Welcome one and all! Please let me know by FReepmail if you would like to be added to or removed from the Finest's ping list.

Good morning Angel.

[dansangel]

A special welcome to the regulars of "The Hobbit Hole." Please feel free to come join us in spotlighting HairOfTheDog!

[dansangel]

Long time no see!

Good morning to you and I hope it's a great day for you!

(I'm still trying to wake up enough to get ready for w-o-r-k ugh! LOL!!)

Good Morning Dansangel!

It is two o'clock in the morning here, but when I woke up (dog #2 had to pee) and saw it was time for you to post your thread, I had to come and take a look!

The thread is beautiful, and I am so honored! Thank you for pinging the regulars! - They will come around when they pull themselves out of bed several hours from now perhaps!

Thank you for staying awake through such a dreadfully dull topic such as myself!

Well, #2 dog is all done now and may give me a few hours more peace until I really have to stay up! See you in a few hours!

[JameRetief]

Congratulations Hair!

Of course, those of us who frequent the Hobbit Hole always knew you were one of the finest. :-)

Keep up the great work!

[Budge]

Congratulations, HOTD!

Wish I could stick around and visit, but I'm already late for work.

Enjoy your day!

*Yawn* What's for breakfast?

The regulars of the Hobbit Hole (HH) are aware of my postings of the "Daily Tolkien" and "Tolkien Virgin" articles, but for those who do not frequent the HH, I extend an invitation to you as well.

As a special addition to my daily thread (The Daily Tolkien) which are essays and articles about various aspects of Tolkien's work, the "Tolkien Virgin" articles follow a first time reader through the "Chronological History" of Middle Earth.

If you would like to read along, either as a Tolkien Virgin yourself or just to read the books again, now would be a great time to do so. We are still at the beginning of The Silmarillion and will eventually journey through The Hobbit and finally The Lord Of The Rings. I have paced the articles to finish in less than a year to coincide with the release of the final Lord Of The Rings movie.

If you have read the books before but do not feel like reading along, you can still feel free to comment. Like the Hobbit Hole, all are welcome in the "Daily Tolkien" threads. My only request is that everyone remain civil and (relatively) on-topic about the current article.

To quickly catch up with the "Tolkien Virgin" articles (linked below) you have only to read the corresponding pages from The Silmarillion:

1) The Ainulindalë

2) Valaquenta

3) Of Aule and Yavanna

'Scuse me. I'm yawning because it's early in the morning. :) Great thread bump!

[Corin Stormhands]

Thanks dansangel! Great thread.

I hope RMD has cooked enough for everyone...

[Rocko]

Do not get a swelled head.

Congratulations, Hair! And thank you for always making our Hobbit-Hole a welcoming, comfortable place to spend the day!

You're the best! :)

Good morning Hair and Congratulations on being one of FR's finest! And don't let dnasangel bother you. She's all steam. Hehehe.... I see it's too early even for Meeky so I guess I'll have to put the coffee on. Gotta get ready for work. Enjoy your day. I know you will.

[nicmarlo]

Congratualtions, hairofthedog, for being one of FR's Finest!

Good morning, dansdevil! : )

[dansangel]

Good Morning to you, HOTD! Glad Dog #2 had to wake you (LOL!) so that you could get a glance at the thread.

I'm so happy you like it....now, quit saying stuff about how I had to stay awake....I thoroughly ***enjoyed*** doing this!

I'll pop in from time to time myself as this is a w-o-r-k- (ugh!) day for me!

[dansangel]

*Yawn* What's for breakfast?

Hmmmm....I'm hoping that GailA will come by with some coffee and bisquits for us. ***Hint-Hint*** :-)

I'm at w-o-r-k- (ugh!) so I'm not much help in the food department!

{{{{{{{{Overtaxed}}}}}}}}}}}

[dansangel]

Thank-you for coming by. It's great to meet you!

I love meeting new people on the Finest! Make yourself at home and hopefully some food will arrive shortly. :-)
