in Nov.:)

Isn't that awesome? This is my 4th!!!

We've had a lot of flyovers here today also. I was wondering what was up. Guess this explains it.

[2Jedismom]

Well, it could be nothing more than the Memorial Day weekend coming up...

But I remember right before the war started how the traffic increased up there.

[Wneighbor]

How far along is Jill?

Well, Seems like it must be 2 - 1/2 months. 10 weeks. They are concerned about the antibiotics but her respiratory history is bad enough that they gave them to her anyway. I'm old fashioned. I think as long as the antibiotics are not overdone her body and the baby's body will just metabolize out what would be harmful to the baby.
