Thanks! What are your holiday plans? We're going to head for the midwest..

Raefindel · 12-24-2008, 09:17 AM

Despite the fact that everyone has cancelled plans to come, I can say that we are all well and happy and will have a Merry Christmas anyway.

I feel sorry for my sister; she's snowed-in, alone in her tiny cabin, probablly crying.

Have a safe drive, Hellen.

Merry Christmas everyone!

...and a happy New Year.

I am waxing nostalgic for some of the good old threads with the good old downers, and am tempted to go digging into aome archives. SO I thought I'd toss this one out:

For fun reading, here on the downs, what are your favorite old threads?

*cough* nobody has ANY?

Well, I like the lembas threads and the seasonal threads and... and... where's my rocker? Who took my rocker???

I guess I'll have some sleepytime tea, and discuss this with my pillow.

Gosh, I must have missed this while sipping on my Christmas punch or egg nog. (It definitely wasn't that mediocre tonic for iron poor blood that the doctors keep pushing on us old geezers.)

One of my favourite oldies was a goodie brought to us by She of The Blessed Long Name Easily Foreshortened Hobbit Sex Ed

*rocks a lil faster on her rocker thinking of the old time shenanigans and then gits up and offers a go-round to mark*

Agree Bethberry,

Maril's thread was inspired, beautifully written and achingly LOL-inducing!

A few that I often think of

The light in Frodo's face

Coffee!

Linguistic Puns, Riddles and Jokes in LoTR etc.

Of course the Epic Chapter by Chapter

also 'It feels different near the Shire' (my search-fu is weak)

For sheer 'awwwww' value Lalwende and Davem announce their engagement

And for the terrible guilty pleasure of looking at my favourite own post (off-colour though it be) Waste systems in Middle Earth

Raefindel · 04-16-2009, 08:47 PM

Oh Boy, these are going to take me a while to read, I'm mean re-read.

Helen, don't you remember? We busted up your rocker and made walking sticks for our hike last summer and mine we made into a fire and roasted marshmallows over it. Well, OK, we tried, it was raining and we huddled in the Park Ranger's tent and ate our meager lunches.
