@Tyranexx said : " I'm currently READING through the LotR trilogy"

You don't know how happy I am when I read something like that !
You're reading !
I think the reading of all good books is like a conversation with the most honest people of past ages.

@Cobalt: Thanks! But I will admit that I've done things a little out of order this time around. I prefer to read books before watching the movies based off of them, but TBH I've actually seen the LotR movies first. At least I can say that I've read The Hobbit before seeing the trilogy of movies from that book alone. In fact, I STILL haven't watched them....

@Tyranexx The LOTR film adaptations are one of the best film adaptations of books IMO, so you're forgiven!

@Octane

Agree but the books of Tolkien are muchhhhh moreeee detailed than the movies.

@Tyranexx You have good taste.

About books, I haven't read those yet, I should because I'd like them, but I have to recommend Jurassic Park and The Lost World books, I loved them.

I think we can move the chit chat to the chitchat thread.

im never ever leaving here.
you all can consider this an eternal christmas present.
it just keeps giving

Still running the N-life retirement center!

Saw @TheLZdragon post in here for a second I thought he was leaving.....

Ruined my day when I just saw that he was replying to someone else. 😘

well well well look what the wind blew in...we have a webcam chat due soon...be there or be square. unless being square is by default...

I’ll probably be off the site more today and tomorrow I’ve got tons of truck, house, and work things to take care of as I prepare for Smash gluttony and my days off.
If you @ me, I’ll reply. I just won’t catch up on reading stuff as much.
Happy gaming, everyone. Five more bedtimes.

@ReaderRagfish I’m the event of a true emergency, please contact your NL forums

@HobbitGamer: I would think that the bedtimes would get harder to fall asleep for as you get closer to the release date....Unless you're like me and tire yourself out to the point where you pass out in bed almost immediately.

Enjoy your adulting! The payoff will be sweet when you get to your Smashpalooza in about a week.

@Tyranexx @ReaderRagfish Well, I’m mostly done now!! The part for my truck hasn’t come in yet, but it’s not a critical item. Replacing a bathroom faucet was a breeze, and I’m doing groceries in the morning. For work, the state vendor screwing up continually has allowed me some breathing room before I have to give an executive briefing (now Thursday instead of Monday).

To top it off, I fixed up a neighbor’s tractor for $50 and grabbed ARK.

@HobbitGamer: Takin care of business!

I’m going to be at camp from December 26-31. Anyone can still @ me, just don’t expect a reply or other posts from me until the 31st. _{I will try to keep posting, but my scoutmasters don’t like people using phones at camp outside of tents.}

Have fun at camp, don't waste time on your phone.

I’ll definitely have fun there, got merit badge classes most of the day and will be with my friends the rest of the time. I am also part of the temporary leadership for the camp, so can’t really use my phone during the day even if I wanted to.

@PolarExperience: Have fun! I kind of hope for your sake that it's either somewhere warm or indoors. Unless you're one of those warm-bloods who like freezing weather.

@Blitzenexx It’s all outdoors, the closest thing to an indoors area is the barn . I am warm-blooded, but it gets pretty cold when you are outside for days in temperatures under 65 degrees. Just hoping it’s warmer than last winter, that was the first time I saw Houston caked in snow.
