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.

g'nad; sounds a typical day of retirement, lol. Really enjoyed the pictures of the young'uns, right handsome children.

Is that one of those "Ozark Jacuzzis?" You know-an outboard motor in a stock tank?

heh... They look the same to me too, whistles being outside my realm of experience also.

But for some reason, there is a distinction between them that matters to 2J! Think of it as a different *ism like on the religion forum.

Some days I think the idea of going into space appeals to me because there would be very few people there.

I hear ya.

I love my whistles. I have what? Seventeen of them? Probably more. Haven't counted lately.

The one I played for you the other day was a C Meg Whistle...slightly lower than the D I played in this tune. Cost me a whopping $2.80.

Oh, my goodness! That looks GREAT!

Well, it's not a gas station burrito. But, it's in the same family.

Space travel appeals to me because of the types that would be in space. Ever read Heinlein's "It's Great to be Back!"?

Well, as much as I'd like to sit here and chat about the fine points of pennywhistles...Steve will be home soon. We all know what that means! See you all later...probably in the morning.

Well that's great. Anyone who can play anything is doing good compared to me.

My son taught himself to play the guitar. Started the year before he got married and left home. Just came home with one one day. He is really good too. I don't know how people do it.

I took piano lessons as a kid, never took:) Iknow how to find middle C and that's about it.

WN; "drama queen", that is the perfect description for our dog, Samantha. For the past four years, we have been searching for the proper description, a turn of the phrase which sums up the canine companion that chose us when we went to 'Wayside Waifs'. Thank you. lol.

I am SO VERY GLAD that we aren't the only one with one of these! She is a love. But, she earned the adjective "drama queen". She is craving attention today. Yesterday I was far beneath her notice. The day before the hail scared her and she was a nervous wreck.
