The Hall of Fire

I don't have time for a longer post atm, but I think this debate has been side-tracked a bit by focusing only on youth. Young people have always pushed the boundaries. The fact that adults do so to such an extent today is what concerns me. To a point yes, but I think in my post you could take the n...

I think if I look back on both of my careers, while in business I saw few employees who were not respectful as long as I treated them with respect, even those I let go. I did often come across with younger employees (twenties and this is in the 1990's and early 2000's) an entitlement attitude that I...

Frodo's mother who was born in 2918 because they recorded Lobelia's birth year down wrong to cover up this sin. If Lobelia was born in 2900 she would have been 18 when Primula was born (and it was with Gorbadoc Brandybuck and thus the hush hush nature of the entire event). This explains her hatred o...

Tried to get into it and their server must be down right now. Then again it is late at night, almost 2am here, and that could be it.

I was sexually active between 16 and 18 and then abstained until I married my wife in my twenties. My father did not encourage me, but had a real frank talk with me when I was getting really serious with my girlfriend at 16. We had stopped dating anyone else and were focused on each other, in a very...

I've searched their site but haven't found any computer requirements. As I have a MacBook Pro I'll be using the Windows side of that to run it. I'm sure I won't have an issue but just want to make sure as we bought a Wii for our next generation consul and I'm sure the wife won't go for a new PS3 for...

and having spent a good day reviewing the boards I really like it here. It is small, some really good in depth discussions I know I will really like it here. Now time to put some grades in and then get a presentation ready for a consulting job in two weeks, and get ready for a final procedure (I hop...

is a viable alternative. My only daughter and my oldest child is adapted. The birth mother is someone my wife had babysat in high school and my wife's family knew the birth mother's family extremely well. We tried infertility for 4 years and nothing and then the chance to adopt came along and we too...

It seems to me that in the Prologue, A Long-Expected Party and The Shadow of the Past that we get to see The Shire through the hobbits of Hobbiton and the surrounding area. As Frodo, Sam and Pippin begin their journey we see even more of the Shire outside of Hobbiton. I think the picture that Tolkie...

Guess I should say that wherever I go, I try to see if something strikes me as related to a scene in LOTR. You live in a wonderful state for that, ArathornJax! I do too (Oregon), and I do the same sometimes (although I'm no photographer, so I can't share what I see). Oregon even has a pretty good M...

is located in Colorado near Creede CO. Here is a link:

I call this hope as I have been going through some medical issues of late and I was still able to get out and get a short hike in. Got this picture and I really liked it.

Guess I should say that wherever I go, I try to see if something strikes me as related to a scene in LOTR. This is not my image of the Ford of Bruinen (I have one I'll drive/hike to and take a picture and share) but this one I really like and it makes me think of going to the Ford or perhaps after t...

This is where I image Frodo, Sam and Pippin perhaps walked through Woody End with Gildor

Not a huge hill, but I like how it looks in both spring and fall. This is a hike that is about 15 min. from my home (maybe 20 min). In Spring: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/ArathornJax/IMG_0132-1.jpg In Fall: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/ArathornJax/IMG_1700.jpg a wider view in fa...

I will be spending a lot of time in this thread. Here are some pictures I have: So many to choose from but I'll begin with what in North America I consider to be the Falls of Rauros. Not sure if I'm doing this right so I'll try it. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/ArathornJax/waterfal.jpg

but I would love to have discussion since it would get me back into th letters and perhaps let me build up my quotes of Tolkien.

Hello, I don't want to discuss higher math so I thought I better post here before I move on.

I saw Voronwë's post over at TORN and decided to follow it. Looks really interesting here! Glad I followed and thanks for the welcome!
