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.

I think he's OK - think I am gonna cancel the appt. I hate to cost them a vet trip for nothing. - He isn't all hunched over in the back like Logan got when he was plugged up... and boy could Logan get plugged up!

I think the stress of a vet visit would be worse for him than just keeping him under your own observation.

When my family would care for my future bro-in-law's old rottie, he would normally pine a few days for his dad. During this time, he wouldn't eat much. After 2 or 3 days though, he'd be right as rain again.

I'm a 48% snob, but a 65.48323% geek (a Geek God, yay!)

I'm disappointed in both results... I wanted to be less of a snob, and more of a geek.

I think so.

I have to reboot, my keyboard isn't working right.

I got teary reading the prologue!

I've gotten teary several times, and I'm only halfway through. It's a wonderful book.

Seems so! - It is after the earthquake, and he is talking about image.... I was just thinking of all the images... the great cuts from the movie that are in the trailer, mingling in my head with that great series of Buick commercials with Henry Earl.

I don't think that's the same deep psychosis that Hair has to deal with. But, I share that one with you. We should have all our bills sent to Hair so she can get 'em out of her mailbox and pay 'em. That way she would get over her mailbox phobia faster cause she'd have to go so often.

OK everyone! I feel renewed after having spent some time hanging with my friends again!

Alas, I must now get this work done and get home. Hope to see you all later!

No, the row of numbers on my keyboard wasn't working. It is now, though, and I didn't even have to reboot.

Can I tell the trolls to drop dead?
