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.

you drive a pickup? Seems like alot of Hole dwellers do.

I do!

It's supposed to be a crunchy cake (or at least crunchy on the corners) but I don't know how you make a cake crunchy without burning it.

My dog is so funny on mornings like this! Being as short as she is (she's a mini dachshund

The dog that lives at my house is a long haired dachshund. The name Smeagol says all we have to say about her personality for this group. Other places sometimes people ask about the name. Here - you should get it I think.

I have one, too, a '96 Dodge Ram, that I have had since it was new.

But I imagine we will take my wife's Saab to the minimoot.

[Sam Cree]

Thanks much.

We used to live in a rather snooty town in NH and there were hundreds of Saab's around (in a town of 3,000 that's pretty significant). One day I saw one go by whose license plate said "SNAAB". ;^)

[ksen]

Have you resigned from the thread too? Or are you just slammed at work?

[Overtaxed]

*Sniff*

By making it a big cookie instead! Soft and chewy in the center, but crispy on the outside and the edges. :)

[Overtaxed]

Well then it wouldn't be a cake. You wouldn't want to go against the word of Tolkien, would you?

[RMDupree]

I hope not. I really miss those Dwarves banter.

Corin - COME BACK!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!

That goes for you too g'nad, if you've left us. :(

May God bless you many times over, 2Jedismom!!!

Good afternoone everybody...am the starving hobbit right now, so just dropping by to say hi before my elevensies... And who says no one wouldn't chase after Frodo!?! Thing is, every woman I know of who adores him wants to mother him to death...but I think that hobbit has some surprises in him....

[RMDupree]

You wouldn't want to go against the word of Tolkien, would you?

Nope. Not me.

But I can bake a really BIG cookie and just call it a cake, can't I?

[Lil'freeper]

I have a 2001 Ranger- no bells or whistles. Great minds must think alike, as our household also owns a Saab! LOL!

[Sam Cree]

"SNAAB"

That's pretty good.

[2Jedismom]

He has! That nerve that was destroyed is very small and runs right into my brain. The virus could have caused me to never know my newborn...never know anything again. I'm very fortunate.

I had friend tell me that the reason I didn't get my hearing back was because I didn't ask God for it back...I told her I was too busy praising God for taking my hearing to ask Him to give it back!

[RMDupree]

Heck. After Rosie beat me off of her Sam, I tried to grab up Frodo and had Hair and Penny came after me snarling! LOL!

You've got Pippin so I am very happy being stuck with Merry. He'll come into his own in RoTK and you'll all be green with envy seeing me live it up in Brandy Hall (which occupies the whole of the low hill, and has three large front doors, many side doors and about a hundred windows.)

[Sam Cree]

daughter has a Saab, too, an '86. I like those old ones the best, hers has a 5 speed manual + turbo, a tiny 4 cylinder engine. She named it Elanor, after the winter flowers of Lorien.

2Jedi: And may He continue to bless you! Thanks be to God that He kept you well. I know he sent angels to watch over me when my daughter was born. It was a rescue operation to deliver her 2 months premature. The whole pregnancy I kept asking Him that if anything went wrong, make it be with ME and not with the little girl...and he answered...AND kept me safe...there was placenta previa, and then when they opened me up, discovered placenta accretia (placenta growing into the wall of the uterus).

Really, I think He had a HOST of angels around me that day! So I will join with you in praising Him. God is GOOD!

[Alkhin]

ROFL!!!

And Pippin, rightfully named Prince of Halflings (look it up in your Tolkien archives), will RESCUE a Prince!!!
