*hugs Mad Baggins* YAY! ANOTHER CANADIAN! And you're a small towner too. I'd say where, but I'm not allowed to say, beyond that I'm from Alberta, west of east, I forget... nearish to Edmonton, anyhow.

Looks like most people are from USA, England and Canada, but there's a few from Scandinavia... Greetings, neighbours from the west!!! (Norway). I haven't met anyone else from Sweden yet tough... Hey, wait I just found a swede!
 Eärendil...I'm from the northern parts of Sweden, a little place called "Kalix". It's actually snowing here right now so everybody who's complaining about bad weathers, think of poor me

Well that's good to know Mith and I'd never met anybody (if you can actually say that seeing as we've never seen each other face to face) from Brazil Mumak! Is it nice there?

Laugh out loud Mith and yes I know who you're talking about Wilwa. I'm telling you, he's one samrt kid, skipping grade 8 like that. Wish I was as smart as he is. That would be nice, but oh well can't have everything in life.
Glirdy P.S. Don't worry Mith, I'll be afraid, VERY afraid!!!!

beech trees
"The name Beech is in early English boc, bece, or beoce; in German Buche, and in Swedish bok, and signifies either a book or the tree, the two senses being supposed to be connected by the fact that the ancient Runic writings were engraved upon beechen boards." There follows a lovely discussion of the Beech tree-- one of Proffessor Tolkien's favorites. "The Beech requires a thoroughly drained soil, and accordingly flourishes on high ground, whether calcareous or sandy. Its gray stems may thus be seen--often of great girth--throwing out their spreading roots." Nuranar: here is some practical info on the beech, latin name fagus, elvish name Almost-Mallorn: http://www.botanyworld.com/fagus.html Quote:
I'd like to hear from someone who knows about linden trees. Since Tinuviel's footfall is as light as a Linden Leaf, I've always wondered. Anoone got a picture or a link?

Wow Aman! You HAVE been busy haven't you! I was surprised to find myself on your list and actually would request a bit of a migration. I formerly was of Maryland, USA, but could now be said to be Ohio resident of quite some duration (12 years). Not quite Canada I'm afraid, but pretty darn close!

South Carolina...if you arent patient enough to read the list.
I live in the town of Goose Creek. The funny thing about Goose Creek is the references to LOTR. My apartment complex:Bucklebury Apartments. Down the street: Middle Earth Plant Nursery. Down another street: Goldberry's Flower and Gift Shop. Past the fault line in Summerville: Bombadil's Pub and Gift Shop. And in last place with the ranking:South Carolina,with one person (and Switzerland)

I am from Pittsburgh, PA. You know, the godforsaken place where everyone eats pierogies and has mullets? And says yuns! (sort of like y'all, but hickier)
I am moving as soon as I can drive.

I'm from New Jersey . . . not only the state that's in the middle of nowhere, but in a town that's in the middle of the state that's in the middle of nowhere . . . does that make sense?
Basically, I live in a town nobody's ever heard of, so I'm not even going to bother posting it, but yes, I live somewhere in- central, I think, New Jersey. Forty minutes away from Newark. I think.

Actually, there are quite a few Scandinavians here at the Downs. I know at least 6 from Denmark, 3 from Sweden and (incl. you) 3 from Norway. There are a few from Finland and Iceland as well, so anyone up for a Viking raid? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
