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.

Always liked going south. It's like walking downhill.

Indeed..... I am back and have changed clothes and set a sprinkler out. What's up here? 'Bout to find out.

Hullo LSAggie-Mrs. Osagebowman! - Thanks for the MoJam report!

Three happier guys you could not hope to see; the truck was loaded with bows, half-made bows, bow staves, tools, sleeping bags, snacks and an coooler.

Wow, and a great breakfast to boot! - Looking forward to hearing about the bowmoot.

Do take one deep breath and think hard before you commit to unemployment. It's pure, undiluted hell in these waters.

It's not hell if your dog still loves you.

...refuge for destitute Hobbit Hole Dwellers. I mean, I got a 3 bedroom house... If ya'll get desperate, you can take your chances.........

Wow! Sounds almost like an old-fashioned commune... - Can Bay can come along?

That truth got me through the night last night. :-) Even if my dog is Smeagol.

Bay might like it at the house close to the ranch. Although, there's only 3/4 acre. Way small. But, there's always the abandoned 3 acres next door. The owners don't want to sell it but it sure needs mowed! And the rancher behind me there has horses. Bay would have company.

Don't think Bay's owner would like it though. No A/C.

It does sound like it is getting to you Scott.... I can't offer you job advice, but I'd sure like to talk you into coming over for some cheer and a movie or something! - Or maybe up to the beach house to meet up with Ramius! - That's even better! Take us up on that!

I'm leaving to go home and cry for a bit. Then, tomorrow, I'll be ready to get back on the horse and ride!

Sounds fair Ruthy! - Sorry.

OH...okay. It sounded like she was shouting at the Lord.

Far be it from me to discuss religion here...but I don't think there is anything wrong with shouting to and even at the Lord. I think we have a lot of instances in the Old Testament where folks did just that. God isn't surprised with our emotions, He created them. And I believe He knows and cares when His children are hurting.

We've got a lot of folks hurting here on different levels, and I think it's okay to say (and scream if you have to) God, I'm hurting, my friends are hurting, please help!.

/internevangelist mode

Wneighbor: I'm sorry Myranda is being a brat. But you already know she's testing her wings. I pray that she'll come to her senses and come home soon (let us know if you need us to chip in for a fatted calf). And I pray for her health and safety so that she and Jill will live long long lives and have years to feel guilty about this. ;-)

Ruthy: Crap! I'm so sorry. You don't deserve this. We'll keep you in our prayers and our hearts and pray that what comes along will be even better than you can imagine.

Scott, OT and Hair: - we'll pray that your job situations will be resolved soon, and again in ways better than you can imagine.

ksen: I see what you've been up to...

ALL: Hullo! We are back from our bored meeting. It is always interesting when a division director stands up at the end of his report and announces his resignation. Apparently bossman had been tipped off, but it was s'posed to be a surprise. No class, really.

I'm okay with getting Frodo later than the 29th. Especially if you plan to overnight him here. We don't leave until the morning of the 2nd. I can get the shots around town as late as the 1st.

If I ship him from the Outer Banks, I can send him to mstar probably by the 4th or 5th.
