...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?

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.

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*

Top Tips
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

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.

Sorry for the lack of response - my rocker has changed its location since my last post. It's also pushed up to a computer screen, where I am finding out that producing a book is definitely more time-consuming than reading one!
Nonetheless, two of my favourite threads occur to me; here they are for your reading enjoyment: If LotR had been written by someone else? The One Ring?

*looks about for somebody sleeping in their rocker, so she can dump them onto the floor and sit down, but everyone is now suspiciously awake* Maybe I'll just knock somebody out with my walking stick.

No Worries, I"ve had new ones made and they're waiting in my yard, facing the creek, of course.
The kettle is on and the Elf is lonely for her friend.
