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.

That is why we have to focus! - It is easy after seeing them so many times to let the movies just be background music..... Which is OK to some degree, us talking will be a rare treat, the movies are just why we are meeting after all this time.

Don't you think it would be a hoot doing Jello shots in the Mines of Moria?

"HA! - No - His pass is not the war, the missus just had a baby"
And they just moved and don't have their Internet act together.

Wars, new babies, moving, no internet service. Some people will take off for virtually no reason at all!

Have you got your new computer yet?

Nope, somebody just scammed about $2K out of our checking account with phony VISA charges. This may delay things till the bank restores the cash!!

Well, I will say, Mr. Sulla, that his excuses are better than yours.

As soon as the bank restores the money, buy a computer quick before someone else spends it!

Shhhhh!! Don't let Mrs. Sulla hear you.

Looked in on the Eagle Cam, can't tell if the eggs have hatched. The Ospreys on some of our local power poles are raising their chicks here. It is amazing, they raise their families within 20 feet of our local 4 lane highway. Too bad that Eagles are so shy!

They aren't that shy! - This tree is in a housing development!

There are dark spots on both eggs, I think. Definately on one, but I think on the other too before mama rolled them last. I think they are breaking out, but not out yet.

Mom and dad Eagle are both out of the nest and one egg just moved by itself! They are definately breaking out soon! Their parents may miss it.

Hey, order it from Dell. They didn't charge my account until we already had the new system up and running...

Four days? Four days? Okay, I DO know how to track YOU down...

No luck yet on g'nad.

His profile only shows his most recent posts (what's up with that?), but he said the baby was to be born in Lebanon. He's not listed there. Nor is he listed in the other town we thought. There is a listing under his name in Columbia. But that doesn't sound right (and I get no answer there anyway).

Any thoughts?

I was hoping for a forwarding number. But I just get the 'not in service' recording.

I'm kicking myself because I meant to get his new snail mail address and forgot it.

Don't kick yourself, it is a waste of energy and you may pull a muscle!
