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've been Betrayed!!!!!

What are you talking about? If you read the whole post you'll notice that he asked where I've been and I told him I've been HELPING the Hobbit Hole to reach implosion before this one.

Should I have LIED to him? ;^)

Sheesh, if I was betraying the HH why would I be trying to help us beat the NES? Hmmm????

This should be good for another 20 posts or so.......anything for the cause.

OUCH! I bet that hurt.

I let Samwise Jr. read your post. She said to tell you thanks for saying that. It makes her feel a little better hearing that.

If she is a reader that could handle a grown up book, I would highly recommend SeaBiscuit as an injury-recovery book. It is full of bad breaks and recovering and fighting to come back...Don't ever stop.

... It's been years since I was 11 so I don't know if it would hold her interest or not.

- ksen is playin' both sides....

5 posts in 3 days is HARDLY playing both sides.

Shall I start fussing when you guys post to different threads instead of this one while we're trying to reach implosion? After all, your time could be more productively used on this thread......

HA! we'll break 500 posts today for sure!

My news isn't so good today. Samwise Jr. blew out her knee at gymnastics Wednesday.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that! I'll keep her in my prayers. And congratulations on being calm...I'm not sure I would be!

You know, I wouldn't swear to it. But I'm pretty sure I've never posted on the NES thread. I get in trouble on the other threads over there.

I'm one of those moms who sits and frets when she does her tricks. Believe me, she dragged me kicking and screaming into the gymnastics world. I have been terrified that she would hurt herself. But this is her passion--her gift. I think I am so calm because I am grateful that she hurt her knee and not her neck or spine.

Tsk tsk!

You should have answered in true Gollum fashion and said...

"Mustn't ask us, not it's business!"

If they keep asking, just start with the "Cold be hand and heart and bone..." poem.
