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.

anybody outbids me, gets an axe in the head...

So, that's what happened to all those guys buying up whole lots at prices you weren't willing to bid? That's one way to keep the bidding in your range I suppose.

Miss Peege is a spoiled rotten only cat. She doesn't take too kindly to other cats in her space.

Her and Myranda's dog huh? 2 of a kind.... except one feline and one canine.

LOL- good idea about the auction tho. Just passed that tidbit on to Big'ol. We will be in the market for a tractor/mower thingy*. An auction might be a good source.

Used doesn't make any difference if they serve the purpose!

I know, you're having dinner. Enjoy dinner. I will probably be wildly swaying between lonesomeness for a kid and elation at not having to take care of all the responsibility for the next month. So, enjoy yours for me. (and I won't feel guilty for being a little relaxed)

That would be fun! I've been wanting to see the Marfa lights for a long time.

Me TOO! Unfortunately, they didn't appear on my command when I scheduled my last visit out there. Wonder what happened there?

Don't worry Rosie! You have single friends here too. No one here is engaged. unless Hair wasn't entirely truthful about that vet visit the other day.

Oh, I know! But I'm still more and more aware of my age these days.

Sorry to whine...I know today hasn't exactly been easy for you!

Today is graduation day for my first batch of freshmen from the prep school and I'm going to attend. Politics at the school have gone from sour to downright putrid but I'd like to see the boys just one last time. It's amazing how attatched you can get to such wacky, hyper, absentminded goofballs. *sigh* The students are the only thing I really miss about teaching. It will be good to see them again today.

Wow, it's amazing how many things about how I'm feeling about teaching that you summed up right there. From the elation of having my first student graduate this May, to the putrid politics.
