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.

We are. :)
Why else would we argue about lembas and the "stuffiness" of Elrond?

I agree with the "peace at any cost" statement too. A few weeks ago when you posted that post that hurt me so badly, I flapped. JenB once said (for the relative newcomers) that I never flap, but in this case I did, because I was truly very upset. I suspect many thought my response was silly, but nonetheless...
Now I could have kept it to myself and never said anything but the Hole would never have been the same for me. So I let you know how upset I was. In your case, it led to reconciliation and my increased respect for you. You just don't know how much I appreciated that.
Those here in the Hole that are my "true" friends (as Ruthy defined them) have proven it over and over and I haven't said "Thank You" enough.

I hear ya, 2J.
What I have learned to do in the Hole is when something ticks me off or just plain rubs me the wrong way, I tell myself that if I'm still upset about it the next day, I'll post something after I've cooled off.
Usually, by the next day, I have blown it off.
That is a bad thing in a way since I become a doormat to some people in RL, but it is my nature to be non-confrontational. Ask trini - she knows me better than anyone.

I too sleep on things for a long time before I post. I wandered in here during the melee yesterday. I know I am a newbie and all, and I am not trying to start another fight, I am used to calling it as I see it. Anyway, yesterday from what I saw everyone was joking around about the spamming and stuff; I thought it was all in fun. Then I saw your post 2J, which I thought was a bit over the top esp. the false apology bit. I am not saying this to hurt you or anything, I am just giving you my impression as a newbie and somewhat outsider. I wish things hadn't got as ugly as they did, and I hope that someday Corin and Carton will come back, they Hole is already not the same without them.
Here also is my anti opus.

I know you've been lurking a very long time, trini. You know more or less how everyone is, their personalities and such. I'm just sorry that things blew up around here as you are trying to get settled.
Thanks for the anti-opus. :)

Just like a Wednesday afternoon effect. Tensions kind of mount at midday as hard works strain for the weekend relief.
We are, you know, just past the halfway mark.
Things will get better as we are nearing
The little things will seem less wearing
Eagerly awaiting
Anticipating
Nerves grating
The King's returning
It's downhill from here.
Peace to all.
To: RMDupree
You're just jealous! I'm perfectly happy with my Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm, thank you!
To: My back yard
That's it!! I blame PJ for all this!
We wouldn't have time to argue if he would have given us more spoilers!!!!
