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.

When you sell something on eBay, how do you determine your shipping costs?

Cool Pics Ruthy, thanks! You guys look.......gulp.....like normal human beings....:^) (imagine that!)

I think the crisis is well on the way to being averted. I sat down with her tonight, let her watch over my shoulder as I gave her a guided tour of FR, showed her some of your profile pages, read through portions of the thread, showed her the Yahoo side too, even went into chat to show her how that worked.... I could feel the tension easing off from her as she began to understand. (*AHEM* But that Elijah tatoo pic didn't exactly help -- went real fast past that...LOL!). And then, I popped the question: would you consider going with me to meet......gasp......some of these normal human beings, e.g. DT and ecurbh for MN moot. And she said....."maybe"..... That's good, that's very good, that means probably, I think. Oh I feel much better now.....

I would like to apologize for throwing such a depressing cold wet blanket into the Hole earlier today.... but think how I felt. That quote about Gimli leaving for a greater love had double meaning for me.... I was agonizing.... But I really think things are going to be OK.... Thanks for all your support.... See ya tomorrow...

Hi Corin, hi all. I had a long day and religion class was... interesting. There's this one person, I'm almost ok with the militant lesbian atheist bit she's got going but she also acts as if that excuses her from manners, or doing her assignments. Thankfully she's not in my group. I have nice, normal people who are Presbyterian or love science fiction or have something in common with me....

Let your wife know that we are all eager to meet you and your family. It will be a great time for all of us, no doubt. :)

It's tough to explain the Hobbit Hole to our significant others, but you did the right thing by letting her see for herself. We're LoTR fans, yes, but we all are ordinary people with ordinary lives that just happen to have extra-ordinary friends!

I've got to get to bed, folks. See you in the morning!

And she said....."maybe".....

But...but she has to go to the MN moot! Then it'll be like a double date.

Well, my hobbity friends, as I've expected for a little bit of time now, the Board that I have worked for informed me today that my time with them was over (fired). They indicated they were willing to negotiate with me (they have to be given how much I know). So, I'm meeting with an attorney tomorrow to discuss negotiations and wrongful dismissal actions.

I cannot say I'm terribly upset about all this, as work was getting unbearable. Time for me to move on to something completely different...and outside of a government like that in this ultra-leftist state. An opportunity, I think.

Well good luck for the future. It sounds like it'a a relief to get out of that place, but then what I like to call "paycheck uncertainty" can be rather stressful.
