The Bridge at Khazad-Dum was always one of my favorites.

Blast from the past with that Bridge thread, Mith -- that was a fun one!

Besides the ones mentioned, I'll add:

This post by Marileangorifurnimalium in Find your best location in Middle-earth. Most of the rest of the thread is talk about one of BW's site gadgets, but this post by Maril is a side-splitter. How I miss her! She was a treasure and no mistake.

Burglary, Pockets, and the Hobbit is a short but fun sample of that old time dry Downs humor.

And how could I neglect Squatter's legendary Curious evening in Oxford? I can't! It's remarkable not only for the Squatter's nocturnal adventure in the boneyard, but also for the birth of Travest-o-technology®.

Its been 2 years since I last posted here, and nearly a year since anybody posted here. Thought I'd raise the dead by saying 'g'Day!

g'day
Snowdog! How have you been? What have you been up to?

Snowdog · 03-04-2010, 10:10 PM

Hey Rae! Been working, trying to figure out life's next move, and the biggie, residency, is done! Having a cuppa at afternoon break-time right now.

How's Washington state??? Folks tell me they are having an early spring this year, compared to a late spring last year.

WooHoo! Congratulations on the residency!

Yes, we basically had no winter. It's been 50-60 degrees.

Life's been changing for me. My oldest is out of school and working for the county. Makes more than I do. Two more to go, have two girls in Jr High.

My Mother-in-law, who was once the bane of my existence, is mellowing as she looses her faculties and we are adding on to the house to accommodate her.

But the best part is we're building me a craft room. I'm attempting to make it as Elven as I can.
