Barrow Downs Misconceptions - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I just bypass family mirth by referring to this place as the hobbit fanciers' site...

I came by this site accidentally, and once I've opened it I got stuck in it. I was just googling the name of some character to check on some fact or other, and I opened The BDs. Right away I've opened a random thread, and obviously I wanted to post my opinion. That's the way I joined.

Yeah, I don't know what my previous post is doing here (

), but here's a misconception:

When I told my mother about the Downs she started asking me to "drop a question" here from her. And the questions were about where can she purchase a certain item, what's the closest place where she can get/do something, etc. For about a month I had to repeat to her over and over that a) this is a Tolkien forum, not a shopping ad, and that b) people from across the world won't be very helpful in sugesting stores that are nearest to your house.

Now she thinks I actually discuss Tolkien here.

Finland is a great place to buy everything you need. How about combining your shopping to a nice mother-daughter trip?
