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.

Yeah, it's all fun and games, till someone loses an eye....

Or an internal organ.

What...? You mean most girlfriends don't end up cooking my pets on the stove in some "I just wanted your attention for a minute to show you how much I love you special moment"????

Really??? Cool. That would be a big relief to my cat...

So, Ramius, at this Embassy, do you walk up to wenches and ask if they will cook your cat for you?

I can explain some things now.

Hair; yup, caught those themes, and the life list one too.

Corin; thyroid is generally treatable if it turns out to be the culprit. We had a cat treated for it in the 80's. Went to the Vet School at UofMO at Columbia MO. Little Victoria was treated with radiation and cured for many years. She did spend some of her recuperation time in a cage between a mountain lion and turkey vulture. She was a real trooper, though.

Ramius - excellent idea, crossing of the ones with significant chances of causing an early demise.

Wneighbor; re; snakes, I see a lot of them, had my share of buzzers, but I know there a dozen for everyone I see. Once I stepped on a snake, just behind the head, tail whipped up and hit me on leg. Darn near an olymic record for standing broad jump. lol. It was dead when I retrieved my hiking staff, the 11 D Vibram lugged loggers did it in and, yes, it was a few minutes before I regained "my composure".

"If I take you home, can you envision a future scenario where one day you might kill and cook my cat on the stove?" Is the question a lot of guys in bars would probably like to ask.

Yeah, the vet indicated that. We're hoping that this antibiotic will clear things up. Some of the other causes listed on that website were scary tho. We'll hope for the best.

No guy in a bar is going to admit he has a cat...

It's all part of that great mystery that is Romance.

"Oh yes! You like the same music!"

"Oh yes! You like the same movies!"

"Oh yes! You like the same politics!"

"What do you mean... 'have I ever considered building a dungeon in the basement...'". ????

yes, it was a few minutes before I regained "my composure".

I am sure that is a true statement! Odd thing about my sightings is that they are usually several yards away from me. I'm usually looking off at the vegetation to see what I can scrounge. Therefore, I suspect it's the close ones that I miss. Yeesh!

Not to mention my penchant for swimming in anything deep enough to play in. Whether I can see through it or not.
