The Hobbit Hole IV – The Road Goes Ever On…

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

The Road Goes Ever On…

• First thread: New Zealander builds Hobbit hole
• Second thread: The New Hobbit Hole
• Third thread: The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads! (Congratulations, we filled it up!)

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

I don't know when Jim took that 2nd photo. It was a surprise. I don't remember it. He just likes to run around with a camera though.

Good afternoon everyone!

Let me set out some grub whilst I talk.

I went out this weekend for a while with my sister and her friends. It was really fun, but I just can't stay up late like I used to. Friday night I was out until almost 5am and got up at 10:30am. Whew! Never again! *grin*

I went on an interview this morning after I dropped Becky off for her first day of school (kindergarten - she looked so cute!). I hope I get either this job or the one at where my sister works. It's looking good for both right now.

Ponytail length is good for me.

Hello!! How are you this afternoon??

We're taking a break from school...ate mac and cheese for lunch and now choc. chip cookies.

[Wneighbor]

OH RUTHY!!! That's wonderful news! I am glad both jobs are looking promising.

Because you are going to need to think about flying to Austin to join us at our all day long Austin moot for the showing of all 3 movies at the Alamo Drafthouse.

Lunch looks yummy and I am hungry.

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

LOL, Wn, you're getting ahead of yourself! We don't even know yet if the Drafthouse is going to be showing them back-to-back!

Hi, Ruthy! Hope you get good news on the job situation, soon!

Your lunches are even better than your breakfasts. :)

[Wneighbor]

Bear. I have decided it is. And that Ruthy is coming.

Don't burst my bubble. Today isn't bad yet.

[RMDupree]

I'm doing great, 2J! I'm happy to hear that your toe feels better, but I still think you should have it checked out. The pain is lasting an awfully long time, IMHO.

Becky gets out of school in 15 minutes. I'm stuck here at my boss's home office, so my mom is picking her up! I want to pick her up!!! I can't wait to hear how her first day went! :)

[RMDupree]

Hehehehehe....You know I wish I could do that, WN! I'm having trouble being patient enough for Entmoot in January!

Only 4 months away already!!

[RMDupree]

Thanks Bear! I'm really hoping for the position at the children's physical therapy place. The job is perfect!

[Wneighbor]

Don't you get a lunch? Can't you run by? Well, at least you can talk to her on the phone? yes?

[Wneighbor]

I'm really hoping for the position at the children's physical therapy place. The job is perfect!

Well, then, the children's physical therapy place is the one we will pray for!

Ok...I have another problem. Occasionally, since I downloaded this McAfee, I get this "Instant Message" that looks more like a pop-up ad for this webpage. Here is a screen shot of what it does...

Here is a close-up:

Any suggestions on how to get this to STOP!? It's done it to me several times today and it's done it before...I can't figure out where it's coming from.

[RMDupree]

Well, I plan on calling home in about 15 minutes to talk to Becky myself. My boss had to run to the dentist's, so I can't leave the office. And tomorrow I won't be working because my mom needs to go to the hospital to be with my grandfather who is having emergency surgery (heart).

So, while you all are praying, please pray for my grandfather - he's very frail and may not come though it. :(

[Wneighbor]

I tried to email you "after" photos last night but they didn't go through. I took them as soon as I could so the bruises wouldn't show up as much yet but there was still a lot. Today, it's bad. Not hurting - just looks like I'm got bad road rash or something.

This is going to be real interesting. I gotta go to a different doctor today. AND I got these HUGH bruises from the ink. Like over an inch out from the perimeter of the thing. I think I'm fixin' to get the lecture again. Think 2J will loan me a box fan?

So, while you all are praying, please pray for my grandfather - he's very frail and may not come though it. :(

We will be doing that.... and waiting to hear from you. We will want to know what's happening.

Does McAfee have a firewall? Turn it on.
Also turn your Windows Firewall on...

At this point, I am not sure if it is a popup ad designed to look like messenger, or a real Messenger service message.

If it is a messager service, it is coming in directly from a program random dialing IP addresses and is a real vulnerability, if it only happens at that site, it is a popup ad.

Either way, turn the firewalls on.... if it is a popup ad, then you can stop being freaked out by it.... If it is really a messenger message, they should stop.

Hello ladies and everyone! Glad to hear the cheerful and hopeful talk - especially about new jobs!... I am feeling a little 'off' today, but I am lurking and trying to shake it!

[RMDupree]

I know! I'm so behind in all of my e-mails, including FReepmails, but am catching up now!

I should have have that Excite inbox cleared out by the end of the day, so you can e-mail them again tonight and they should go through! :)

[RMDupree]

Sorry you're feeling a bit off today, Hair. Maybe you need some backgammon to cheer you up! *grin*
