The Hall of Fire

Seeing the trailer of the upcoming film about Tolkien's life, I am hopefully optimistic about seeing a decent movie.
Who has seen it? What is your impression? Have you heard of the release date?

Howdy there rwhen! It's good to see you here. I know that you will make yourself right at home, as you are such a "comfy-type" person.
So kick your shoes off and have some Bailey's.

I’m kind of a LZ fanatic, if you can’t tell. You have excellent taste in music my friend. We should get along very well. I love both the studio version, the 30 minute version and the live version of Dazed and confused. I saw them in 1973 and had planned to again later, but Robert Plant's son died a...

After raising ywo sons to become wonderful young men (thank God for His providence), I HAVE survived and am having the best time of my life.....after age 50

After 20 years of teaching kindergarten, I have special needs as well....

perhaps I shouldn't go into them here.

Yes, that is very true! If I was brought up in only one religion, (when I was born, we were Catholic ;)) I probably wouldn't have thought about questioning anything. But being exposed to so many different ideas naturally gave me lots of questions. :) I was brought up in only one religion (if by tha...

I agree with you line of thinking, truehobbit , that gun ownership + fear= potential disaster. There are usually alternative ways to handle frightening experiences, if you stop and think clearly or have a "what if" plan. Another interesting story in a neighboring town: there have been nume...

Yes, if I know a parent wants their child to be in my class, I can tell the school counselor. She helps with placing the children in classrooms. It's a dificult thing to do, as the placement team trys to honor the requests, but has to have the classes equal in terms of financial status, racial make-...

My sincere sympathies go out to those who've lost loved ones. My heart is breaking for you. This type of tragedy brings the fact home to me that you never know when your last day on earth will be. I hope to live each day with purpose and let my family and friends know how much I love them. Meli

I don't know what the answer is . I do know that when more folks own and use guns, more folks will be injured/killed by them-it's a matter of probability. people that commit crimes will find ways to use guns, gun-control laws or not. Do guns really keep us safe? Last week a woman drove her child to ...

I'll have a talk with the principal, baby, and put in a "request" for you...when you turn 5. :D ( I let MY students have "free play" time, even though we're not supposed to-DON'T TELL ON ME!!!) Thanks for the note of appreciation, axordil. I love the part of my job that deals wit...

Thank's Voronwë!!! :hug: You're the best!! Athrabeth's words help explain why Aragorn is someone I care for very deeply. He IS Envinyatar,the restorer. Although not stated outright, you can see how Aragorn was "chosen" for this task of restoration. His Arnor/Gondor bloodline, the years he ...

I feel the sisterhood bond, Primula. Great minds think alike, you know.

Really like that pic, Sam. It has an "exotic" feel to it. Did you gbuy any oranges????

Reminds me of the movie A Cloclwork Orange, though I was just a young thing back then.

For me, music first goes int my ears, travels into my brain and bounces around there for a short bit. Sometimes the beat shows up in the tapping of my feet, but if the sounds are REALLY good, the boody gets moving!! :woohoo: (Know it's not really "good", but "Play that Funky Music&quo...

As a kindergarten teacher in a public school, I just have to comment. I think that you made the right decision, Ax. You are your son's first and best teacher. No one knows his as well as you. Listen to your heart and have peace with the decision you've made. He should do fine. :D If you ever have an...

Oh, please "re-forge" an Aragorn thread. It is my calling to give adoration and praise to this wonderful creation of Professor Tolkien. :love: (I've got some funny pics and stories that would be most fun to share as well :D ) Boy, I'm certainly glad that I came here!! :woohoo: Meli

How sweet of you, Voronwë!! :hug: Thanks :wave: !! I try. Several months ago I took a class at church entitled Discovering God's Vision for Your Life. It's designed to help you find your spiritual gifts. In one of the exercises, we were to list 5 people that we admire-of any time or place, even fict...

Many thanks for your prayers. Though I don't know him, I'll include Whistler in my prayers as well.

[quote="samwarg"]Well I'll be a horn-squabbled mule! Are you Meli from LA? If you are, I hope you didn't trace me here by all my old geezer parts that keep falling off. Say, that fellow with the sword looks kinda familiar. Didn't he used to hang out with a lot of short people? quote] Yes, ...

Thanks for the warm welcome, friends old and new!
It seems that my reputation goes before me.
Well, like my grandmother taught me, if you're going to do something, better do it well.
